Spreader Bar [1]

A brace used in the installation of storage tanks that separate the two sides of a lifting cable. The spreader bar helps ensure an adequate cable angle during a lifting operation so as not to cause damage. 

The use of lifting cables and spreader bars are discussed thoroughly in Recommended Practices for Installation of Underground Liquid Storage Systems, PEI/RP100 [2].
