DESCRIPTION

The Star Industries Spreader Bar Series provides a reliable heavy-duty lifting solution for construction, industrial material handling, steel erection, and rigging applications. Designed for rough terrain forklifts, straight mast forklifts, extendable reach forklifts, and crane lifting operations, these forklift spreader beams help safely handle long, awkward, and oversized materials such as steel beams, rebar cages, trusses, roofing panels, siding, and wire mesh bundles. Available in fixed-length and adjustable spreader bar configurations from 6 ft to 20 ft, each model delivers excellent load balance and improved lifting stability. Durable fork pockets accept forks up to 7" wide x 2.5" thick, while select models include crane pick points for versatile overhead lifting. With capacities ranging from 6,500 lbs to 34,000 lbs, Star Industries spreader bars are engineered to reduce load shifting, improve job-site efficiency, and provide dependable performance for demanding lifting environments.
