FAQ about this model

What is the lift capacity of the 1160B spreader bar?

Capacity is 16,800 / 11,200 / 8,000 lbs, with the rated figure depending on where the bar is set within its 12 to 20 ft. adjustable length range. Extending the bar to a longer setting lowers the rated capacity, so confirm your working length against the load weight before use.

How do I mount this on my forklift?

The 1160B has fork pockets spaced 39" on center and requires a carriage that is 48" or wider. Check your forklift's carriage width before ordering to make sure the pockets and carriage match up.

What forklift types is this spreader bar compatible with?

It is compatible with straight mast, extendable reach, and rough terrain forklifts. Check that your specific unit's carriage width and lift capacity align with the spreader bar's 48" minimum carriage requirement and rated loads.

How much does the spreader bar itself weigh?

The empty weight is 1140 lbs. Factor this into your forklift's total lift capacity calculation, since the bar's own weight plus the load must stay within your forklift's rated capacity at the working length you select.

Can the length be adjusted, and what is the range?

Yes, the 1160B adjusts from 12 to 20 ft. This lets you match the bar's span to different load widths, but keep in mind rated capacity changes across the 16,800 / 11,200 / 8,000 lbs range depending on the length setting used.

Does this spreader bar meet any safety standards?

Yes, it meets OSHA and ANSI safety requirements. No further certification details are listed beyond this compliance statement.
