MP-100 Multi-Point Lifting Beam
100 Tonne Multi-Point Lifting Beam for Medium-to-Heavy Lifts
The MP-100 is a high-capacity multi-point lifting beam designed for heavy lifting operations where increased working load limits and simplified configurations are required.
With a 100 tonne working load limit, it is suited to large structural components, heavy fabrications, and engineering lifts where controlled load distribution across multiple lifting points is essential.

Multi-Lug Load Control
Multiple lifting lugs allow loads to be supported across several pick points, improving stability and reducing stress on the load.
Flexible Lifting Configurations
Can be configured as a centre point, spreader, or semi-spreader beam to suit different lifting scenarios.
Modular Beam Design
Built using 3m and 6m sections, enabling flexible span configurations while maintaining strength and performance.
How Multi-Point Lifting Works
The MP-100 is designed for high-capacity lifting where simplicity and reliability are critical.
By distributing load across multiple lifting points along the beam, forces are shared more evenly compared to single-point lifting arrangements.
This improves stability, reduces localised stress, and provides greater control when handling heavier or more complex loads.
The result is a safer and more efficient lifting operation, particularly where large components must be lifted with precision.
MP-100 Lifting Configurations
The MP-100 is configured as a single beam and can be used across different lifting setups depending on rigging requirements and site conditions.
- Multiple lifting points improve load stability and control
- Suitable for heavy lifts requiring consistent load distribution
- Available in different beam lengths to suit lifting requirement.
Centre Point Lift Configuration
In centre point configuration, the MP-100 is lifted from a single central top lifting point using a crane hook or master link.
This setup is typically used for:
• Controlled vertical lifts
• Heavy components with symmetrical load distribution
• Installation and fabrication operations
Multiple lower lifting lugs allow the load to be supported evenly across the beam.
The MP-100 maintains its full 100 tonne working load limit in centre point configuration when used within approved lifting parameters.
Spreader Beam Configuration
In spreader configuration, angled top slings connect to designated top lifting points, allowing the beam to match the required bottom span.
This enables loads to be lifted from two primary lifting points, improving stability and reducing bending forces compared to single-point lifting arrangements.
This configuration is commonly used for:
• Structural steel lifts
• Large fabricated assemblies
• Modular and engineered components
For spreader configurations, header sling angles must not exceed 30° STV.
Semi-Spreader Configuration
Semi-spreader configuration combines aspects of both centre point and spreader lifting.
This arrangement is used where headroom restrictions or rigging constraints require a more adaptable setup while still benefiting from distributed load handling.
For semi-spreader configurations, header sling angles must not exceed 30° STV.
Capacity & Configuration Overview
The MP-100 is designed for high-capacity lifting operations where consistent performance and simplified configuration are required.
Unlike smaller beams in the range, the MP-100 maintains its full working load limit across its available beam lengths, without the need for modular combinations.
Standard beam configurations include:
- 6 metre beam — up to 100 tonnes
- 11.5 metre beam — up to 100 tonnes
Both configurations maintain full capacity when used within approved lifting arrangements, providing flexibility in reach without reducing lifting capability.
This makes the MP-100 particularly suited to heavy lifting operations where maximum working load must be maintained while adapting to different lifting spans.
Span & Load Capability
The tables below show the MP-100 working load limits (WLL) across its available beam lengths and lifting configurations. Use these charts to determine allowable loads based on span, rigging arrangement, and load distribution. For Spreader & Semi-Spreader configurations, header slings must not exceed 30° STV.
