CEA Engineering Consult Co. Ltd. have officially launched their range of modular spreader beams called CEA Surelift™. As the logistics sector continues to demand safety with high quality and flexibility, CEA Engineering now produce DNV (Type) approved modular spreader beams with nominal lifting capacities from 50 Tonne to 400 Tonne. CEA Engineering will initially be focused on the SEA and Australasia regions with planned expansion worldwide through a network of country agents.
2. Introduction
SureLift, the quality name in the lifting industry is designed by experienced
engineers for lifting professionals.
At CEA we have many years of practical experience in the heavy crane,
lifting and logistics industry. We decided to draw on our vast experience
to produce a range of lifting products that completely match the stringent
requirements of the industry today.
In the past we were limited with equipment choices that partially fulfilled
our requirements and the high demands of the lifting industry, so we
designed a range of beams to meet industry needs for ourselves and our
clients and achieve the highest possible international standards.
Safety and confidence in every lift

We offer expert guidance when it comes to selecting the correct
beam. Our in-house, simple-to-use software ensures you get the
right beam every time, we call it SureSelect.
Just type in the load and dimensions of your lift and SureSelect
will provide you with the full details required for your lift
including beam combination, sling lengths and shackle sizes.
Access SureSelect on your iPad, Android tablet or smartphone
on-site to enable you to get a correct configuration for the beam
and equipment for the actual job in hand.
Sure Assist
Our website is online 24/7 to make sure you have all the
information and active support you need. You can contact us
directly or find your nearest local distributor who can give you
the answers and support you need in your own language and
time zone.
An instructional video on how to correctly assemble and safely

Protective Process
We ensure that every beam we sell is
protected in the best possible way against
the rigours of handling, assembly, storage,
on and offshore use and corrosion.
The graphic shows the way we take care
of this as standard. If you require a higher
level of protection, we can coat the beam
to suit your requirements at a small
additional cost.
4. Purpose Designed Beams
On occasions there are lifts that fall outside the performance of
standard range beams. In this case it is necessary to use a beam
designed to your particular lift specifications.
Our engineering design department is fully qualified and well
experienced in the design of all types of spreader and lifting
beams to satisfy many bespoke requirements.
We provide a full engineering design service encompassing
layout detailed design, analysis and reporting.
Using the latest technologies in 3D modelling and analysis, we
provide full design proposals with comprehensive calculation
reports citing all applicable local and international regulations.
Following fabrication, full certification and testing to
specification can also be included in our commercial proposal.
Essential Services
Lifting attachments that you will use over and over again.
All beams come with special lightweight nylon lifting slings to make assembly easy
and to prevent damage by direct handling, for example by fork trucks. Operators and
riggers will appreciate how easy they are to use when executing client lifts. Surelift is
the professional choice when ensuring lifts are done quickly and without issue.
Special Lift Rig Planning
For those lifts that are more complex than just a simple single
spreader bar between the slings, CEA SureLift provide a
complete lift planning service to assist you in deciding what the
most suitable and cost effective solution is for the lift.
Complex arrangements of beams between multiple slings are
often used and we can design such lift rigs for you.
Sometimes it may be possible for us to involve your local CEA
SureLift distributor or local crane rental company to provide you
with either new, used or even rental equipment to do the single
lift you require.
Training
Having the best equipment is only the first step. The beams are
designed to prevent incorrect assembly but SureLift want you
to achieve the best selection and use of your beams so we offer
comprehensive training courses. Courses can be held at our
factory, distributor’s premises or your own facilities. Training
offered includes:
• Selecting the right beam for the job
• Correct assembly of the beams under job site conditions
• Correct torquing of the flange bolts
• Correct selection of shackles and slings
• Dismantling, handling and storage of
the beams slings and shackles.
Training videos are available for those unable to attend our
training courses. These are helpful health safety guides, and
useful in technical presentations to your clients.
DNV Testing
DNV is the most respected and recognised standard to which
a manufacturer can aspire. At CEA SureLift we have taken great
care at every step of our designs and fabrication to follow exact
procedures and criteria specified by DNV.
The design, production and testing procedures for each model
of beam have been approved by DNV. Copies of our certification
are available on our website.
If a higher level of certification and testing is required, a full
DNV fabrication survey and test witnessing on all beams can be
provided at an additional cost before it’s delivered to you.

8. Q. How many struts can I insert between the two end units?
A. Any number and combinations up to five pieces.
Q. Is the position of the different length
struts in the beam important?
A. As a general rule the longest strut should be placed in
the centre as this will make the weight of the beam more
balanced. Other positioning will not affect the SWL
Q. If I only have longer slings than the actual
length on the chart can I still use these?
A. Yes as long as both are of equal length, the capacity shown
on the chart for the correct length will still apply.
Q. Can I mix components from other capacity SureLift
beams by mistake when assembling my beam?
A. No. SureLift have designed each capacity beam with a
different size and it’s impossible to get components mixed up
when assembling a beam.
Q. Can I use a fork lift truck to pick up my beams?
A. No. These should be avoided as they can damage the tubes.
These are structural beams and if they get damaged by the
forks then their strength may be affected.
Q. If I buy only a short beam can I buy
more components for it later?
A. Yes, however you must check if the new length beam may
need testing locally if the authorities require local regular
testing of beams.
Q. Is the internationally recognised certification you provide
with each beam all I need to use my beam in my country?
A. Your local authorities may require you to perform a test and
inspection to issue a local certificate prior to your use of the
beam. Each beam may need retesting and inspection after a
prolonged duration, please check with the local authority to
make sure the beam certificate is valid.
Q. Can I re-use the fixing bolts?
A. DNV recommended that the fixing bolts be replaced after
each assembly but this depends on your local certification
requirements.
Q. Is it essential to torque the bolts to the
recommended settings on the charts?
A. This is critical and for this reason we supply you with a
pre-marked torque wrench with each beam.
