Abstract
A spreader bar arrangement adapted to be attached to an elongated product, such as a telephone switchgear frame, which assists in loading and unloading the product onto a transport vehicle having a movable crane mechanism. The spreader bar arrangement includes a support member extending along the top of the elongated product and having a plurality of fastening apertures therein which coincide with coupling points in the upper frame of the product such that the support member may be bolted thereto. A connector member is attached to the support member centrally along its length and includes at least one U-bolt extending around the support member. A bracket is bolted to the legs of the U-bolt, and a pin extends centrally through the bracket and has a hole therein for attachment to the crane mechanism of a transport vehicle.
