MOD 24
Assembly Procedure
Check the ID plates on each Modulift component to
●
●
ensure the correct size is used.
Lay out the Struts and End Units in the correct
●
●
configuration (see Table 2), laid on flats to prevent rolling.
Check that all pairs of flanges are clear from debris, sand
●
●
etc. before connection.
Bolt the components together using bolts, nuts & washers
●
●
provided. Tighten the bolts to a torque as shown overleaf,
4 bolts per connection. The number and grade of bolts
is critical for the safe use of the spreader particularly at
longer spans.
Place drop link inside the jaw of an end unit, with the
●
●
larger hole of drop link lined up with the End Unit hole.
Place a top sling onto the body of a top shackle, and put
●
●
jaw of top shackle over the end unit jaw.
Put top shackle pin through shackle, end unit jaw and
●
●
drop link, and repeat for other spreader beam end.
Attach free ends of top slings to crane hook.
●
●
Attach lower slings and shackles to lower holes of drop
●
●
links, and attach them to the load to be lifted.
The assembled spreader beam and lifting rig must be
●
●
thoroughly checked by a competent person prior to lifting.
Do's & Don'ts
Do ensure to load the spreader through the drop links
●
●
only. i.e. adhere to Fig. 1.
Do keep the loaded spreader clear of obstacles
●
●
– any contact could cause beam failure.
Do ensure correct use of appropriate top slings, do not
●
●
twist any slings unnecessarily.
Do not hang any load from the spreader tube or flanges.
●
●
Do not exceed stated WLL for that particular span
●
●
– adhere to Table 2.
Do not rig the lower slings more than 6 degrees from vertical.
● ●
When moving or positioning long struts or assemblies use
●
●
tag lines to control movement.
Individual components can be heavy and extreme care
●
●
must be taken if manual handling.
Recommended top sling types:
Textile slings, wire rope slings with soft eyes and chain slings
with small end fittings. If thimble eyes are used with wire rope
slings, make sure sling angle is 30 degrees or less. Other types
exist but not all are suitable due to end fitting size, particularly
larger capacity chain hook and thimble eyes.
Note:
Lengthening the slings can give greater clearance.
Refer to Modulift supplier if in doubt.
