Boost Job Site Efficiency with the MTLD Mass Timber Lifting Device

Introducing the MTLD Mass Timber Lifting Device: an innovation engineered to streamline and accelerate the erection of mass timber elements.

The MTLD represents a significant advancement in rigging technology. Its simple, secure design allows the device to attach and detach rapidly via a single screw anchored directly into the timber. This time-saving mechanism means faster rigging, greater precision, and improved overall job site productivity.

Key features and benefits

  • Fast attachment and detachment: A one-screw connection system eliminates complex rigging setups, saving critical time.
  • Single screw attachment: Reduces labour demands and potential points of failure while improving safety.
  • Load-rated with multiple screw options: Compatible with various screw types to meet different load and timber requirements.
  • Versatile screw installation: Use with or without a milled pocket to suit a wide range of installation scenarios.
  • Lifting capacity up to 1.3 tons: Built to handle heavy-duty mass timber components.
  • OSHA 1926.753(e)(2) compliant: Meets stringent safety regulations for lifting and hoisting operations.

The MTLD-R2 package also includes the MTLD-GAUGE tool, enabling precise dimensional checks of the lifting device — an added assurance for optimal performance and safety on the job site.

Whether you're erecting a CLT high-rise or installing modular timber components, the MTLD delivers unmatched speed, safety, and simplicity. It’s set to become an essential tool for modern mass timber construction teams.
