UK-designed and manufactured DNV Type Approved modular spreader beams, with models from 13 to 250 tonnes and approved spans up to 22 metres, depending on the selected model and configuration.
Modular Spreader Beams Designed & Manufactured In The UK
A modular spreader beam is a reconfigurable lifting system assembled from compatible components, allowing one beam system to create multiple approved lifting configurations.
Multisec designs and manufactures the Multi range in Middlesbrough, UK. Interchangeable struts and end units allow the selected system to be assembled at different approved spans, helping lifting teams adapt the equipment to changing project requirements.
Compared with maintaining multiple fixed-length spreader beams, a modular system can reduce equipment inventory, transport and storage requirements while retaining clear model-specific capacity data.
The standard Multi-13 to Multi-250 range is DNV Type Approved to DNV-ST-0378 and is used across offshore, marine, renewable energy, infrastructure and heavy engineering projects.

Modular Spreader
Beam Range
From compact 13 tonne systems to 250 tonne heavy-lift models, the Multisec modular spreader beam range provides approved configurations across a wide span range. Select a model to view its maximum published WLL and span limits.
Selection note: Maximum WLL and maximum span are model limits and may not apply simultaneously. Final capacity depends on the approved configuration, span and lifting geometry. Use the individual model data or speak to the Multisec team for project selection.
Why Choose Multisec Modular Spreader Beams?
From compact fabrication lifts to major infrastructure and offshore wind projects, Multisec modular systems provide a configurable alternative to maintaining multiple fixed-length spreader beams.

Modular Spreader Beam FAQs
Answers to common questions about Multisec modular spreader beams, capacities, spans, DNV Type Approval, selection and project enquiries.
Who manufactures modular spreader beams in the UK?
Multisec designs and manufactures the Multi modular spreader beam range in Middlesbrough, UK. The standard range covers Multi-13 through to Multi-250, with project support available for model and configuration selection.
Where can I buy a modular spreader beam in the UK?
Multisec supplies modular spreader beam systems directly for purchase. Send the required load, span, lifting arrangement and any available lift drawings through the quote form and the team can review the appropriate model and configuration.
What is a Modular Spreader Beam?
A modular spreader beam is a reconfigurable lifting beam system constructed from compatible end units and strut sections. Approved components can be assembled into different beam lengths and lifting configurations within the published data for the selected model.
What capacities are available?
The Multisec Modular Spreader Beam range includes models from 13 tonnes to 250 tonnes: Multi-13, Multi-25, Multi-50, Multi-75, Multi-110, Multi-170 and Multi-250.
What span configurations are available?
Approved span configurations vary by model, with the largest standard system offering spans up to 22 metres. Final selection must use the published capacity data for the selected model, span and lifting geometry.
Are Multisec Modular Spreader Beams DNV Type Approved?
Yes. The standard Multi-13 to Multi-250 Modular Spreader Beam range holds DNV Type Approval to DNV-ST-0378. See our certifications and compliance page for more information.
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 compatible components within its approved configuration data. This can reduce the number of separate fixed-length beams needed across changing projects.
What industries use Modular Spreader Beams?
Modular spreader beams are used across offshore wind, marine, ports, energy, civil engineering, infrastructure, fabrication and heavy industrial projects where controlled load distribution is required.
Are load charts supplied?
Multisec modular spreader beam systems are supplied with the applicable load and configuration information for the selected equipment. Always use the data issued for the specific model and configuration being assembled.
Can Modular Spreader Beams be configured on site?
The modular design allows approved beam configurations to be assembled from compatible components. Assembly and use must follow the applicable Multisec instructions and published configuration data for the selected model.
What standards are Multisec Modular Spreader Beams designed to?
The standard modular spreader beam range holds DNV Type Approval to DNV-ST-0378. Multisec also operates recognised quality and fabrication controls, with project documentation supplied as applicable to the equipment and lift.
What is the maximum span available?
The largest standard model provides approved configurations with spans up to 22 metres. The available capacity at a given span depends on the model and lifting geometry, so maximum WLL and maximum span should not be treated as one combined configuration.
What is the maximum capacity available?
The largest standard model in the range is the Multi-250. Its available Working Load Limit depends on the selected span and approved lifting configuration.
Can bespoke lifting arrangements be supplied?
Yes. Where a standard modular spreader beam does not suit the required load, geometry, lifting points or project constraints, Multisec can review a bespoke lifting solution.
How are Modular Spreader Beams transported and stored?
A modular system can be broken down into individual components for transport and storage, helping reduce logistics and storage requirements compared with a large fixed-length beam.
How are Modular Spreader Beams inspected and maintained?
Like all lifting equipment, modular spreader beam components require appropriate inspection and maintenance. Components should be checked for damage, deformation, wear and corrosion and used in accordance with the applicable inspection requirements and Multisec guidance.
Why choose Multisec Modular Spreader Beams?
Multisec combines UK design and manufacture, DNV Type Approval across the standard Multi range, model-specific load data and project support from compact systems through to high-capacity heavy-lift applications.
