hasNoteDerived from http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/spreader+beam|Beams have top rigging and direct most of load stress through the rigging directly to the hooks.|Structurally spreader beams spread load and are not designed to equally handle load stress at all points across beam spread.|The greater distance between the hoist and the load (due to top rigging) gives these beams greater stability.
