Spreader Frames & Lifting Frames
CMOD® and TriMOD Spreader Frames
Spreader Frames and Lifting Frames are recommended for loads that have more than two lifting points; they can also be the ideal lifting equipment when headroom is limited. Modulift offer several types of Spreader Frames and Lifting Frames for Multi-Point Lifts.
Modulift’s CMOD® and TriMOD Spreader Frames are a convenient, cost-effective method to lift circular or multi-point loads.
They are incredibly versatile – if you already have MOD® struts, you can reuse these with the corner units to make a 3-point TriMOD or 4-point CMOD®. Combine with T-Pieces to make a 6- or 8-point CMOD® Spreader Frame.
TriMOD compatible with MOD 6 – MOD 110, span width from 0.5m – 18m, WLL from 9.7t – 165t
CMOD® 4, 6 and 8-point compatible with MOD 6 – 250, span width from 0.5m – 18m, WLL from 9.7t – 165t
Ideal for height restrictions, as the height of the rig will never be higher than a ‘1 over 2’ rig

CMOD Modular Spreader Frames
Our most economical option is the CMOD Modular Spreader Frame. Lighter and stronger with newly designed corner units giving a 40% weight saving, the CMOD is designed to expand the capabilities of our Modular Spreader Beam System - the Struts from the Spreader Beam are combined with 4 Corner Units to complete the Frame. Customers that already have Modulift Struts can re-use these with the Corner Units to achieve 4-Point lifts, making this a versatile solution.
This Spreader Frame is also designed for where there are height restrictions, as the height of the rig will be lower than a ‘1 over 2’ rig.
The CMOD Spreader Frame is currently available from the CMOD 6 up to the CMOD 250. The systems will lift up to 300t.
CMOD T-Pieces
Expanding on a very popular CMOD Spreader Frame, we have designed and manufactured a T-Piece conjunction to further develop the capabilities of the CMOD Spreader Frame. This fantastic connection allows the frame to become a 6 point or 8 point heavy lift.
Benefits
With more lifting points, there is more support for larger and heavier lifts
Reduces rigging time compared to a cascading spreader beam arrangement
Lower head room compared to a cascading spreader beam arrangement
6 Point Lift: The T-Piece CMOD Spreader Frame (6 Point) is modular in span, and every frame consists of 4 Corner Units and 2 T-Pieces, with intermediate struts that can be bolted into the assembly to achieve a range of spans.
8 point Lift: The T-Piece CMOD Spreader Frame (8 Point) is modular in span, and every frame consists of 4 Corner Units and 4 T-Pieces, with intermediate struts that can be bolted into the assembly to achieve a range of spans.
Spreader Frames in Action
Modulift’s spreader frames are used across the construction, oil & gas, breakbulk and wind sectors to solve lifting problems worldwide. Here are just some of the projects we have worked on. View all Case Studies.
Spreader Frame Configurations
The beauty of Modulift’s range is its adaptability to suit different lifting scenarios. A spreader frame is an economical lifting solution made up of a combination of struts and corner units. Used to lift heavy loads with more than 2 lifting points, a spreader frame reduces lost height and can be adapted to various sizes and configurations.
The TriMOD and CMOD® Spreader Frames are made from MOD® spreader beam struts, corner units and T-pieces, depending on the configuration required.
Why Choose a Spreader Frame from Modulift?
With more lifting points, there is more support for larger and heavier lifts. Heavy loads can be lifted and handled easily, eliminating the need for additional lifting equipment.
Compared to a cascading spreader bar arrangement, a spreader frame takes much less time to configure and set up. You and your operators have more time to spend elsewhere, allowing you to complete the project at hand more quickly.
Spreader frames have a lower headroom than a cascading spreader beam arrangement. This makes them ideal for workspaces with tight height restrictions.
Spreader Frame & Lifting Frame FAQs
Spreader frames are recommended for loads that have more than two lifting points; they can also be the ideal lifting equipment when headroom is limited. Modulift offer several types of spreader frames for multi-point lifts including the 4-, 6- or 8-point CMOD frame and the 3-point TrMOD spreader frame.
The Tri-MOD is a triangular frame which utilises the struts from the standard Modulift spreader beam range. The Tri-MOD is popular for many 3-point lift requirements including circular lifts.
The CMOD modular spreader frame. Allows for 4-, 6- and 8-point lifts. Lighter and stronger with newly designed corner units giving a 40% weight saving, the CMOD is designed to expand the capabilities of the modular Spreader Beam system - the struts from the spreader beam are combined with 4 corner units to complete the frame.
This spreader frame is also designed for where there are height restrictions, as the height of the rig will be lower than a ‘1 over 2’ rig.
The CMOD spreader frame is currently available from the CMOD 6 up to the CMOD 250. The systems will lift up to 300t.
Expanding on the very popular CMOD spreader frame, Modulift has designed and manufactured a T-Piece to further develop the capabilities of the CMOD spreader frame. This connection allows the frame to become a 6-point or 8-point spreader frame.
Spreader frames are designed to lift various load types requiring more than two lifting points. They’re incredibly versatile and can be adjusted to multiple configurations, making them ideal for a range of lifting applications.
Regulations within the UK and EU markets require a conformity certificate to confirm compliance with relevant legislation for all lifting equipment.
Under these same regulations, the equipment should display a physical CE marking and/or a UKCA marking including the following details:
- Manufacturer’s name and address
- CE and/or UKCA mark
- Series or type designation; serial number if applicable
- Year of construction
The CE mark is to demonstrate compliance with the EU Machinery Directive, and is required on any lifting equipment being sold to the EU market.
The UKCA mark is to demonstrate compliance with the UK Product Safety & Metrology Regulations, and is required on any lifting equipment being sold to the UK market.
