Sif, specialist in offshore foundations, chose to use a modular spreaderbeam with a WLL of 400.000 kg, including rigging, by Hoist International. This spreader is used for testing the bolting of a monopile and transition piece. All the spreaders that Hoist International delivers are provided with tubes, end pieces and bowshackles. Sif delivers offshore foundations for wind turbines and oil & gas platforms. Due to the fact that these foundations need to withstand strong natural forces, testing is an essential part of the production. To be able to test the bolting of a monopile and transition piece, Sif asked hoist and lift specialist Hoist International to deliver a modular spreaderbeam with a WLL of 400.000 kg, including rigging. This type of spreader is just one of the spreaderbeams we deliver. All spreaders are provided with tubes, different end pieces and bowshackles. Thanks to the equipment of Hoist International and our collaboration, Sif could deliver on its promise of delivering high-quality XL monopiles, on time and safely.

A large Scandinavian offshore company was looking for new steel wire ropes for a shipping crane. Hoist and lift equipment specialist Hoist International provided the right wire ropes to meet the special construction and high minimal breaking load (MBL). After a sea journey of 10.000 sea mile to the southern hemisphere, the steel wire ropes were delivered on location.
