MULTI-POINT
LIFTING BEAMS
Engineered Multi-Point and Multi-Lug Lifting Beams designed to distribute load across multiple lifting points, providing control, stability and flexibility for complex lifting operations.
What Is A Multi-Point Lifting Beam?
A Multi-Point Lifting Beam is a reconfigurable below-the-hook lifting system designed to support loads from multiple lower lifting points.
Also known as a Multi-Lug Beam, the system uses multiple lifting lugs along the beam to distribute load, improve stability and provide greater control during complex or uneven lifts.
Depending on the lift, the beam can be arranged as a Centre Point Lift, Spreader Beam Setup or Semi-Spreader Beam Setup, making it suitable for both compact vertical lifts and larger multi-point lifting operations.
With capacities up to 300 tonnes and spans up to 12 metres, the Multisec Multi-Point Lifting Beam range is engineered for offshore, structural, marine and heavy engineering applications.
Multi-Point Lifting Beam Range
Available from 13 tonnes to 300 tonnes, the Multisec Multi-Point Lifting Beam range provides configurable lifting solutions for offshore, structural, marine and heavy engineering projects.

Choose The Lift.
For the modular MP-13 to MP-50 range, the Multi-Point Lifting Beam system works in two stages. First, 3m and 6m beam sections are assembled to create the required span. The completed beam can then be rigged as a Centre Point Lift, Semi-Spreader Arrangement or Spreader Arrangement depending on the lifting application.
Build The Required Span
3m Section
6m SectionMP-13, MP-25, MP-34 and MP-50 models are built using interchangeable 3m and 6m beam sections. These sections can be combined to create 3m, 6m, 9m and 12m beam arrangements from the same core system.
3m + 6m Assembly
Combines a 3m and 6m section to create a 9 metre beam arrangement, providing additional span and greater flexibility for larger lifting operations.
3m + 6m + 3m Assembly
Creates the maximum standard 12 metre span by combining a 6m centre section with 3m beam sections at each end.
MP-100 & MP-300
While MP-13 to MP-50 models use modular 3m and 6m beam sections, the MP-100 and MP-300 are purpose-designed heavy-lift Multi-Point Beams developed for higher-capacity lifting operations.
11.5m Configuration
Available in 6m and 11.5m configurations, providing capacities up to 100 tonnes for demanding multi-point lifting operations.
10m Configuration
Purpose-designed heavy-lift beam with a Working Load Limit of 300 tonnes and a fixed 10 metre span.
Select The Lifting Configuration
Centre Point Lift
Uses a single upper lifting point and multiple lower lifting lugs. Ideal for straight vertical lifts where headroom or rigging space is limited.
Semi-Spreader Arrangement
A flexible low-headroom arrangement that allows loads to be lifted from opposing ends or multiple points along the beam.
Spreader Arrangement
Uses angled top slings connected to top lifting points, making it suitable for standard two-point lifting applications and wider load spans.

Multi-Point Lifting Beam FAQs
Answers to common questions about Multi-Point and Multi-Lug Lifting Beams, including capacities, spans, configurations, applications and technical selection.
What is a Multi-Point Lifting Beam?
A Multi-Point Lifting Beam is a below-the-hook lifting device designed to lift a load from multiple lower pick points. Instead of relying on one or two lower lifting points, the beam distributes the load across several lifting lugs, helping improve stability and control during complex lifting operations.
What is a Multi-Lug Beam?
A Multi-Lug Beam is another name for a Multi-Point Lifting Beam. The term refers to the multiple lifting lugs positioned along the beam, allowing loads to be lifted from three or more lower pick points simultaneously.
What is the difference between a standard lifting beam and a Multi-Point Lifting Beam?
A standard lifting beam is usually designed around one or two lower lifting points. A Multi-Point Lifting Beam has multiple lower lifting lugs, allowing the load to be supported from several positions. This is useful for uneven loads, fabricated structures and lifting applications where load distribution is critical.
What capacities are available?
The Multisec Multi-Point Lifting Beam range includes models from MP-13 through to MP-300, with Working Load Limits from 13 tonnes up to 300 tonnes.
What spans are available?
The modular MP-13 to MP-50 range can be configured in 3m, 6m, 9m and 12m arrangements using 3m and 6m beam sections. The MP-100 is available in 6m and 11.5m configurations, while the MP-300 is available as a 10m heavy-lift beam.
Which models use modular 3m and 6m beam sections?
The MP-13, MP-25, MP-34 and MP-50 models use modular 3m and 6m beam sections. These sections can be combined to create different span arrangements, including 3m, 6m, 9m and 12m configurations.
How are MP-100 and MP-300 different?
MP-100 and MP-300 are higher-capacity Multi-Point Beams developed for heavier lifting requirements. The MP-100 is available in 6m and 11.5m configurations, while the MP-300 is a 300 tonne heavy-lift beam with a 10m span.
What lifting configurations are available?
Multisec Multi-Point Lifting Beams can be used in Centre Point, Semi-Spreader and Spreader arrangements, depending on the model, capacity, span and lifting application.
What is a Centre Point Lift?
A Centre Point Lift uses a single upper lifting point with multiple lower lifting lugs. This arrangement is often used for straight vertical lifts where available headroom or rigging space is limited.
What is a Semi-Spreader Arrangement?
A Semi-Spreader Arrangement is a flexible low-headroom lifting setup that allows loads to be lifted from opposing ends or from multiple points along the beam. It can provide greater control where a full spreader arrangement is not required.
What is a Spreader Arrangement?
A Spreader Arrangement uses angled top slings connected to top lifting points. This helps support wider load spans and is commonly used for standard two-point lifting applications.
Why use multiple lower lifting points?
Multiple lower lifting points help distribute forces more evenly across the load. This can improve stability, reduce localised stress and provide better control when lifting large, uneven or fabricated structures.
Are there sling angle limits for MP-100 and MP-300?
Yes. For MP-100 and MP-300 Spreader and Semi-Spreader configurations, header slings must not exceed 30° STV. The relevant load charts and technical documentation should always be checked before selecting a configuration.
What industries use Multi-Point Lifting Beams?
Multi-Point Lifting Beams are used across offshore energy, renewables, marine projects, structural steelwork, heavy engineering, fabrication, infrastructure and specialist lifting operations.
Are Multi-Point Lifting Beams suitable for offshore lifting?
Yes. Multi-Point and Multi-Lug Beams are commonly used in offshore and marine lifting applications where controlled load distribution, multiple pick points and engineered lifting arrangements are required.
Can Multisec provide bespoke Multi-Point Lifting Beams?
Yes. Where standard models or configurations are not suitable, Multisec can review bespoke requirements including capacity, span, lifting point locations, rigging arrangement and project-specific design requirements.
How do I select the correct Multi-Point Lifting Beam?
Selection depends on load weight, span, lifting configuration, lower pick point positions, headroom, rigging arrangement and project requirements. The Multisec engineering team can review your lift details and recommend the most suitable beam configuration.
