MODULIFT STEPS UP TO THE PLATE WITH WORLD’S HIGHEST CAPACITY SINGLE POINT LIFTING BEAM
MODULIFT, THE UK-BASED HEAVY-LIFTING SPECIALISTS, pride themselves on being one of the world’s premier suppliers of spreader beams, lifting beams, and other below-the-hook lifting equipment. One of England’s fastest growing customized lifting companies, Modulift off ers complete lifting and engineering services to an impressive variety of sectors, including construction, oil and gas, power generation, and utilities. Simply stated: the company does wonders between the hook and the load. And this company-wide acumen has allowed Modulift to make great strides in the global lifting marketplace in practically no time at all.
T e full corporate history lands on this side of the millennium for the young engineering fi rm, having been established in 2002. T e endeavor is ultimately the union of two very distinct and determined women: Sue Caples and Sarah Spivey. Caples possesses the keen eye for engineering a truly unique product into a niche market, and Spivey drives the business intellect behind Modulift with a particular prowess for marketing and brand awareness. As a Master of Engineering graduate, a young Caples set out in
2002 to create a diff erence in the complex lifting space by developing solutions to complicated projects through the development of leading-edge off -the-shelf lifting equipment and custom-designed beams, frames, and bars. She met Spivey along the way and offi cially brought her on board in 2010 to take the company to the next level in global industrial lifting. Together, the duo has set Modulift apart from their competitors by pushing the envelope in design expertise and application. T e company is not afraid to design any type of beam for any type of lift—anywhere on Earth. A perfect example of this aptitude took place at Harland and Wolff ’s Belfast, Northern Ireland / UK, shipyard earlier this year, where Modulift assisted the marine manufacturing giant in optimizing their single-point lifting capacity from the world-renowned Samson gantry crane, and broke two world records in doing so. T e gargantuan achievement, which involved the ability to lift 700t (800 U.S. tons by equivalent, hereinto referred to as “tons”) from one lifting point, was required for lifting a steel structure jacket section of an oil rig. T e result of the four-year project is an expanded capacity for Harland and Wolff to manage ever-increasing business.
