What is the MP-100 multi-point lifting beam used for?

The MP-100 is used for high-capacity lifting operations where loads need to be supported across multiple lifting points. It is commonly used for heavy structural components, large fabricated assemblies, and industrial lifting projects.

Does the MP-100 lose capacity as span increases?

No. The MP-100 maintains its full 100 tonne working load limit across both standard beam lengths when used within approved lifting configurations.

Can the MP-100 be used in different lifting configurations?

Yes. The MP-100 can be used in centre point, spreader, and semi-spreader configurations depending on the lifting requirements.

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. By distributing the load across several lifting lugs, the beam improves load distribution, stability and control during 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 and improving load distribution.

What capacities are available in the Multi-Point Lifting Beam range?

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 that can be combined to create 3m, 6m, 9m and 12m beam arrangements.

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 configured as Centre Point, Semi-Spreader and Spreader arrangements depending on the model, capacity 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 commonly used where headroom is limited or rigging simplicity is important.

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 multiple points along the beam.

What is a Spreader Arrangement?

A Spreader Arrangement uses angled top slings connected to top lifting points, helping support wider load spans and standard two-point lifting applications.

Why use multiple lower lifting points?

Multiple lower lifting points help distribute forces more evenly across the load, improving stability, reducing localised stress and providing greater control during lifting operations.

Are Multi-Point Lifting Beams suitable for offshore lifting?

Yes. Multi-Point and Multi-Lug Beams are commonly used in offshore, marine, renewable energy and heavy engineering lifting applications where controlled load distribution and multiple pick points are required.

Can Multisec provide bespoke Multi-Point Lifting Beams?

Yes. Multisec can provide bespoke lifting beam solutions where standard configurations are not suitable, including custom capacities, spans, lifting point arrangements and project-specific requirements.

How do I select the correct Multi-Point Lifting Beam?

Beam selection depends on load weight, span, lifting configuration, pick point locations, headroom and rigging requirements. The Multisec engineering team can review your lifting requirements and recommend the most suitable solution.
