Users can amend the lifting points between a single or a double point lift at the top. However, Locke singled out the product’s reversible lug plate that grips onto the spreader when a load is applied. For additional safety, he said, there are two tightening screws / bolts at both ends of each clamp, allowing the user to apply a small pre-load to the clamp in order to keep it locked in position before the main load to be lifted is applied. The product represents further diversification of a portfolio that recently welcomed an innovative new end unit system with an integrated load cell (Active Link). Locke said: “Although the design fully reflects Modulift’s core design principles of providing customers with both flexible and adaptable solutions, there is nothing similar in our existing product range and it therefore represents another dimension to the range that our distributors have found hugely exciting.” The product’s launch marks completion of extensive research and development that started over two year ago. The MOD CLS will be manufactured to a minimum stock level to facilitate next day availability as an off-the-shelf product for Modulift’s global distribution network, while plans are already afoot to offer another model with a higher working load limit (WLL). The clamps are pre-assembled on the beam together with markers to show alignment and the centre of lift. A reversible lug plate grips onto the spreader when a load is applied.
