Alliance Multisec × Franklin Offshore
Expanding access to modular lifting systems worldwide
The partnership brings together Durham Lifting’s experience in modular spreader beam design and manufacture with Franklin Offshore’s international equipment, rental and service capabilities.
A strategic partnership for global lifting projects
Franklin Offshore is an integrated provider of rigging, mooring and lifting equipment, supporting customers across offshore, marine and energy industries.
Its international network and experience in safety-critical lifting make the business a strong strategic partner for the Multisec modular spreader beam range.
The agreement will allow customers operating across international markets to access engineered lifting systems with the commercial and logistical support of an established global supplier.
Direct equipment supply
Customers can purchase Multisec modular spreader beam systems for regular operations and long-term project requirements.
Project-based availability
Rental options provide access to suitable lifting systems without the need for permanent equipment ownership.
International project reach
Franklin Offshore’s network supports equipment availability and customer requirements across key offshore and marine markets.
Multisec modular spreader beam systems
Developed and manufactured by Durham Lifting, Multisec modular spreader beams provide a flexible solution for lifting loads across a range of capacities and spans.
The modular design allows different strut sections and end units to be configured around the requirements of a particular lift. This gives customers the flexibility to adapt equipment for changing load dimensions and future projects.
Systems can be supplied with the required components, documentation and certification to support safe deployment in demanding industrial, marine and offshore environments.
Flexible configurations
Interchangeable components allow lifting spans to be configured for different loads and project requirements.
Designed for the lift
Equipment is selected and configured around load weight, dimensions, lifting centres and operating conditions.
Value across projects
Modular systems can be reconfigured and used repeatedly, reducing the need for a new fixed-length beam for every lift.
Supporting offshore and marine customers
Offshore lifting operations often involve complex loads, restricted project schedules and demanding environmental conditions.
Equipment must be appropriately selected, technically verified and supported by clear documentation before it is deployed.
By combining Multisec lifting systems with Franklin Offshore’s regional knowledge, rigging expertise and equipment services, the partnership provides customers with a more accessible route to complete lifting solutions.
Combining UK manufacturing with global offshore support
Durham Lifting will provide its experience in modular spreader beam engineering and manufacture, while Franklin Offshore will support international supply, rental and customer access through its global operating platform.
A shared commitment to lifting safety
Safety is central to both organisations and is particularly important in offshore lifting, where equipment performance and correct configuration are critical.
The agreement brings together two businesses with established experience in lifting and rigging equipment for safety-critical applications.
Customers will benefit from technical equipment manufactured by an experienced UK lifting specialist and supplied through a partner with a detailed understanding of international offshore project requirements.
“We are delighted to have secured this alliance and look forward to forming a close partnership with Franklin Offshore.”
