The Megamod lifting beam from LGH significantly expands the company鈥檚 super heavy lift capabilities as it targets the global high-tonnage lifting market.
It is rated at 1,500 tonnes working load limit at a 20-metre span and has been designed to provide maximum flexibility for project-specific lifting requirements.
LGH, originally called Lifting Gear Hire, has developed the Megamod on the back of growing demand from infrastructure and heavy industrial sectors where larger and more complex lifts require high-capacity, adaptable equipment. It is also DNV-rated, which means that it meets standards for offshore and marine lifting.
The modular design aids transportation and its trunnion ends offer a shackle-free rigging solution ideally suited to heavy loads. This allows load rotation, reduces rigging weight and speeds operations. The trunnion ends are also interchangeable.
LGH chief executive Andy Mault said: 鈥淎t LGH, our focus is on delivering complete lifting solutions that save our customers time, reduce risk and improve operational efficiency. The clients we work with are taking on larger and more technically demanding projects than ever before, so by investing in equipment like this modular spreader beam, we are strengthening our ability to provide flexible, safe and efficient solutions that will support the next generation of super heavy lift operations. It also represents our commitment to leading the global heavy lift rental market."
