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 60 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: Raising the slings can give greater clearance. Refer to Modulift supplier if in doubt.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE.
1. Check the ID plates on each Modulift component to ensure the correct size is used.
2. Lay out the Struts and End Units in the correct configuration (see table 2), laid on flats to prevent rolling.
3. Check that all pairs of flanges are clear from debris, sand etc. before connection.
4. Bolt the components together using bolts, nuts & washers provided. Tighten the bolts to a torque as shown overleaf, 6 bolts
per connection.
5. Place drop link inside the jaw of an end unit, with the larger hole of drop link lined up with the End Unit hole.
6. Place a top sling onto the body of a top shackle, and put jaw of top shackle over the end unit jaw.
7. Put top shackle pin through shackle, end unit jaw and drop link, and repeat for other spreader beam end.
8. Attach free ends of top slings to crane hook.
9. Attach lower slings and shackles to lower holes of drop links, and attach them to
the load to be lifted.
10. The assembled spreader beam and lifting rig must be thoroughly checked
by a competent person prior to lifting.
DOs & DONTS.

Do ensure to load the spreader through the drop links only. i.e. adhere to Fig. 1.
Do ensure enough clearance between spreader and the load to prevent the load
hitting the spreader. Any collision could cause failure of the spreader.
Do not undertake a lift without correct use of appropriate top slings.
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.
Do not twist any slings.
