Modulift CMOD 50 Manuals

The CMOD Spreader Frame is modular in span, and every frame consists of 4 Corner Units, with intermediate Struts that can be bolted into the assembly to achieve different spans. The CMOD 50 has an assembled span ranging from 1m by 1m to 11m by 11m and all spans inbetween.

Contact your Modulift supplier for supply of loose spacers where required CMOD 50: UK 2014A DO’s & DON’TS •� Do ensure that the frame is only loaded at the Corner Units and they are all equally loaded •� Do ensure enough clearance between frame and the load to prevent the load hitting the frame. Any collision could cause failure of the frame •� Do not undertake a lift without the correct use of appropriate top slings •� Do not hang any loads from the Strut tube or flanges •� Do not exceed the stated SWL for your span •� Do not rig the lower slings more than 6° from vertical ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE 1. Check the ID plates on each Modulift component to ensure the correct size is used. 2. Lay out the Struts and Corner Units in the correct configuration� 3. Check�that�all�flanges�are�clear�from�debris,�sand�etc.� before connection 4. Bolt the components together* using bolts, nuts & washers provided. Tighten the bolts to torque as shown overleaf 5. Loop the top Shackles through the bows of the Corner Units so they contact ‘bow-to-bow’. The eye of the top slings can then be passed through the jaws of the Shackles and the pins replaced 6. Loop the bottom Shackles through the eyes of the drop slings and connect to the bottom of the Corner Unit with the Shackle pin 7. Attach the lower slings to the load to be lifted 8.

Please contact Modulift if you need further guidance © Copyright 2019 Modulift. All rights reserved. WARNING! ● ●Do not under any circumstances hang load(s) from the tube or flanges – the Spreader Frame is designed for compression – not bending. ● ●Ensure that the top Shackle contacts the bow of the corner plate ‘bow-to-bow’. ● ●The CMOD system is designed in accordance with BS EN13155: Cranes, Safety, Non- fixed Load Lifting Attachments. ● ●Max number of Struts: 5 per side on the span without T-Piece, 8 per side on span with T-Piece. ● ●All Corner Units and T-Pieces must be connected to crane hook using top slings and to the load using bottom slings. ● ●All slings must be correctly loaded i.e. no sling (top or bottom) to be slack at any point during lift. ● ●Sling angle is crucial to the safe use of the frame. ● ●The top sling/turnbuckle must be positioned centrally in the Shackle pin to ensure even loading. Contact your Modulift supplier for supply of loose spacers where required. ● ●T-Pieces must be located opposite each other and must connect to struts. Do’s & Don’ts ● ●Do ensure enough clearance between frame and the load to prevent the load hitting the frame. Any collision could cause failure of the frame. ● ●Do not exceed the individual WLL of any Corner Unit or T-Piece taking into account CoG offsets. ● ●The frame is designed to lift a single solid item using 8 points of the frame. ● ●To ensure no slings are slack, use turnbuckles on the central top slings, use matching top slings for the corners, and matching bottom slings all round. For offset CoGs, or where loads have different spans to the frame, more turnbuckles will be required for the top and/or bottom slings. Turnbuckles must be adjested until all slings are in tension. Contact Modulift for advice if in doubt. ● ●Within side with T-Pieces: Max. distance between the two T-Pieces and between T-Pieces and Corner Units to be no more than 50% of the total span of that side. Within side without T-Pieces: Min. distance between the two T-Pieces and between T-Pieces and Corner Units to be no less than 25% of the total span of that side. ● ●When connecting Corner Units directly to T-Pieces, assembly may be difficult. Please contact Modulift for assistance. ● ●Do not hang any loads from the Strut tube or flanges. ● ●Do not exceed the stated WLL for your span. ● ●Do not rig the lower slings more than 6° from vertical. Assembly Procedure ● ●Check the ID plates on each Modulift component to ensure the correct size is used. ● ●Lay out the Struts, T-Pieces and Corner Units in the correct configuration. ● ●Check all flanges are clear from debris, sand etc. before connection. ● ●Bolt the components together* using bolts, nuts & washers provided. Tighten the bolts to torque as shown overleaf. ● ●Loop the top Shackles through the bows of the Corner Units so they contact ‘bow-to-bow’. The eye of the top slings can then be passed through the jaws of the Shackles and the pins replaced. ● ●Loop the top Shackles through the remaining top slings and connect Shackles to the top of the T-Pieces. ● ●Loop the bottom Shackles through the eyes of the drop slings and connect to the bottom of the Corner Units and T-Pieces with the Shackle pins. ● ●Attach the lower slings to the load to be lifted. ● ●The assembled Spreader Frame and lifting rig must be thoroughly checked by a competent person prior to lifting. *The use of a Podger Spanner will aid in assembly by helping to align the bolt holes by forcing it through. Table 2 – Load v Span First pick the overall span required for your frame (e.g. 1m x 2m) and the Sling Angle (we recommend 30° STV where possible), then check the WLL via the appropriate table. Read the table by locating the lower span on the y axis of the chart and the larger on the x. The cell which you are referred to, will indicate the WLL for your chosen span. If your exact span is not noted in the table, then please round up or down to the values that will give you the lowest WLL (to ensure no overloads are applied). Please contact Modulift for confirmation on your WLL if required. WLL given in tonnes.
