A Modulift spreader beam was used recently in the northeast of England to support the recalibration of a vessel’s crane for a national ship repair company.
The MOD110H spreader beam, with a 2.5 m equalised working load, was deployed for the work, providing the necessary support and stability for the crane calibration process. The lift also utilised modular, interlocking test weights from Test & Lift Engineering Services. These weights, combined with a test weight cradle, were securely locked into position and maintained the integrity of the lift while also adhering to strict safety standards.
Andy Clark, director at Test & Lift Engineering Services, said: “The crane underwent calibration at various loads up to 140,000 kg (140 tonnes). This comprehensive calibration process spanned several days, highlighting the precision and attention to detail required for the successful completion of the project.”
Sarah Spivey, managing director at Modulift, added: “This successful collaboration between Modulift, Test & Lift Engineering Services, and the national ship repair company showcases the effectiveness of advanced lifting solutions in critical industrial operations. The seamless integration of Modulift’s spreader beam and the careful implementation of test weights demonstrates the commitment to safety, efficiency, and accuracy in lifting operations.”
