Multisec Modular Spreader Beam Buyer’s Guide
Discover the Ultimate Lifting Solution
What Is a Modular Spreader Beam?
The modular spreader beams are a versatile lifting system designed to safely handle heavy and oversized loads by distributing the weight evenly across two lifting points. Unlike fixed beams, Multisec Modular Spreader Beams are built from interchangeable struts and end fittings that can be configured in multiple lengths and capacities to suit the specific requirements of each lift.
This modular approach allows a single system to adapt to countless lifting scenarios — from shipbuilding and offshore wind installations to heavy manufacturing and infrastructure projects.
Every Multisec system is engineered, tested, and certified in the UK to meet the highest global lifting standards. Designed with durability, safety, and flexibility in mind, our beams deliver performance that endures even in the toughest environments.
Key Benefits:
Interchangeable Components – Adjust span and capacity easily using standard struts and end units.
High Load Range – Standard systems available from 13 tonnes up to 250 tonnes WLL.
Reduced Costs – One modular kit replaces multiple fixed beams, saving time and storage space.
Full Traceability – Every component is uniquely identified, CE-marked, and proof load tested.
Why Choose a Multisec Modular Spreader Beam?
How the System Works
Each modular spreader beam consists of:
End Units – Connect the system to the top slings and load shackles.
Intermediate Struts – Bolted between the end units to set the required span.
Drop Links and Shackles – Transfer load safely from the beam to the lifting points.
By changing the combination of struts, you can create configurations for short, medium, or long spans — ideal for multi-project use.
Modular vs Fixed Spreader Beams
| Feature | Modular Spreader Beam | Fixed Spreader Beam |
|---|---|---|
| Span Flexibility | Adjustable via strut combinations | Fixed length |
| Transport & Storage | Compact and easily shipped | Bulky, single-use |
| Cost Efficiency | One system, many configurations | One beam per project |
| Maintenance | Replaceable parts | Full replacement needed |
