A modular spreader structure (10) for use in offshore lifts comprises a plurality of elongate tubular elements (26, 22) made primarily of composite material. Primary tubular elements (26) each comprise an axial coupler formation (28) for end-to-end coupling with a complementary axial coupler formation of another primary tubular element, aligned on a common longitudinal axis. The adjoining primary tubular elements are interengageable by longitudinal overlap between male and female axial coupler formations. Secondary tubular elements (22) each comprise a node connector (30) that is configured for attachment to the structure at an orientation inclined relative to the common longitudinal axis of the primary tubular elements. In particular, the secondary tubular elements can be attached to an outer surface of one of the primary tubular elements.
