Common Questions

Spreader beam FAQs.

What is a spreader beam?

A spreader beam is a below-the-hook lifting device used to distribute the load of a heavy lift across multiple lifting points. It works in compression, with top slings transferring load into the beam and bottom slings carrying the load.

What is the difference between a spreader beam and a lifting beam?

A spreader beam is loaded in compression via angled top slings and is best for wide loads with multiple lifting points. A lifting beam is loaded in bending from a single central top connection and is better suited to restricted headroom. Read the full comparison guide →

What tonnage spreader beams do you supply?

Our modular spreader beam range covers 13 tonnes to 250 tonnes. For higher capacities, our bespoke engineering team has designed and DNV-certified spreader beams up to 2,000 tonnes WLL.

Are Multisec spreader beams DNV Type Approved?

Yes. All modular spreader beams in the Multisec range carry DNV Type Approval to DNV-ST-0378. Bespoke spreader beams can also be DNV certified to project requirements.

Do you supply spreader beams for hire as well as sale?

Yes. Multisec spreader beams are available for both hire and outright purchase. Contact our team to check availability and lead times for your project.

Can spreader beams be used internationally?

Yes. Multisec supply spreader beams globally, including to Europe, the USA, Middle East and Asia.
