Modulift, a UK supplier of spreader beams, lifting beams and other below-the-hook equipment, has entered into a joint venture with engineering consultancy and inspection specialist, IMES (Inspection Monitoring Engineering Solutions), to form Lift Management Services (LMS).

The collaboration is in response to cost-cutting in the oil and gas sector and aims to address the growing pressure on those responsible for the application of lifting equipment to both manage resources and continually improve safety and efficiency.
