MP-13 Multi-Point Lifting Beams
13 Tonne Modular Multi-Point (Multi-Lug) Lifting System
- IN STOCK & Ready to ship worldwide
The MultiSec MP-13 is a 13 tonne modular multi-point lifting beam, commonly referred to in the industry as a multi-lug lifting beam due to its multiple lower lifting attachment points. Designed for flexible rigging configurations, the MP-13 allows loads to be lifted from multiple positions along the beam, providing controlled load distribution and enhanced stability across a range of lifting applications.
With modular 3m and 6m beam sections and multiple lug positions, the MP-13 offers a safe and reconfigurable solution for centre point, spreader, and semi-spreader lifting arrangements.

MP-13 Lifting Configurations
One of the primary advantages of the MP-13 13 tonne lifting beam is its ability to be reconfigured depending on the lifting requirement.
Centre Point Lift Configuration
In centre point configuration, the MP-13 is used as either a 3m or 6m beam and lifted from a single central top lifting point.
This configuration is ideal for:
Compact vertical lifts
Restricted headroom environments
Workshop or fabrication lifts
Symmetrical load handling
Multiple lower lifting lugs allow for even load distribution across the beam.
The MP-13 maintains its 13 tonne WLL in centre point configuration within approved span parameters.
Spreader Beam Configuration
In spreader configuration, angled top slings connect to designated top lifting points to match the required bottom span.
Available span arrangements include:
3m
6m
3m + 6m (up to 9m span)
3m + 6m + 3m (up to 12m span)
This configuration is suited to:
Two-point structural lifts
Modular assemblies
Skid frames
Fabricated steel components
The spreader configuration improves load stability and reduces bending stress compared to simple lifting beam arrangements.
For spreader and semi-spreader configurations, header sling angles must not exceed 30° STV.
Semi-Spreader Configuration
The semi-spreader configuration provides enhanced flexibility where lifting geometry or space constraints prevent a traditional spreader arrangement.
In this setup:
Angled top slings connect to offset lifting points
Loads can be lifted from opposing ends or multiple positions
Headroom can be optimised in restricted environments
This makes the MP-13 particularly effective for asymmetrical loads or complex rigging arrangements.

The tables below show the MP-13 working load limits (WLL) by configuration and span.
For Spreader & Semi-Spreader configurations, header slings must not exceed 30° STV
