  • Determine the spread length required for the lift.

  • Select the components to be assembled from the right-hand columns of the chart.

  • The assembly area must be clean and level.

  • All components must be checked for damage and clean mating surfaces.

  • Use soft slings on the lifting lugs to position the sections. NEVER use a forklift to carry the beam.

  • Position the longest section in the middle of the assembly area (laid on flats to avoid rolling).

  • Attach the required components as evenly as possible on each end to achieve the correct length for the job.

  • Attach the end units.

  • Install new bolt, washer, washer and nut at each hole. Torque in a star pattern to 100 ft. lb. with Anti-Seize coating on threads.

Correct
Assembly Procedure:

  • Select the correct length slings from the load chart to give the required sling-angle.

  • Place the links in the end units with the large hole up. Install the shackles, drop links and top slings with the heavier capacity shackle to the top.

  • Attach to the crane hook and lift the spreader beam off the ground.

  • Connect the shackles and lower slings to the drop links.

  • Connect the lower slings to the load.

  • A through check of the assembly should be made by a competent person prior to commencing the lift.

  • Confirm all lifting devices are free from any damage.

  • Verify slings are not twisted.

  • Verify bottom sling angles do not exceed 5 degrees from vertical.

  • Verify all fasteners are tightened properly.

  • Use length and sling angle chart information to verify spreader system capacity. Component capacity and spreader system capacity are different.

  • Confirm the combined weight of the spreader system and the load does not exceed the crane’s rated capacity.

  • Always place the longest spreader section in the middle of the assembly.

  • Never use more than 5 spreader sections in an assembly.

  • Only lift loads from the end shackles. Never from the spreader tubes or flanges.

  • Verify the travel path is clear of any people andobstructions.

Safety
Information:

  • Never lift loads over people.

  • Obey stop signals from anyone.

  • Confirm the load is ready for lifting or transporting.

  • Ensure the load can withstand forces applied by the lifter.

  • Do not modify the lifter.

  • Verify each operator is qualified in proper lifting and rigging.

  • Confirm all lifting devices are correctly, completely, seated in the hoist hook.

  • Lift or transport only properly balanced loads using a vertical lift.

  • Accelerate and decelerate the lifter and load slowly and smoothly – avoid swinging the load

  • Do not drag loads on the ground.

  • Do not leave a suspended load unattended.

  • Bolts, Nuts and Washers can be reused as long as anti-seize thread coating is used and torque in a star pattern to 100 ft. lb.
