FAQs
Q: Can the spreader bar be used with all types of full-body harnesses?
A: Yes — you must ensure the harness hip D-rings are rated for work-positioning applications and compatible with dual-hook assemblies like this product.
Q: What should I do if the hook gate opens unexpectedly on the spreader bar?
A: If the gate shows deformation, damage, or fails to fully lock under load, remove the unit from service immediately and replace it before further use.
Q: How does using this spreader bar affect my safe work zone and fall-clearance planning?
A: Because this is a work-positioning accessory not a fall-arrest device, you must ensure the anchorage and supporting system are rated to handle the loads and that you limit free-fall to minimal or none, per the manual.
Q: Is this spreader bar suitable for hoisting tools or materials while working at height?
A: No — equipment like this should be used only for personal fall-protection or work-positioning systems. It is not designed or rated to lift tools or carry materials.
