Increase your heavy-duty recovery options with spreader bars and lifting strap kits. Spreader bars work by distributing a load across multiple points for added stability. The spreader is often used when lifting a large object that cannot be lifted from a single point. We carry the spreader bars, straps, swivels, chains, buckles and hooks to ensure your rigging success out on the job. Working with such trusted manufacturers like Miller and B/A Products, we also handle accessory items like storage brackets and end caps
For towing, lifting, and recovery operations, proper load distribution is key to safety and efficiency. Spreader bars and hardware provide the stability and control needed to lift heavy loads, balance uneven weight, and prevent damage to vehicles or cargo. Whether used on tow trucks, wreckers, or in industrial lifting applications, these tools are essential for professional operators who demand reliability and precision.
From adjustable lifting beams to compact spreader bars, having the right equipment ensures that heavy loads are handled safely while minimizing risk to both personnel and equipment.
Spreader bars are designed to distribute weight evenly across a lifting point, reducing stress on single attachment points and improving overall stability. Benefits include:
These tools are particularly useful for professional tow operators who frequently lift vehicles, reposition cargo, or perform rigging tasks requiring precision and safety.
