On the forks installation: Insert the forks into the
fork pockets and then slide the spreader bar all the
way onto the forks so the pin plates extend behind
the back of the fork. Insert the fork locking pins in
each side and secure them with hair-pins to lock the
spreader bar to the forks. Then secure the safety
chains to a strong part of the forklift carriage making
sure the chains are not slack and installed as close to
a straight horizontal pull as possible. The chain angle
must not exceed 45 degrees vertical.
Adjust the spreader bar to the desired width by
removing the adjustment pins and sliding out the
inner section of the spreader bar. The spreader bar
can be set for 8, 10, or 12 foot widths. There is a
stop to prevent the inner section from being slid all
the way out of the center tube however the spreader
bar must not be used pulled all the way out to the
stops. The inner section must be slid in far enough to
align the holes so the width adjustment pins can be
installed and secured with a hair-pin. The bar must
be extended an equal distance on both sides.
Rated capacities shown below also appear on
the spreader bar decal(s). Be aware that these
capacities are for the spreader bar itself and do not
to the forklift operator’s manual for capacity ratings
and any limitations or restrictions when using this
type of attachment. Remember the weight of the
bar must be deducted from the lift capacity of the
forklift. If there is any question as to forklift’s lifting
capacities when using this attachment, contact the

also that the load rating for slings, chains,
or straps used with the spreader are equal to or exceed
the rating of both the forklift and the spreader bar, if not;
always limit the load to the lowest rated part of the lifting
system.
1. Before elevating the load make sure the forklift mast
or boom is level (vertical) - not leaning to the right or
left. Do not use the spreader bar when operating on
a side slope.
2. Before the load is raised make sure slings, chains,
or straps are properly secured and are not twisted
around each other or entangled.
3. The load must be picked up so that it is equally
balanced and hangs level.
4. When lifting a load, guard against shock loading by
taking up the slack in slings or straps slowly.
5. Prevent jerking at the beginning of the lift, and
accelerate or decelerate slowly.
6. Do not use the spreader bar to drag or pull a load.
7. Do not leave suspended loads unattended.
8. Take care that the load does not swing or come in
contact with an obstruction.
9. Keep all personnel clear while the load is being
raised, moved, or lowered. Forklift/crane operator
should watch the load at all times when it is in motion.
10. Never allow more than one person to give signals to
the forklift operator except to warn of a hazardous
situation.
