ADJUSTABLE
LIFTING
FRAMES
Adjustable Lifting Frames for modular buildings, bathroom pods, ISO modules and prefabricated structures. Designed to accommodate varying lifting points, module footprints and load geometries, these configurable lifting frames provide a flexible solution for controlled and repeatable lifting operations across modular construction and offsite manufacturing projects.
Flexible Lifting For
Modular Buildings,
Bathroom Pods & ISO Modules
Multisec Adjustable Lifting Frames provide a configurable lifting solution for modular construction, offsite manufacturing and prefabricated units where lifting points, module footprints and load geometries vary between lifts.
Unlike fixed lifting frames designed around a single load configuration, Adjustable Lifting Frames allow the lifting arrangement to be adapted to suit different module layouts, lifting interfaces and structural pick-up points. This flexibility can reduce the requirement for multiple dedicated lifting frames across a project while maintaining a consistent lifting approach.
Commonly used for modular buildings, bathroom pods, ISO-format modules, plant rooms and prefabricated assemblies, the adjustable geometry enables lifting points to be repositioned to match the load whilst supporting controlled load distribution throughout the lift.
Each frame is engineered around the specific load, lifting method and project requirements. Designs can be configured to accommodate a wide range of module sizes, lifting geometries and capacities, ensuring the lifting arrangement is matched to the application.
Where Adjustable
Lifting Frames
Are Used
Adjustable Lifting Frames are commonly used across modular construction, offsite manufacturing and infrastructure projects where load footprints, lifting points and unit layouts vary between lifts.
Modular Buildings
Used for volumetric modular construction where building units differ in size, layout or lifting interface across a project. Adjustable lifting geometry allows the same frame system to be configured for multiple module designs, supporting efficient and repeatable lifting operations.
- Suitable for varying module footprints
- Reduced need for multiple dedicated lifting frames
- Consistent lifting approach across production and installation
Bathroom Pods
Well suited to finished bathroom pods where controlled lifting is essential to protect internal fixtures, fittings, tiles and surface finishes. Balanced load distribution helps minimise the risk of damage during handling and installation.
- Balanced lifting to minimise localised stresses
- Improved protection of fixtures and finishes
- Suitable for repeated pod installation programmes
ISO Modules (20ft–40ft)
Commonly configured for ISO-format modules where lifting point locations or connection interfaces vary between units but a consistent lifting solution is required throughout the project.
- Suitable for ISO modules typically ranging from 20ft to 40ft
- Adjustable geometry to suit different module layouts
- Efficient lifting across multiple ISO-format units
Plant Rooms & Equipment Skids
Applicable to plant rooms, equipment skids and prefabricated assemblies with non-uniform footprints or changing lifting requirements. Adjustable lifting points can be configured to suit complex load geometries.
- Configurable lifting points for complex geometries
- Adaptable solution for evolving project requirements
- Suitable for large prefabricated assemblies
Built Around
The Lift
Multisec Adjustable Lifting Frames are bespoke engineered lifting solutions, not fixed catalogue products. Each frame is configured around the load geometry, lifting points, module footprint and intended lifting method.
Project-Specific
Specification
Final dimensions, Working Load Limit, lifting point arrangements and connection details are confirmed during the engineering and quotation stage to ensure the lifting frame is suitable for the required lift.

Adjustable Lifting Frame FAQs
Answers to common questions about Adjustable Lifting Frames, modular building lifting, bathroom pod lifting, ISO modules, bespoke configurations and project requirements.
What is an Adjustable Lifting Frame?
An Adjustable Lifting Frame is a configurable lifting device designed to lift modular buildings, bathroom pods, ISO modules and prefabricated units with varying footprints. The lifting geometry can be adjusted to suit the load, helping achieve stable lifting across different module sizes.
What types of loads are these frames used for?
Adjustable Lifting Frames are commonly used for modular buildings, bathroom pods, ISO-format modules, plant rooms, equipment skids and large prefabricated assemblies where lifting points, load geometry or unit dimensions vary between lifts.
Are Adjustable Lifting Frames suitable for modular buildings?
Yes. Adjustable Lifting Frames are well suited to volumetric modular buildings where unit footprints, lifting points or structural layouts vary across a project. The adjustable geometry allows the lifting arrangement to be configured to suit different module designs.
Can Adjustable Lifting Frames be used for bathroom pod installation?
Yes. Adjustable Lifting Frames are frequently used for lifting and installing bathroom pods. The controlled lifting arrangement helps distribute loads evenly and can assist in protecting internal fixtures, fittings, tiles and finished surfaces during handling and installation.
Can one frame be used for multiple module sizes?
Yes. Adjustable lifting geometry allows one frame to be configured for different module sizes, layouts and lifting point arrangements, helping reduce the need for multiple dedicated fixed lifting frames across a project.
What are the advantages of an Adjustable Lifting Frame compared to a fixed lifting frame?
Fixed lifting frames are usually designed around a single load configuration. Adjustable Lifting Frames allow lifting points and frame geometry to be repositioned, making them suitable for projects involving multiple module sizes, varying lifting interfaces or changing project requirements.
How do Adjustable Lifting Frames help protect finished units like bathroom pods?
By supporting balanced load distribution, Adjustable Lifting Frames can help reduce localised stresses during lifting. This is particularly useful for finished bathroom pods where tiles, fixtures, fittings and surface finishes need to be protected during handling and installation.
How are lifting points adjusted?
The frame is engineered so lifting point positions and frame geometry can be configured to suit the structural pick-up points of the load. The final arrangement is confirmed during the engineering and quotation stage.
What information do you need to quote an Adjustable Lifting Frame?
Useful information includes the type of load, estimated weight, dimensions, lifting point locations, centre of gravity if known, installation method, site constraints and any drawings or project specifications available.
Are Adjustable Lifting Frames suitable for ISO modules?
Yes. Adjustable Lifting Frames are commonly configured for ISO-format modules, including units typically ranging from 20ft to 40ft, where lifting point locations or connection interfaces vary between units but a consistent lifting solution is required.
Are Adjustable Lifting Frames custom engineered?
Yes. Multisec Adjustable Lifting Frames are bespoke engineered lifting solutions designed around the specific load, lifting points, lifting methodology and project requirements. Final dimensions, configuration and Working Load Limit are established during the engineering and quotation stage.
Do you supply certification and documentation?
Yes. Adjustable Lifting Frames are supplied with certification and supporting technical documentation relevant to the lifting equipment and project requirements.
Can Adjustable Lifting Frames be supplied with lifting accessories?
Yes. Adjustable Lifting Frames can be supplied as part of a complete lifting solution including slings, shackles and other lifting accessories where required. Our engineers can advise on the most suitable lifting arrangement.
Can you advise if we’re unsure about lifting points or the best lifting arrangement?
Yes. Our engineering team can review your load details, drawings, lifting point information and project requirements to advise on a suitable Adjustable Lifting Frame configuration and lifting arrangement.
