Product Description
The Caldwell Adjustable Spreader Bar is a heavy-duty lifting accessory engineered for industrial crane and hoist applications requiring controlled load spreading across two lift points. With a 5 Ton working load limit and an adjustable length range of 60 to 120 in, this spreader bar provides the versatility to accommodate a wide variety of load widths and rigging configurations without the need for multiple fixed-length bars.
Spreader bars are used to convert a single-point crane hook connection into a two-point lift, distributing the load across two attachment points and eliminating the inward compression forces on the load that would otherwise result from using slings alone in a standard two-leg bridle configuration. This makes the Caldwell adjustable spreader bar particularly well suited for lifting long, wide, or structurally sensitive loads such as structural steel, fabricated assemblies, machinery, and other industrial components where load integrity must be maintained throughout the lift.
The adjustable design allows the bar length to be set anywhere within the 60 to 120 in range, enabling the rigger to match the bar length to the specific load width and rigging geometry required for each lift. This flexibility reduces equipment inventory requirements and improves operational efficiency across a range of lifting tasks. As a Caldwell product, this spreader bar is built to the dimensional and performance standards associated with the Caldwell line of below-the-hook lifting devices.
All rigging hardware used in conjunction with this spreader bar, including slings, shackles, and the overhead crane hook, must be rated to meet or exceed the 5 Ton working load limit of the bar. The complete rigging assembly should be configured and operated in accordance with Caldwell's specifications and applicable below-the-hook lifting device standards.
