Aardwolf Spreader Bar - 2.5 Tons - ASB25T
Specifically designed for the stone industry. The Spreader Bar, in combination with endless slings, is an invaluable piece of equipment where stone is required to be rolled over. The slings are suspended on crowned aluminum rollers. This makes turning the load in the sling easier. The rollers will handle up to 90mm wide slings. The swivel hooks can be used in place of rollers. The overall width is 1620mm.
Features
- Adjustable lifting points.
- Handle both wide and unbalanced loads.
- Swivel hooks and shackles.
What our Experts Think
-
High-capacity below-the-hook lifting solution, the Aardwolf ASB25T Spreader Bar is engineered for safe, controlled handling of stone slabs, glass, and large sheet materials using overhead crane systems.
-
2.5-ton working load limit (2,500 kg / 5,511 lb) makes it a reliable choice for medium-duty industrial lifting operations in fabrication yards and construction environments.
-
Adjustable lifting points help balance uneven or wide loads, improving stability and reducing stress on slings during lifts.
-
Crowned aluminum roller system supports webbing slings (up to ~90 mm wide), reducing friction and allowing smoother load rotation when turning slabs.
-
Swivel hooks compatibility reduces sling twisting and improves rigging flexibility depending on the lifting setup.
-
Robust welded steel construction (~46 kg unit weight) ensures durability while remaining practical for transport and setup.
-
Wide 1620 mm beam span provides stable load distribution for large, unbalanced stone or sheet materials.
Q&A
Q: What is the Aardwolf Spreader Bar 2.5 Tons (ASB25T) used for?
A: The ASB25T is a below-the-hook lifting beam designed for lifting, balancing, and turning stone slabs using a crane and webbing slings in fabrication and handling operations.
Q: What is the working load capacity of the ASB25T?
A: It has a Working Load Limit (WLL) of 2,500 kg (2.5 tons), making it suitable for heavy stone and slab handling applications.
Q: How does the spreader bar improve load handling?
A: It uses adjustable lifting points and crowned aluminium rollers to help balance wide or uneven loads and make slab turning and rolling easier with slings.
Q: What type of slings does the ASB25T support?
A: It is designed for use with endless webbing slings, typically up to about 90 mm width, which are suspended over the rollers for controlled lifting and rotation.
Q: Can swivel hooks be used instead of rollers?
A: Yes, the system allows the use of swivel hooks in place of rollers depending on the rigging setup and lifting requirements.
Q: What are the main safety advantages?
A: The design improves load stability, reduces sling twisting, and provides better control when lifting or rotating heavy stone slabs under a crane.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect spreader beam, welds, and lifting points before each use for cracks, bending, or deformation.
- Check shackles, lifting eyes, and connection hardware for wear, elongation, or thread damage.
- Ensure all pins, bolts, and safety clips are securely fitted and in good condition.
- Keep beam surface clean and free from rust, stone dust, or slurry buildup.
- Lubricate shackles and moving connection points lightly to maintain smooth operation.
- Verify rated 2.5 ton Working Load Limit (WLL) is never exceeded and loads are evenly distributed.
- Inspect sling attachment points for sharp edges or wear that could damage lifting gear.
- Store in a dry, covered area to prevent corrosion and extend service life.
- Repaint or treat exposed metal surfaces if rust begins to appear.
- Remove from service immediately if structural damage, bending, or weld failure is detected.
