Spreader bar extention

[Frank S]

After picking up a 68 ft long beam with my spreader bar it became all to apparent my 14ft spreader bar was not going to cut it
So a 26 ft length of 4" pipe 1/2" wall thickness was chained to the bottom of the spreader bar and I welded chain stops on each end to prevent the chains from sliding in either direction we chained from the ends of the extension to the end of the spreader bar so it could not slide

Now it works just fine
only needed it a couple of times
