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 aluminium 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 2000mm.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"lblDescription\"\u003eAdjustable lifting
