Additional Modulift Components
Modulift Step Down End Units and Cone Adapters
- Modulift step down end units and cone adaptors are ideal for longer spans where a larger spreader is required to enable the span to be achieved but the high capacity is not required.
- The cone adaptors fit the struts of the larger system and allow a smaller end unit to be fitted.
- The step down end units work on a very similar principal and are utilised for the same purpose but are a single unit and are used to reduce from MOD 110 down.
- Both the cone adaptors and the step down end units allow various systems to be utilised together, or allows the user to utilise existing spreaders, thus making the Modulift spreaders more versatile and eliminating the need to purchase or manufacture entire new spreaders.
Modulift Drop Links Are Unique!
Having the separate drop link means that any misalignment +/-6° of the bottom slings (i.e. if they are not vertical because the span of the spreader is longer or shorter than the distance between the lifting points on the load being lifted) will not induce bending into the Modulift Spreader, unlike the fixed end design. Therefore the Modulift Spreader design is like a ‘pin-ended strut’, and all the load transferred from the slings to the spreader is purely axial. This means that, like-for-like, our Spreaders are much lighter when comparing similar capacity beams.
Clevis and Delta Drop Links
Clevis drop link option enables the user to have two slings hung from each end of the beam for a variety of benefits. Call or email us for more information.
Clevis Drop Link & Delta Plate
When performing 4-point lifts with angled slings, multiple slings can bunch together in a single shackle. This crowding increases stress on the shackles and accelerates wear on the slings, creating a higher risk of damage and reducing the overall safety and efficiency of the lift.
The Clevis Drop Link is an innovative solution for eliminating bunching and crowding of multiple slings in shackles, making it a safe and practical choice for performing 4-point lifts with one Spreader Beam.
Delta Plates are used for various lifting and pulling applications. They can be used on their own for specific applications and in conjunction with the Clevis Drop Link.

Step Down End Units and Cone Adapters
Modulift step down end units and cone adaptors provide a practical solution for achieving longer spans without the need for full high-capacity spreaders. Cone adaptors allow smaller end units to be connected to larger strut systems, while step down end units perform the same function within a single component, reducing from MOD 110. Both options enable different Modulift systems to be combined or existing spreaders to be reused, increasing overall versatility and reducing the need for new equipment.
Watch the Seamless Integration video alongside to see how a standard spreader beam can be effortlessly combined with step down end units and cone adaptors in practice.
Drop Links
Modulift drop links are designed to accommodate slight sling misalignment of up to ±6°, preventing unwanted bending forces from being transferred into the spreader beam. Unlike fixed-end designs, this allows the load to remain aligned through the beam rather than forcing it to resist bending.
By ensuring forces are carried straight through the spreader, the design improves load distribution and enables a lighter beam to be used for the same lifting capacity, supporting safer and more efficient lifting operations.
