●
●
accordance with the procedures laid down in
ASME B30.20 - 2018.

●
●
Table 2 for particular sling angle used.
The top sling length is critical to the safe use
●
●
of the frame
– ensure you refer to the correct
table.
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 components in the frame will be marked as
●
●
ASME 'Category B' , however the frame is modular
and some arrangements may be 'Category A'
due to this please contact Modulift prior to any
'Category B' application (e.g. Offshore).
Max number of Struts: 5 per side on the span
●
●
without T-Piece, 8 per side on span with
T-Piece.
All Corner Units and T-Pieces must be
●
●
connected to crane hook using top slings,
and to the load using bottom slings.
All slings must be correctly loaded i.e. no
●
●
sling (top or bottom) to be slack at any point
during lift.
Sling angle is crucial to the safe use of
●
●
the frame.
The top sling/turnbuckle must be positioned
●
●
centrally in the Shackle pin to ensure even
loading. Contact your Modulift supplier for
supply of loose spacers where required.
T-Pieces must be located opposite each other
●
●

– Adhere to WLL in
Table 2 – Load v Span
First pick the span required for your frame (e.g.
34" x82") and the Sling Angle (we recommend 60°
BSA where possible), then check the WLL 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 WLL 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
WLL (to ensure no overloads are applied). Please
contact Modulift for confirmation on your WLL if
required. WLL given in metric tons (tonnes).
