Working beneath deep overhangs or confined structures can quickly turn a routine lift into a complex challenge. Traditional lifting equipment often struggles with restricted access, limited reach, and maintaining safe load control.

Overhang Beams, available through GGR Group, are designed specifically to overcome these obstacles. Combining counterbalanced lifting technology with precise remote operation, Libro beams allow operators to place heavy materials accurately beneath overhangs, inside buildings, or in hard-to-reach structural zones.

With advanced safety systems, adjustable counterweights, and optional integrated vacuum lifters, counterbalance beams provide a versatile solution for industries that demand precision lifting in restricted environments.

Designed for Deep Overhang Lifting

At the core of the overhang beam system is a remote-controlled counterbalance lifting beam, engineered to extend reach beneath deep overhangs while maintaining safe load stability.

The beam’s adjustable counterweight system uses a rack and pinion saddle mechanism that allows operators to precisely balance the load during operation. This ensures smooth, controlled lifting while minimising the risk of instability when working at extended reach.

To further enhance safety, the beams include an integrated ±10° anti-tilt safety switch, protecting the load and equipment by automatically stopping if excessive tilting occurs.

Because our Overhang Beams are fully battery-powered, they deliver efficient, fume-free lifting, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor construction environments where emissions or power supply limitations may be a concern.

Versatile Solutions for Specialist Lifting

Overhang Beams are engineered to support a wide range of specialist installation tasks across construction and façade work.

Some models are equipped with integrated 3D vacuum lifters, allowing glass or smooth materials to be lifted and positioned with exceptional precision. For projects requiring even greater reach, an optional extension model provides additional overhang capability, enabling operators to safely position loads deeper beneath structures.

Your Overhang Beam can also be enhanced with a corner lifter attachment, compatible with the Libro 3000, allowing corner and angled elements to be lifted at angles of 0°-90°. This flexibility makes the beam particularly valuable for installations where precision and stability are vital for the lift..

Key Applications for Libro Overhang Beams

Glazing Installation

Large glazing panels often need to be installed beneath canopies, balconies, or building projections. Overhang beams equipped with 3D vacuum lifting technology allow contractors to safely manoeuvre glass panels into position while maintaining precise control and visibility.

Overhang and Façade Work

Deep structural overhangs can make façade installation extremely difficult using conventional lifting equipment. Overhang beams extend reach beneath these structures, enabling safe placement of façade components, cladding panels, and architectural features.

Cladding Installation

Modern buildings frequently incorporate large and heavy cladding panels. Counterbalance beams allow installers to position these panels beneath balconies, soffits, or recessed areas where cranes or forklifts alone cannot safely operate.

Steel Installation

Steel beams and structural components often require positioning in confined structural spaces. The counterbalanced design of the overhang beam allows steel elements to be lifted and installed beneath overhead obstructions without compromising stability.

Stair Installation

Prefabricated staircases and stair components can be difficult to manoeuvre through tight access points or beneath structural overhangs. Overhang beams provide the reach and control required to safely place these heavy elements with minimal manual handling.

Stone and Architectural Materials

Heavy stone panels and architectural elements demand careful handling to avoid damage. The precise load balancing and controlled lifting offered by overhang beams makes them ideal for installing delicate yet heavy materials beneath building projections.

Precision, Safety and Efficiency

For contractors working in complex installation environments, Overhang Beams provide a combination of reach, control, and safety that traditional lifting equipment cannot match.

Key benefits include:

• Remote-controlled counterbalance operation
• Adjustable counterweight system for precise load balancing
• Integrated anti-tilt safety protection
• Fully electric, battery-powered operation
• Optional extension models for deeper overhang reach
• Integrated vacuum lifting models for glass handling
• Models with corner lifting capability for angled installations
