Manufacturer Features & Specifications
General
A Spreader Bar, also referred to as a Spreader Beam, is a specialized lifting tool used primarily in the stone and glass industries. It is designed to evenly distribute the weight of heavy and often fragile materials during lifting and handling operations, helping to reduce stress on the load and prevent damage.
What Is It Used For?
The Spreader Bar is especially useful when rolling or turning large stone or glass slabs, a common need during fabrication or installation. When combined with endless slings (lifting straps that form a loop), it makes the task of flipping or positioning heavy panels safer, smoother, and more controlled.
Crowned aluminum rollers that help the sling rotate easily while supporting the load, simplifying the turning process.
Compatibility with up to 90mm wide slings.
Swivel hooks as an alternative to rollers, offering versatile lifting options.
Why Use a Spreader Bar?
Allows for balanced lifting, especially with wide or unbalanced loads.
Adjustable lifting points make it adaptable to various load sizes and shapes.
Improves safety and efficiency during material handling.
Specifically designed for the stone and glass industries. The Spreader Beam, combined with endless slings, is an invaluable piece of equipment where the stone/glass must be rolled over. The slings are suspended on crowned aluminum rollers. This makes turning the load in the sling easier. The rollers will handle up to 90mm wide slings. The swivel hooks can be used in place of rollers.
