The CMOD Spreader Frame is modular in span and every frame consists of 4 Corner Units,
with intermediate Struts that can be bolted into the assembly to achieve dierent 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.
 The top sling length is critical to the safe use of the spreader – Ensure you refer to the correct table.
WARNING!
β = Sling to vertical angle (STV)

Should you nd your equipment is no longer of use,
please dispose of in a responsible manner. Please
contact Modulift if you need further guidance
Table 2 – Load v Span
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 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 conrmation on your WLL if
required. WLL given in tonnes.

Assembly Procedure
 Check the ID plates on each Modulift component to
ensure the correct size is used.
 Lay out the Struts and Corner Units in the correct
conguration.
 Check that all anges are clear from debris, sand etc.
before connection.
 Bolt the components together* using bolts, nuts & washers
provided. Tighten the bolts to torque as shown overleaf.
 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.
 Loop the bottom Shackles through the eyes of the drop
slings and connect to the bottom of the Corner Unit with
the Shackle pin.
 Attach the lower slings to the load to be lifted.
 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 by helping
to align the bolt holes by forcing it through.
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 anges.
 Do not exceed the stated WLL for your span.
 Do not rig the lower slings more than 6° from vertical.
WARNING!
 Do not under any circumstances hang load(s) from the
tube or anges – 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- xed Load Lifting Attachments.
 Max number of Struts allowed in assembly: 5 per side
 Assemble longer Struts in the centre of the conguration
 Sling angle is crucial to safe use of frame.
 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.
