Highway Beam Launcher

Highway Beam Launcher has been widely used in highway and railway bridge projects to install T-beam, I-beam and box beams of 20m to 50m spans and 100t to 180t weight. The pre-cast beams are usually lifted and placed on the pier heads using cranes or other hoisting equipment from the ground below. However, for bridges crossing over water or viaducts with high piers and/or difficult ground conditions, a Beam Launcher is commonly used to lift the pre-cast beams in place. The pre-cast beams are delivered with a Beam Trolley on top of the completed deck to the rear of the Beam Launcher, and subsequently picked up by the Launcher for placing into the final position.
