The Modulift Spreader is modular in length, and every spreader consists of 1 pair of End Units and
Drop Links, with intermediate struts that can be bolted into the assembly to achieve dierent spans.
Personnel using this system should be suitably trained, competent and have a clear
understanding of Safe Slinging procedures.
The use of Modulift equipment must be in accordance with the procedures laid down in
‘Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998’ (LOLER).
Never exceed stated WLL – Adhere to WLL in Table 2 for particular sling angle used.
