WHAT’S NEW THE NEW BOSCARO EZ SPREADER BAR SYSTEM
Italian crane equipment manufacturer Boscaro and partner Eagle West Cranes & Equipment Inc., continue to develop innovative crane accessories customized for the North American market. Their latest endeavor is the EZ™ Spreader Bar System. The EZ™ Spreader Bar system is a modular system that can
simply expand and contract by adding and removing bars, which piece together with a double pin system. This makes the bars very easy to transport and store. Each bar can be used individually, or you can join up to 5 bars to create a 34' spreader bar. For example, by purchasing a single 5 bar system crane
companies can use one 8' bar on 5 diff erent cranes. The next day they can simply join 3 of them together for another job requiring a longer bar. This versatility results in cost savings as multiple cranes can share a single system with a maximum reach of 34'. The ability to simply add and remove bars makes this
spreader bar system an effi cient and cost eff ective way to manage work that requires diff erent length spreader bars.

American Halo, a domestic manufacturer of hydraulic wire rope swager machines, announced recently its new 30-ton hydraulic wire rope swager. Founded in 2005 by Jason and Justin Fetter, American Halo sees swagers as its new way to bring value to the wire rope and cable industry. Capable of swaging fi ttings onto cables or wire rope, American Halo swagers are Made in the USA and built for fast and safe swaging.
WIRE ROPE EXCHANGE
Patterson Manufacturing, the leader in barge rigging for more than 150 years, recently introduced yet another innovation—a version of the revolutionary YoYo® Barge Winch with 40' of takeup. Like the original 25' YoYo, the patented YoYo 40 eliminates fouling, springcoil, and uncontrolled spooling while saving 50% more time. Costs and injuries are also vastly reduced with the new YoYo. With 40' of adjustable take-up and a brake for safer disconnects (and less sparking), this new YoYo is ideal for tank barges. The unique design creates less stress on your wire rope—there are reports that the ungrooved drum is extending wire rope life up to 300%! The heavy-duty YoYo is light in weight, because there’s no need for 100' of line. The design eliminates delicate parts, which means it’s a tough and reliable upgrade to your rigging.
Faster makeups and breakups, less wear and tear,
lighter weight, and increased safety add up to a winch that can actually pay for itself in just a short time. We invite you to fi nd out how much you could save by switching to the YoYo—just visit our easy-to-use ROI calculator!
Also to note, as of April 2012, Patterson is a member of the Associated Wire Rope Fabricators (AWRF). Patterson Manufac- turing plans to provide one-stop convenience and streamlined inventory management by off ering wire rope along with their other rigging products. They plan to be able to make barge rigging more economical for owners and operators.
“Our interest in expanding into the wire rope market refl ects our dedication to serving our customers and our industry as a complete supplier,” said David Grapes, CEO. “Patterson has always stood for ‘Safer, Easier, Faster,’ and now we have an opportunity to apply those concepts to yet another necessary product. We believe that our customers will appreciate the convenience and savings that come with getting all of their rigging from one trusted source.” y
“We feel our swaging tools will bring added safety and effi ciency
to the wire rope and cable industry,” commented Justin Fetter, Vice President of Operations and founder of American Halo. “Our next swagers in current development will be for larger diameter rope and geared toward the heavy lifting industry,” continued Fetter.
