General comments for lifting rigs:
● Do not exceed the stated WLL of the Modulift
product at the required conguration (see UI)
● - Do not exceed the WLL of the specic
connection point on the product, consider the
position of the CoG of the load being lifted
● - Top sling STV for spreaders must not be greater
than 45 degrees / greater than the specied STV
– top sling length is crucial.

of the load is above its connection points – see
example opposite:
● Ensure that the rig is designed so that the CoG
of the item being lifted is directly below the
hook point, otherwise the rig will tilt and could
overload lifting equipment.

be lifted in the proposed method.
● - All equipment within the rig must be of a
suitable capacity.
● - The rig should be checked by a competent
