A spreader bar is a below-the-hook lifting device that carries force in compression to keep slings vertical, while a lifting beam hangs from a single bail and carries force in bending. Choosing the right device depends on load geometry, weight distribution, available headroom, and pick-point layout. This guide covers how each device works structurally, the […]
A spreader bar is a structural device that separates two or more lifting slings to distribute load forces horizontally across multiple attachment points during a crane or hoist lift. It prevents inward compression on the load, controls sling angles, and enables safe hoisting of wide, fragile, or multi-point loads. This guide covers spreader bar types […]
