Keep reading to learn more about the spreader bar and how it works.

About the Transforming Spreader Bar 


The Transforming Spreader Bar unit was designed with versatility, simplicity and speed in mind. It is manufactured in the United States out of high strength reinforced steel. Support bars for fork lift and pay loader lifting are incorporated into the design for on the spot positioning and management. Alone, the spreader bar is capable of lifting three filled Big Bags USA® flood barrier sandbags; however, by attaching the extensions with the lock pins and safety bolts, the lift is now capable of lifting four and five sandbags or one entire Big Bags USA® protective flood barrier system at once. Our system is secured by its own weight; therefore, the spreader bar requires no special equipment or tools for a successful deployment. Once you've positioned the flood barriers in place, there's no need for a ground crew to detach the system. Simply toggle the spreader bar device and the break free design effortlessly releases from the sandbags system for true and accurate deployment of our flood barrier systems.
