MP-50 Multi-Point Lifting Beam
50 Tonne Modular Multi-Point (Multi-Lug) Lifting System
The MP-50 is a heavy-duty multi-point lifting beam designed for higher-capacity lifting operations where increased working load limits and enhanced load control are required.
With a 50 tonne working load limit, it is suited to structural steel, large fabricated assemblies, and heavy engineering components where stability across multiple lifting points is essential.

Heavy-Duty Multi-Point Lifting
With a 50 tonne working load limit, the MP-50 is designed for heavier lifts where multiple lifting points are required to maintain control and stability.
Flexible Lifting Configurations
Can be configured in centre point, spreader, or semi-spreader arrangements to suit a wide range of rigging setups and lifting requirements.
Modular Beam Design
Manufactured using 3m and 6m sections, allowing flexible span configurations while maintaining structural integrity and performance.
How Multi-Point Lifting Works
The MP-50 is engineered for higher-capacity lifting scenarios, building on the modular flexibility of smaller beams while providing greater load capability.
By distributing load across multiple lifting points along the beam, forces are shared more evenly compared to single-point lifting arrangements.
This significantly improves stability and reduces localised stress, particularly when handling heavier, longer, or more complex loads.
The result is a safer, more controlled lift where load distribution and balance are critical.
Lifting Configurations
The MP-50 can be configured to suit a wide range of lifting scenarios, from compact single-beam lifts to extended multi-section arrangements for larger loads.
• Multiple lifting points improve control for heavier lifts
• Suitable for varied rigging geometries and lifting methods
• Modular sections allow span adjustment to suit the application
Centre Point Lift Configuration
In centre point configuration, the MP-50 is used as either a 3m or 6m beam and lifted from a single central top lifting point.
This configuration is commonly used for:
• Controlled vertical lifts
• Fabrication and installation environments
• Compact lifting setups
• Symmetrical load handling
The MP-50 maintains its 50 tonne working load limit in centre point configuration within approved span parameters.
Spreader Beam Configuration
Semi-spreader configuration combines characteristics of both centre point and spreader lifting.
This setup is used where headroom restrictions or rigging constraints require a more adaptable lifting arrangement while still benefiting from distributed load handling.
For semi-spreader configurations, header sling angles must not exceed 30° STV.
Semi-Spreader Configuration
Semi-spreader configuration combines characteristics of both centre point and spreader lifting.
This setup is used where headroom restrictions or rigging constraints require a more adaptable lifting arrangement while still benefiting from distributed load handling.
For semi-spreader configurations, header sling angles must not exceed 30° STV.
Capacity & Configuration Overview
The MP-50 provides increased lifting capacity while maintaining flexibility across different beam configurations and spans.
As span increases through modular beam combinations, working load limits reduce depending on configuration.
Single Beam (3m / 6m): up to 50 tonnes
Two Beam (3m + 6m / 9m span): up to 50 tonnes, reducing to 32 tonnes
Three Beam (3m + 6m + 3m / 12m span): up to 50 tonnes, reducing to 20 tonnes
This allows the MP-50 to support higher-capacity lifts at shorter spans while enabling controlled load distribution across longer beam configurations.
Span & Load Capability
The MP-50 can be assembled in multiple configurations depending on the required span and lifting arrangement.
Load capacity varies based on beam configuration, sling geometry, and the position of lifting points.
This enables lifting teams to adapt to heavier and more complex lifting scenarios while maintaining control and stability throughout the lift.
For spreader and semi-spreader configurations, header sling angles must not exceed 30° STV.
