Lifting equipment manufacture & fabricationMultisec engineered lifting systems & bespoke lifting equipment
Durham Lifting manufactures and fabricates engineered lifting equipment through Multisec, covering standard modular systems and project-specific lifting beams, frames and custom lifting solutions.
Engineered lifting equipment from manufacture and fabrication through testing and documentation.
Durham Lifting supports lifting projects that need more than an off-the-shelf product, combining Multisec engineered lifting systems with in-house manufacture, fabrication and technical support.
The manufacturing route covers DNV Type Approved Modular Spreader Beams, modular spreader frames, multi-point lifting beams, adjustable H-Frames and bespoke lifting equipment for demanding industrial, offshore and marine applications.
Where a project also needs proof load testing, inspection or lifting-equipment supply, those requirements can be supported through Durham Lifting’s wider lifting services without presenting manufacture as a standalone general steel-fabrication service.
Standard Multisec systems and bespoke lifting fabrication for demanding projects.
Multisec provides the standard engineered product range, while project-specific requirements can be developed as bespoke lifting beams, frames and other custom lifting equipment around the load, lifting points, headroom and operating environment.
Multisec by Durham Lifting.
Multisec is Durham Lifting’s engineered lifting systems brand. Standard modular equipment sits alongside bespoke fabrication for loads or lifting geometries that need a project-specific solution. Hire requirements for suitable Multisec equipment are handled separately through Durham Lifting.
Modular Spreader Beams
Modular spreader beams for flexible, certified lifting configurations across demanding onshore and offshore projects.
Modular Spreader Frames
Configurable spreader frames for stable four-point lifting where beam arrangements are unsuitable.
Multi-Point Lifting Beams
Multi-lug lifting beams for controlled load distribution across multiple attachment points.
Adjustable H-Frames
Adjustable H-Frames for controlled four-point lifting where headroom, access or site constraints are limited.
Manufacturing quality, traceability and certification for engineered lifting equipment.
Multisec engineered lifting systems are manufactured within Durham Lifting’s controlled quality and fabrication framework.
Durham Lifting supplies and supports Multisec engineered lifting systems, giving customers access to modular lifting products, bespoke lifting equipment, proof load testing and certification support from one connected business.
DNV Type Approved Modular Spreader Beams
The Multisec Modular Spreader Beam range holds DNV Type Approval to DNV-ST-0378, supporting lifting operations in demanding offshore, marine and heavy lifting environments.
Confidence before equipment reaches site.
Lifting equipment used in safety-critical environments needs more than good design. It needs recognised standards, traceable manufacture, clear documentation and the right certification before it is put into service.
View Certifications →BS EN 1090
Certified structural steel manufacturing standards supporting fabrication control, quality assurance and traceability.
ISO 9001:2015
Quality management systems supporting consistent processes, documentation and continuous improvement.
LEEA Membership
Membership of the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association reflects commitment to lifting industry standards.
CE & UKCA
Product marking support for relevant UK and European requirements for lifting equipment.
F4OR
Fit 4 Offshore Renewables recognition supporting offshore wind and renewable energy supply chain requirements.
Bespoke lifting equipment manufacture for projects outside the standard range.
Where a standard modular system is not suitable, Durham Lifting can develop and fabricate bespoke lifting equipment through Multisec around the load, lifting points, headroom, site restrictions and operating environment.
