New Technology Spreader Bars
S
avatech’s new-technology Spreader Bar is designed and engineered to meet the challenges of today’s recovery professional using Sava’s “safety through innovation” concept. The fivepiece Spreader Bar includes components that can be stored in any truck compartment, while being easily assembled in the field for use. This design aids in protection and storage to keep operators off the top of the vehicle limiting fall hazards. The bar is designed for rapid and convenient assembly. Carrying handles are provided on all components to move them with ease to the assembly location. Assembly pins are permanently attached to the fittings to eliminate loss in mud and snow, and keep them right where they are needed. For additional safety, the pins also have hairpin clips tethered directly to the handle. To aid in assembly the new tech design uses feet,
or kickstands, so the parts stand independently. This allows a single operator to slide the components together and place the pins. The complete assembly design provides a level of safety to the operator by reducing component weight and the body stress of lifting, moving, and aligning components to complete the assembly. Veer angle indicators are provided for the top sling connection points. These numeric strips work in conjunction with angle indicator arrows on the shackle to take the guesswork out of rigging. The operator will know the accurate veer angle and in turn the lifting capacity of the bar during use. This feature keeps the bar from being used at a bad veer angle or over the working load limit. The rated capacity using a 45-degree top sling angle at 110” is 30,000 lbs. The bar is manufactured in the USA and is made in accordance with ASME B30.20 BTH-1 Standard assuring quality and safety.
