Modulift Spreader Beams provide the perfect solution to lift containers.

Modulift Spreader Beams, with their modular design providing a versatile and cost effective lifting solution, can be used in a variety of configurations. Shown in the images, these include a typical ‘1 over 2’, and a single spreader beam with either top or bottom container lifting points.

It is important to note that the lifting configurations are dependent on the various lift parameters, such as having a restricted headroom, or the requirement to have vertical bottom slings, or angled bottom slings.  If you’re in any doubt of the best configuration, then our team of in-house engineers are here to help offer you the right solution for your container lift.
