Modulift drop links
Having the separate drop link means that any misalignment +/- 6 degrees of the bottom slings (i.e. if they are not vertical because the span of the spreader is longer or shorter than the distance between the lifting points on the load being lifted) will not induce bending into the Modulift spreader, unlike the fixed end design.
Therefore, the Modulift spreader design is like a ‘pin-ended strut,’ and all the load transferred from the slings to the spreader is purely axial.
This means that, like-for-like, Modulift spreaders are much lighter when comparing similar capacity beams.
