CHOOSING THE RIGHT LIFTING BAR OR BEAM
Know Your Lifting Method
Using a crane or overhead hoist? A top-lift spreader bar is your best bet. If you’re using a forklift or telehandler, choose a fork-mounted model that securely fits over the tines for easy, stable lifting.
Match To Your Load Type
If you’re lifting long materials like pipes or rebar, a spreader bar with a wide span helps prevent bending and ensures a balanced lift. For uneven or off-center loads, go with adjustable lifting beams to fine-tune your pick points and keep everything level.
Consider Adjustability & Application
Fixed lifting beams are simple and strong, ideal for consistent load types. When your loads vary in width or shape, adjustable models add flexibility. Be sure to check the spreader bar’s Working Load Limit and any tie-down or fork pocket requirements for your setup.

FAQs
Can I use these spreader beams with a telehandler?
Yes. Our fork-mounted adjustable spreader bars are designed for use with telehandlers or forklifts, making them a practical solution for construction sites where cranes aren’t accessible.
What’s the difference between a spreader bar and a lifting beam?
Spreader bars separate rigging lines and reduce stress across the load, especially for wide items. Lifting beams support from the center and are typically used for more compact, balanced lifts.
Can I adjust the width of these bars?
Some models, such as our Haugen telehandler-mounted options, are fully adjustable, giving you the flexibility to adapt to different load widths. Others are fixed for added durability and strength.
How do I attach a spreader bar to my equipment?
Crane-style bars connect using top pick points or shackles. Fork-mounted versions simply slide over the tines of your forklift or telehandler and secure with safety pins or chains. It’s a quick and intuitive setup.
Do you offer replacement parts like pins or hooks?
Yes. We can provide replacement clevis pins, safety chains, hooks, and other compatible accessories for the models we sell. Reach out to confirm exact part matches for your beam setup.
