Sunbelt Rentals has taken delivery of a new modular lifting beam for construction projects. Designed and manufactured by Britlift, the Multilifter ML180 is a versatile modular beam.
It can be used as an under beam, a lifting beam or H-frame with 16t safe working load (SWL) or a semi-spreader up to 23t. Sunbelt Rentals worked with Britlift on the ML180 and placed the first order. Britlift has a patent pending on the design.
Gary Joyice, director of lifting at Sunbelt Rentals, said: “This is a game changer for the lifting industry. It offers more versatility than anything we’ve seen before - it is like the Meccano of lifting beams. The ability to quickly and easily configure it as multiple products will be warmly welcomed by lifting professionals and construction contractors.”
Sunbelt placed an order based on the preliminary designs by Britlift. It has taken delivery of the first consignment and has supplied them to customers.
“The feedback we have received from our clients is impressive,” said Gary. “One of the common challenges occurring on site is when they realise, they don’t have the right beam for a specific lift, which leads to delays while one is sourced. The Multilifter minimizes this downtime because it can be quickly reconfigured.”
