Save freight costs by purchasing the pipe locally, (especially on very long and heavy pipe) or keep a few different diameters and lengths on hand for versatility.  With Spreader Bar End Caps, you will always be ready to make that lift. Spreader Bar End caps are available for heavy loads and can be shipped by common carrier. They are relatively easy to install and built to last.

Spreader Bar End Caps are proof tested by TANDEMLOC. Also, see our pipe connection sleeves which allow you to quickly create longer spreader spans.

PLEASE NOTE: Competitors have a style with the top shackle hole location designed for a specific sling angle (45° assumed.) This design puts the shackle pin location above the pipes centerline and eccentric to the bottom lift hole. If an angle other than 45° is used, the loads couple introducing additional bending loads to both top shackle hole and spreader pipe, reducing its useable length. Tandemloc’s end caps apply loads to the pipe in a strictly axial direction at any sling angle (from 0 to 89°) maximizing the column strength of the spreader. In this way, the TANDEMLOC end caps offer the greatest possible variety of spans and capacities.
End Eye Cap Specification Table

  WORK LOAD LIMIT (WLL): See table below...
  PROOF TESTED: See table below for test loads.
  CALCULATED WEIGHT: See table below.
FINISH: Painted safety yellow.
See drawing for Notes (see sheet 1)
Designed & constructed to conform to ASME B30.20 & AWS D14.1. Testing also conforms to OSHA 2232.
Standard specification #EAD21000A Applies
Material is steel, painted yellow.
Spreader bar assemblies made up of End Caps and cut to length pipe can be proof tested & certified for the loads shown in the chart below upon request.
Use two end caps, one on each end of spreader pipe for a capacity of 2x the end cap work load limit.
  Use manual #SAC25C, included with each set of pipe caps.
  Because of dimensional modifications, the end caps made after 5/31/2003 may not provide the span or have safety pin hole alignment with spreader pipes made to SAC22P dimensions prior to 5/31/2003. End Caps are available to fit those conditions. Contact your Tandemloc account manager for information
  Each pipe cap has a label with data as shown below and the nominal pipe size it fits. Label may say “Sched 60 wall instead of “Sched 80 wall” depending on size of end cap.
  Each end cap over 8" has one or two D-rings for lifting the end cap only.
   
Please Note: When building a spreader bar assembly using the AC25C End Eye Caps, capacities will be dependant upon using the pipe and span as specified on:

Standard Spreader Pipe for Use with AC25C End Eye Caps (AC22P)

It is the user's responsibility to conform to the span and the pipe specifications exactly as indicated!
Caution: Never use a sling angle of less than specified. NEVER EXCEED THE WORK LOAD LIMIT (WLL) for the pipe, per the span indicated, nor the capacity of the end cap! Failure to stay within these limits could result in lifter assembly failure, leading to property damage, injury or death from a falling load.

STEEL SPREADER PIPE* CAPACITY CHART
Work load limits are shown in tons (2,000 lb.), loads are in conformance to ASME B30.9c and B30.29. Steel pipe conforms to  ASTM A500 Grade B, ASTM A53 grade B, or any structural pipe rated at 35,000 psi or greater and for low temperature service (to -50°F) to ASTM A333/333M GR 6 or 7.
*Wall thickness is defined in chart.

Non shaded region shows end cap assemblies where capacity is reduced due to span and/or sling angle.  Shaded region shows assembly lengths that are limited by end cap capacities. Custom made end eye caps are available on request.

**Top sling lift angle to horizontal
