Module Lifting System
Deep South’s new module lifting system is a valuable tool when you need to accommodate varying centers of gravity when lifting multiple objects.
Maximum Capacity: 100 Tons
This system allows you to lift and set multiple objects of different widths, lengths and centers of gravity with the same rigging, saving time and money on your project. With traditional rigging, you typically need to change the inserts and slings to accommodate variances between objects to be lifted.
The system is multi-tiered and composed of six (6) adjustable hydraulic cylinders, one (1) hydraulically variable modular bar in the transverse direction, and two (2) multi-holed modular bars in the longitudinal direction.
- It is remotely operated, allowing the operator to level the load during lifting.
- It is easily transported and configured by a qualified operator.
Top Hydraulically Variable Modular Bar
- System widths can be changed hydraulically to accommodate variations in load widths between lifts. There is no need to lower rigging system to the ground.
- Two 75T hydraulic lift cylinders are utilized to level loads in the transverse direction with 4’-0” of adjustment available.
Lower Multi-holed Modular Bars
- Utilized as a pair, the lower modular bars are multi-holed, allowing for variations in lifting lug locations.
- Each lower modular bar utilizes two 55T hydraulic lift cylinders to level loads in the longitudinal direction with 6’-0” of adjustment available.
The 100-ton Module Lift System is surprisingly light weight, coming in at roughly 55,000 lbs, as compared to conventional lifting methods which can weigh in excess of 80,000 lbs – 100,000 lbs.

An Award Winning Multi-Scope Lift and Set
As part of a petrochemical facility expansion in Texas, the client needed more than 60 pieces of equipment of various weights and sizes moved and placed in tight confines—in just four months. With very little room for errors or delays, and no time to spare, Deep South’s skilled engineers and managers put together an impressive engineering plan to facilitate a safe and efficient effort.

Many Lifts, One Solution: Modular Lift System Flexes Hydraulic Muscles During Process Plant Overhaul
Deep South crews were challenged to haul, lift, and set 84 modules, including three towers (one measuring 100’ long, 350,000 lbs.) as well as various pieces of process equipment, such as piping, tanks, PDC buildings, and transformers—all within a tight schedule. Many of the modules had offset centers of gravity further complicating the lift and set.

Assembling the 1,500T VersaCrane™ TC-24000 off site and moving it via SPMT saved this client 15 days of downtime and allowed the refinery unit to run at full capacity until unit shutdown. During the scheduled outage, Deep South was tasked to replace two coke drums, each weighed 452,800 lbs and were 19’-2” outside diameter and 96’-0” long and were comparable in size and weight to the old drums.
