About GCL Deployment Equipment: Focus on Spreader Bars

Deploying Geosynthetic Clay Liners (GCLs) effectively requires specialized equipment to ensure the material is handled safely and remains undamaged. A critical component in this process is the **spreader bar assembly**, designed specifically for lifting and positioning GCL rolls.

Spreader Bar Assembly Components

1. Core Pipe or Bar: This robust pipe is inserted through the core of the GCL roll. It provides uniform support across the entire width of the roll, preventing sagging or bending during lifting.
2. Spreader Bar Beam: This beam spans the length of the roll and is attached to the lifting equipment, such as a crane or forklift. It ensures that lifting chains or straps are kept away from the roll edges, preventing chafing or damage.

Benefits of Using a Spreader Bar Assembly

• Material Integrity: Protects the edges of the GCL rolls from damage during lifting and placement.
• Safety: Provides a secure method for handling heavy rolls, reducing the risk of accidents on-site.
• Efficiency: Streamlines the deployment process, saving time and labor.

Current Availability

At this time, we do not stock spreader bar assemblies. However, recognizing the essential role they play in GCL deployment, we plan to offer these assemblies for hire directly to our clients in the near future. This initiative aims to provide convenient access to the necessary equipment, ensuring efficient and safe installation of GCLs on your projects.
