MODULAR
SPREADER
BEAMS
DNV Type approved modular spreader beams engineered for controlled lifting operations, with capacities from 13 tonnes to 250 tonnes and spans available up to 22 metres.
What Is A Modular Spreader Beam?
A modular spreader beam is a reconfigurable lifting system assembled from interchangeable components, allowing a single beam system to create multiple certified lifting configurations.
Unlike traditional fixed-length spreader beams, the Multisec Modular Spreader Beam System uses interchangeable struts and end units that can be assembled into different spans and capacities.
This modular approach allows lifting teams to cover a wide range of lifting requirements using a single system, reducing equipment inventory, transport costs and storage requirements.
Designed for offshore, marine, renewable energy and heavy engineering projects, the range provides capacities from 13 tonnes to 250 tonnes and spans up to 22 metres.
The result is a versatile lifting solution that combines flexibility, efficiency and certified performance across hundreds of possible beam configurations.

Modular Spreader Beam FAQs
Answers to common questions about capacities, spans, certification, load charts and modular spreader beam configurations.
What is a Modular Spreader Beam?
A Modular Spreader Beam is a reconfigurable lifting beam system constructed from interchangeable end units and strut sections. By combining certified modular components, lifting teams can create multiple beam lengths and lifting configurations from a single system, reducing the need for multiple fixed-length spreader beams.
What capacities are available?
The Multisec Modular Spreader Beam range is available in capacities from 13 tonnes to 250 tonnes, including the Multi-13, Multi-25, Multi-50, Multi-75, Multi-110, Multi-170 and Multi-250 models.
What span configurations are available?
Depending on the model selected, certified span configurations are available up to 22 metres. Modular strut sections allow beam lengths to be adjusted to suit specific lifting requirements while remaining within approved load chart parameters.
Are Multisec Modular Spreader Beams DNV Type Approved?
Yes. The Multisec Modular Spreader Beam range is DNV Type Approved in accordance with DNV-ST-0378, providing independent third-party verification for offshore and heavy lifting applications.
What is the difference between a Modular Spreader Beam and a fixed spreader beam?
A fixed spreader beam is manufactured to a specific length and configuration, whereas a Modular Spreader Beam can be reconfigured using interchangeable components. This allows a single system to cover multiple lifting arrangements while reducing equipment inventory and improving operational flexibility.
What industries use Modular Spreader Beams?
Modular Spreader Beams are widely used across offshore wind, marine, ports, energy, civil engineering, infrastructure, fabrication and heavy industrial sectors where safe and controlled load distribution is required.
Are certified load charts supplied?
Yes. Every Multisec Modular Spreader Beam system is supplied with certified load charts and configuration data detailing approved capacities, spans and lifting arrangements.
Can Modular Spreader Beams be configured on site?
Yes. The modular design allows beam lengths and configurations to be adjusted using certified components, enabling lifting teams to adapt to changing project requirements while maintaining compliance with approved load data.
What standards are Multisec Modular Spreader Beams designed to?
Multisec Modular Spreader Beams are designed in accordance with recognised lifting equipment standards including DNV-ST-0378 for offshore lifting applications. Systems are manufactured under BS EN 1090 execution requirements and supplied with appropriate certification.
What is the maximum span available?
The largest standard Multisec Modular Spreader Beam configuration provides certified spans up to 22 metres, depending on model selection and lifting arrangement.
What is the maximum capacity available?
The largest standard model within the Multisec Modular Spreader Beam range offers a Working Load Limit of 250 tonnes, providing a solution for demanding heavy-lift applications.
Can bespoke Modular Spreader Beam configurations be supplied?
Yes. In addition to the standard range, Multisec can provide bespoke lifting solutions, custom lifting arrangements and project-specific configurations to meet unique lifting requirements.
How are Modular Spreader Beams transported and stored?
One of the main advantages of a modular system is reduced transport and storage requirements. Individual components can be transported separately and assembled on site, reducing logistics costs compared with large fixed-length spreader beams.
How are Modular Spreader Beams inspected and maintained?
Like all lifting equipment, Modular Spreader Beams should be subject to regular inspection and maintenance in accordance with local regulations and company procedures. Components should be checked for damage, deformation, wear and corrosion before use.
Why choose Multisec Modular Spreader Beams?
Multisec combines DNV Type Approval, UK manufacturing, certified load data, global project experience and a capacity range from 13 tonnes to 250 tonnes. The modular design provides flexibility, reduces equipment inventory and delivers proven performance across demanding lifting applications worldwide.
