CMOD 50
Spreader Frame
• Do not under any circumstances hang load(s)
from the tube or flanges - the Spreader Frame is
designed for compression - not bending
• Ensure that the top Shackle contacts the bow of the
corner plate 'bow-to-bow'
• The CMOD system is designed in accordance with
BS EN13155: Cranes, Safety, Non-fixed Load Lifting
Attachments
• Max number of Struts allowed in assembly: 5
per side
• Assemble longer Struts in the centre of the
configuration
• Sling angle is crucial to safe use of frame
DO's & DON'TS
• Do ensure that the frame is only loaded at the
Corner Units and they are all equally loaded
• Do ensure enough clearance between frame and
the load to prevent the load hitting the frame. Any
collision could cause failure of the frame
• Do not undertake a lift without the correct use of
appropriate top slings
• Do not hang any loads from the Strut tube or
flanges
• Do not exceed the stated SWL for your span
• Do not rig the lower slings more than 6° from
vertical
The top sling must be positioned centrally
in the Shackle pin to ensure even loading.
Contact your Modulift supplier for supply of
loose spacers where required
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
1. Check the ID plates on each Modulift component to ensure
the correct size is used.
2. Lay out the Struts and Corner Units in the correct
configuration
3. Check that all flanges are clear from debris, sand etc.
before connection
4. Bolt the components together* using bolts, nuts & washers
provided. Tighten the bolts to torque as shown overleaf
5. Loop the top Shackles through the bows of the Corner Units
so they contact 'bow-to-bow'. The eye of the top slings can
then be passed through the jaws of the Shackles and the
pins replaced
6. Loop the bottom Shackles through the eyes of the drop
slings and connect to the bottom of the Corner Unit with the
Shackle pin
7. Attach the lower slings to the load to be lifted
8. The assembled Spreader Frame and lifting rig must be
thoroughly checked by a competent person prior to lifting
*The use of a Podger Spanner will aid in assembly through helping to align the bolt holes by forcing it through

First pick the span required for your frame (e.g. 2m x 5m) and the Sling
Angle (we recommend 30° STV where possible), then check the SWL via the
appropriate table. Read the table by locating the lower span on the y axis
of the chart and the larger on the x. The cell which you are referred to, will
indicate the SWL for your chosen span. If your exact span is not noted in
the table, then please round up or down to the values that will give you the
lowest SWL (to ensure no overloads are applied). Please contact Modulift for
confirmation on your SWL if required. SWL given in tonnes.
