LGH Expands Heavy Lift Capabilities with 1,500-Tonne Modular Spreader Beam

LGH has introduced a new 1,500-tonne modular spreader beam engineered by Modulift, strengthening its global high-tonnage lifting capabilities across offshore, infrastructure and industrial sectors.

30-Second Takeaway LGH has added a new 1,500-tonne modular spreader beam to its global rental fleet, responding to increasing demand for high-capacity lifting solutions. Engineered by Modulift and DNV-rated, the beam is designed for offshore, marine and infrastructure projects. Its modular configuration and trunnion-end design improve safety, flexibility and mobilisation efficiency. Modular Spreader Beam LGH has expanded its super heavy lift capabilities with the introduction of a new 1,500-tonne modular spreader beam, reinforcing its position in the global high-tonnage lifting market. The investment reflects growing demand from infrastructure, offshore, and heavy industrial sectors, where increasingly complex lifts require high-capacity and adaptable lifting solutions. High-Capacity Lifting for Offshore and Infrastructure The spreader beam, engineered by Modulift and nicknamed “MEGAMOD,” is DNV-rated, making it suitable for offshore and marine environments. Applications include heavy-lift vessels, pipe-lay ships, offshore wind projects, and other demanding operations. Now integrated into LGH’s global rental fleet, the beam offers a working load limit of 1,500 tonnes at a 20-metre span, positioning it among the highest-capacity modular systems available. Modular Design Enhances Flexibility and Deployment The modular spreader beam design enables flexible configurations, faster mobilisation and easier transportation compared to fixed systems. This allows the equipment to be deployed efficiently across a wide range of lifting scenarios. A key feature is its trunnion ends, which provide a shackle-free rigging solution. This innovation reduces rigging weight, improves safety, allows load rotation and accelerates mobilisation, delivering both time and cost efficiencies. Strengthening LGH’s Global Fleet The new unit expands LGH’s existing spreader beam fleet, which ranges from six tonnes to 1,500 tonnes, alongside a comprehensive portfolio of rigging equipment. Following assembly in Antwerp, the beam is scheduled for deployment on a heavy load testing project, with future applications expected across offshore installation, bridge construction, marine crane testing and industrial lifting operations. LGH CEO Andy Mault said the investment highlights the company’s commitment to delivering safer, more efficient lifting solutions for increasingly complex and demanding projects. About About LGH LGH (Lifting Gear Hire) is a global provider of lifting and rigging equipment for construction, infrastructure, offshore and industrial applications.
