Aardwolf Spreader Bar ASB-2.5T – 5,511 lb Beam for Stone and Glass Rigging
Aardwolf Spreader Bar ASB-2.5T – 5,511 lb Beam for Stone and Glass Rigging
The Aardwolf Spreader Bar ASB-2.5T spreads a lift across two separated pick points at a manufacturer-stated working load limit of 5,511 lb (2,500 kg), so slings pull vertically instead of squeezing inward on the load. In the stone and glass trades that separation is what keeps bundles, crates, and fragile sheet from being crushed by their own rigging.
