The wrong attachment creates risk. The right one makes the lift safe and straightforward.
Crane attachments — lifting beams, spreader beams, below-hook devices and rigging accessories — are the interface between the crane hook and the load. Selecting the correct attachment for the load geometry, weight and centre of gravity is a critical part of lift planning.
Coppard supplies LOLER-compliant crane attachments for hire alongside our crane and operated hire services. All below-hook lifting devices are subject to thorough examination and supplied with current certificates.
What Crane Attachments Are Available?
Crane attachments — also called below-hook lifting devices — are the equipment used to connect the load to the crane hook. The correct attachment depends on the load type, weight, dimensions and the required lift geometry.
If you are unsure which attachment is correct for your load, describe the lift to us and we will advise. Getting the attachment selection right at the planning stage costs nothing; getting it wrong on the day costs time and creates risk.
Our Crane Attachment Hire Service
Coppard supplies crane attachments on hire alongside our crane hire service, or as standalone supply to contractors using their own cranes. All equipment is LOLER-compliant and supplied with current thorough examination certificates.

Crane Attachment Hire Across East Sussex and the High Weald
Crane attachments are required for every crane lift — from a simple single-leg chain sling on a straightforward pick, to a custom spreader beam for a long precast concrete unit. Across East Sussex and Kent, the range of construction activity means the demand for correct lifting gear is constant.
Precast concrete construction on residential and commercial developments in Crowborough, Tunbridge Wells and East Grinstead requires spreader beams and lifting inserts for floor units and wall panels. Steel erection on commercial projects across the area uses lifting beams for long structural sections. Industrial plant moves in the area require specialist below-hook devices for non-standard loads.
Coppard’s attachment stock is maintained to cover the most common lift types encountered on East Sussex and Kent sites. For specialist or unusual loads, call us to discuss and we will source or fabricate what is required.
We supply crane attachments to lifting operations across Tunbridge Wells, Uckfield, East Grinstead, Heathfield, Wadhurst, Forest Row and Tonbridge. Same or next-day supply from our Crowborough depot across East Sussex and Kent.

Frequently Asked Questions — Crane Attachment Hire in Crowborough and East Sussex
What is a spreader beam used for?
Do lifting beams and slings need LOLER certification?
Yes. All lifting accessories — slings, shackles, lifting beams, spreader beams and other below-hook devices — are subject to LOLER and must be thoroughly examined at regular intervals (every six months for most items, twelve months for some loose lifting accessories). Coppard supplies all items with current certificates.
Can I use a crane attachment hired from Coppard with a crane from another supplier?
Yes. Coppard’s attachments can be used with any compatible crane. The crane hook SWL must be appropriate for the attachment rated capacity, and the rigging arrangement must be reviewed by the appointed person before the lift. We will supply the certificates and specification sheet for your appointed person to review.
How do I know which sling is correct for my load?
Sling selection depends on the load weight, the number of legs, the sling angle, and the surface finish of the load (some loads require soft webbing slings to avoid surface damage; others suit wire rope or chain). Tell us the load weight, the lift point configuration and any surface finish requirements and we will specify the correct slings.
What is the difference between a lifting beam and a spreader beam?
Both are used to distribute the lift across multiple points. A lifting beam is supported from above at a single central point and carries the load at multiple points below — it is in bending during the lift. A spreader beam is supported from above at two or more points and transfers horizontal spreading force — it is in compression during the lift. The correct choice depends on the load geometry and the available crane headroom.
How quickly can you supply a crane attachment?
For standard lifting beams, slings and shackles, same or next-day supply is available for most East Sussex and Kent locations. For specialist or unusual attachments, lead time varies — call 01892 662 777 to confirm availability for your specific requirement.
