WELS-MSB-20TON

The Welmeqs WELS-MSB-20TON Modular Spreader Beam represents the next level in heavy-duty lifting equipment, delivering a robust 20-tonne working load limit (WLL) in a modular, configurable package built for demanding industrial, construction, and offshore lifting operations. Designed with the modern lifting environment in mind, this beam combines flexibility, strength, and ease of handling in one powerful package.

At Welmeqs, we recognize that each lift scenario presents unique challenges — whether it involves varying span requirements, multiple lift points, difficult sling angles, or logistical constraints. The WELS-MSB-20TON addresses those challenges by offering a modular design that allows for adjustment of span and configuration, rapid on-site assembly, and compatibility with a wide range of rigging accessories. Built from high-strength structural steel and finished with a corrosion-resistant coating, this beam is engineered for precision and designed to perform reliably under pressure.

Engineered for safety, performance, and versatility

With a 20-tonne WLL and a design safety factor of 4:1 (or better as per our internal design standard), the WELS-MSB-20TON is built to exceed expectations. Every component — from the forged shackles to the bolted modular struts — is manufactured and inspected to deliver consistent performance with full traceability. The product is engineered to meet applicable global lifting standards (such as EN13155) and is backed by a full test certificate and user manual.

Key engineering features include:

• A high-tensile steel beam body optimized for minimal self-weight while delivering class-leading capacity.

• Precision machining of end-caps and bolt holes to ensure alignment, ease of assembly, and accurate load distribution.

• Modular strut sections that interconnect with bolts and pins, enabling flexible span adjustment without requiring entirely new beams.

• A durable protection finish (industrial paint or powder coat) to ensure longevity and resistance to outdoor, offshore, or harsh-environment exposure.

• Clearly marked capacity ratings, rigging angles, and assembly instructions to support safe operation.

Modular design for field adaptability

One of the standout features of the WELS-MSB-20TON is its modular architecture. Rather than being limited to a fixed span, this beam allows the operator to adjust the span length and rigging configuration to suit the actual lift environment, reducing the need for multiple bespoke beams. On-site, the beam can be assembled quickly and adjusted as needed to change span or rigging geometry, enhancing productivity and reducing equipment inventory.

The modular strut concept means fewer spare beams are needed, as different strut lengths can be combined to produce various overall spans. This allows one WELS-MSB-20TON kit to cover multiple job scenarios. This adaptability translates into cost savings, simplified logistics, and less downtime. The beam is shipped in manageable, modular sections, facilitating transport, storage, and maneuvering in tight or congested areas.

Application-ready for heavy lifting

Whether you work in construction, manufacturing, marine/offshore, logistics, or fabrication, the WELS-MSB-20TON is engineered to meet your heavy lifting requirements. Typical applications include:

• Lifting of large fabricated structures such as steel frames, modular units, or pre-cast concrete elements.

• Positioning and installation of heavy machinery, tanks, or vessels.

• Offshore and marine lifts where multi-point rigging is required and span adaptation is paramount.

• Logistics operations where large loads must be lifted and spread across multiple slings to minimise sling angles and ensure load balance.

• Multi-point rigging (2-point, 4-point, 6-point), where evenly distributed load and sling geometry are critical.

Because the WELS-MSB-20TON is engineered for repeated use in varied configurations, it aligns with modern operational needs for efficiency, safety, type, and flexibility.

Safety, compliance & user guidance

At Welmeqs, safety is integral to every design decision. The WELS-MSB-20TON is supplied with full-load test certificates, serial identification, marking of end-links, and a comprehensive user manual that includes assembly instructions, recommended sling angles, inspection protocols, and maintenance guidelines.

Safety best practices include:

• Always lift using the designated end links/shackles — do not load the beam through the mid-span or struts unless specifically designed for it.

• Control the sling-to-vertical (STV) angle to ensure the sling angles do not exceed the values specified in the load chart for the current configuration.

• Inspect rigging gear, shackles,les, and beam components before each use. Replace any item that shows wear, deformation, or corrosion.

• Only competent and qualified personnel should plan and execute the lift, including rigging, signal-person, and crane operator.

• Never exceed the rated WLL of the beam, and ensure that combined load, sling angles, and accessories remain within safe limits.

• Store and maintain the beam as per the manual: keep it clean, inspect the coating, treat corrosion, and ensure all fasteners are torqued to the correct level.

Through design, documentation, and manufacturing, we ensure the WELS-MSB-20TON meets industry standards and helps you maintain compliance with lifting equipment regulations.

Handling, logistics & maintenance

Despite its 20-tonne capacity, the WELS-MSB-20TON is engineered to minimise self-weight and ease handling. By shipping as modular components, moving it on site becomes manageable, and the rigging crew can assemble the beam without undue delay. The reduced logistics burden — fewer large, single-piece beams, easier transport, and greater storage flexibility — makes this system particularly well-suited to dynamic job sites and international projects.

Maintenance is straightforward: with the robust finish on structural steel, routine inspections focus on fasteners, welds, shackles, and surface condition. Modular parts can be replaced or reconfigured as needed, so the beam remains in service for years. The result is a long service life and low total cost of ownership.
