Spreader Frames, Lifting Frames & Multi-Point Lifts
Spreader Frames and Lifting Frames are recommended for loads that have more than two lifting points; they can also be the ideal lifting equipment for when headroom is limited. Modulift offer several types of Spreader Frames and Lifting Frames for Multi-Point Lifts; please see below for further details of our Spreader Frames and Lifting Frames:
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.
Tri-MOD
The Tri-MOD is a triangular frame once again utilizing the struts from the Modular Spreader Beam range. The Tri-MOD is popular for many 3-point lift requirements including circular lifts!
Cascaded Spreader Beams
When no height restrictions apply a standard solution is to use several Spreader Beams in a Cascading Rig. For example, a ‘1 over 2 over 4’ Spreader Beam Rig to achieve a 8-Point lift consists of 7 Spreader Beams: 1 at the top and 2 underneath and 4 underneath that, connected by Slings and Shackles.
