CMOD Spreader Beams: Smarter, More Stable Lifting in Tight Spaces
While most lifting professionals are familiar with spreader beams and their role in distributing load weight and expanding pick points, there’s one solution that brings even greater flexibility and efficiency to complex lifts: the modular CMOD spreader beam system from Modulift, available through LGH.
Whether you’re lifting large, unbalanced loads or working in areas with limited headroom, the CMOD system offers a more compact, customizable alternative to traditional beam configurations — without sacrificing stability or safety.
What Is a CMOD System?
The CMOD (corner modular) system allows users to create a square or rectangular lifting frame ranging from 4×4 to 36×36 feet, depending on your lift requirements. It converts standard Modulift spreader beams into a frame spreader tool using specially engineered corner units, enabling four-point lifts without adding extra components to redirect slings.
This compact design reduces setup time and simplifies the rigging process — all while maintaining full structural integrity and meeting international safety standards.

Why Use CMOD Instead of Traditional Beams?
One major challenge in multi-point lifting is headroom. A conventional setup for a 36-foot beam might require over 45 feet of vertical clearance to accommodate sling angles and additional rigging. The CMOD system solves this by:
-
• Reducing headroom requirements
-
• Eliminating the need for second-level slings
-
• Creating four pick points with a single rigging solution
This makes it ideal for:
-
• Lifts in confined indoor environments
-
• Modular construction projects
-
• Jobs that demand maximum stability and load control
