FAQ: Sturdyhaul CBM180 Concrete Beam Mover Dolly / Trolley

How to single-handedly lift and move 15 concrete beams in less than 30 minutes

The Sturdyhaul CBM180 Concrete Beam Mover trolley is designed specifically to make lifting and moving concrete T-beams for block and beam floors safer and easier.

What is the most significant hazard when installing concrete T-beams for block and beam flooring?

Lifting and moving heavy concrete T-beams from the delivery point to their installation location poses a significant risk of personal injury. These T-beams can weigh up to 180kg, making them difficult and dangerous to manoeuvre manually.

How does the Sturdyhaul CBM180 Concrete Beam Mover dolly trolley address this hazard?

The CBM180 is specifically designed to easily lift and transport concrete T-beams weighing up to 180kg. Its clever design makes it a one-person operation, significantly reducing the risk of injury associated with manual handling.

Traditional beam dollies/trolleys have the beam on top and not secured, making the load inherently less controllable and more likely to fall off, even with a two-person operation.

In contrast, the CBM180 Concrete Beam Mover provides a safer, purpose-designed solution for single-handed operation by securing the load beneath its frame, maintaining a low centre of gravity, and ensuring safer controlled transportation.

It is designed to operate over a mixture of terrain, from smooth pathways to gravel, wet and muddy oversites, uneven hardcore, clay sub-bases and more.

What are the dimensions of the concrete T-beams the CBM180 can lift and move?

The CBM180 is designed to lift and move concrete T-beams up to the following dimensions:

  • Length: 4800mm
  • Width: 135mm
  • Height: 170mm

What are the benefits of using the CBM180 compared to traditional methods to lift and move concrete T-beams for block and beam floors?

Traditional methods often involve tools and equipment that are less effective and potentially less safe. The CBM180 offers a safer, easier, and more efficient way to lift and move heavy concrete T-beams, ultimately saving time and reducing the risk of back and other injuries.

How do I use the CBM180 to move a concrete T-beam?

The CBM180 safely lifts the concrete T-beam. Once secured, push or pull the handles to manoeuvre the beam to the desired location. Once in position, easily lower the beam and remove the CBM180. Please take a look at the Sturdyhaul CBM180 in action.

How does the CBM180 help me comply with CDM 2015?

Relying on manual carrying of T-beams when a mechanical aid like the CBM180 is available may be deemed a failure to reduce risk “so far as is reasonably practicable”. The CBM180 mechanises the most strenuous part of the job, the long-distance transit. This helps you comply with CDM 2015.

Where is the Sturdyhaul CBM180 manufactured?
