Flexible Lifting, Minus the Bulk

In sheet metal, HVAC, and mechanical construction, not every lift happens in an easy-access space. Crews often work around rooftops, mechanical rooms, and active jobsites with limited crane access and low-headroom conditions. This means every pound of rigging weight matters.

The Aluex STR9+ Telescopic Spreader Beam gives contractors a lighter, more adaptable solution for demanding lifts. With a 9-ton capacity at 60°, the STR9+ delivers serious strength while weighing just 159 lbs., making it easier to transport, position, and set up compared to traditional options.

Its dual extension system adjusts from 8.2 ft. to 17.2 ft., helping crews adapt to different pick points and changing lift configurations without swapping out beams. The integrated 2-leg, 17 ft. Dyneema rope bridle keeps setups streamlined, while the compact aluminum design makes the beam ideal for jobs where maneuverability, headroom, and speed are critical.

For contractors looking to reduce rigging weight, improve setup efficiency, and keep lifts moving safely, the STR9+ is a practical addition to the jobsite. Available for rent from LGH, it gives crews the flexibility to handle more lifts with less hassle.
