Load Monitoring Spreader Beam
Modulift has produced the WORLD’S FIRST load monitoring Spreader Beam, with an integrated loadcell (Active Link) giving you instant wireless data logging!
The innovative Active Link provides wireless real time data by measuring the load at either end of the spreader beam. It is capable of both weighing and dynamic load monitoring. Data is transmitted wirelessly to a USB transceiver that must be connected to a Windows computer or tablet with a spare USB port.
Main Benefits Are:
Reduce your rigging and the weight
Simplified, integrated load equalisation capability
Can be purchased separately for existing valued customers
No more overloading shackles and slings
Saves you time and money on rigging
The Active Link, which replaces the standard drop link component, presents a host of benefits with time and cost.
Existing valued customers can purchase the drop link separately, saving weight which all attributable to the fact that measurement technology doesn’t have to be sourced as an additional rigging tool. Another standout feature is that the height of rigging is significantly reduced, benefitting low headroom applications.
The Active Link is available in a range of capacities up to 100t based on standard Modulift beam sizes from MOD 12 to MOD 70H; the initial range will be AL 12, AL 24, AL 34, AL 50, AL 70 and AL 70H.
Load Monitoring Spreader Beams FAQs
A Load Monitoring Spreader Beam combines the functionality of a traditional spreader beam with integrated load cells. This allows users to monitor the weight being lifted in real-time, helping to improve safety, accuracy, and control during lifting operations.
The system uses precision-engineered load cells embedded within the beam’s end units. These load cells capture data and transmit it wirelessly to a handheld display or compatible system, enabling live monitoring of load weight and distribution.
Key benefits include enhanced safety through real-time load awareness, better control of lifting operations, data logging for traceability, and the elimination of separate shackles or additional load monitoring equipment.
Modulift’s Load Monitoring Spreader Beam currently supports capacities up to 150 tonnes, and is designed to suit a range of lifting projects, particularly where load verification is critical.
The standard Load Monitoring Spreader Beam is intended for onshore and topside use. However, we can offer custom solutions and protective modifications for offshore or subsea environments—please contact our team to discuss your specific needs.
Yes. The Load Monitoring Spreader Beam is designed to be compatible with standard lifting slings, shackles, and rigging setups, making integration into your existing equipment straightforward.
It provides real-time data on the individual loads at each end of the beam, the total weight lifted, and the load balance. This data is displayed clearly on the wireless handheld device and can be logged for reporting purposes.
Yes. The plug-and-play design ensures quick and simple setup. The wireless display is user-friendly and comes with clear instructions, making it ideal for both experienced riggers and first-time users.
Our Load Monitoring Spreader Beams are manufactured to the highest safety and quality standards. They can be supplied with full calibration certificates and compliance documentation to meet industry requirements.
