Telescoping Sheet Lifters

Telescoping Sheet Lifters are below-the-hook lifting devices designed specifically for handling flat sheet material, steel plates, and other wide, flat loads. The telescoping design allows the beam's span to be adjusted to match the width of the sheet being lifted, providing balanced support and stable handling across a range of material sizes.

Sheet lifters typically use lifting clamps, magnets, or vacuum pads at the pick points to grip the sheet material from above. The telescoping span ensures that the pick points can be positioned at the optimal spacing for each sheet width, preventing the load from bowing, flexing, or tipping during the lift.

All telescoping sheet lifters supplied by Amick comply with ASME B30.20 and BTH-1 requirements. Rated loads may vary with span setting — always verify capacity for the specific configuration in use.

Amick can offer a wide variety of horizontal, horizontal to vertical, and vertical only type sheet lifters. Adjustable span for precision sheet handling — telescoping lifters from Amick in Pittsburgh. Call 412-429-1212.

Type

Telescoping below-the-hook lifting devices for flat sheet and plate material.

Applications

Steel service centers, fabrication shops, manufacturing, and construction. Used for lifting, positioning, and transferring steel plates, sheet metal, aluminum sheets, and other wide, flat materials.

Exceptions

Rated load capacity changes with span setting — always confirm the rated load for the actual telescoping position. Ensure the sheet is properly engaged by all grip points before lifting. Inspect telescoping mechanisms, locking pins, and grip devices before each use. Annual periodic inspections required per ASME B30.20.
