Authorized Star Industries Dealer
Ensuring quality backed by full manufacturer warranty & support.
The Star Industries 1160B is a heavy-duty adjustable forklift spreader bar engineered to make lifting and moving long, awkward materials safer and more efficient. Spanning an adjustable range of 12 to 20 feet with a maximum lift capacity of 16,800 lbs, this attachment is the go-to solution for construction crews, metal building erectors, and material handling operations that regularly work with beams, rebar, roofing sheets, and structural trusses. Its ANSI/OSHA-compliant design means you can lift with confidence, knowing your equipment meets the industry's highest safety standards.
Designed to reduce the most common hazards of handling long loads — including tipping, sliding, bending, low sling angles, and sling-induced crushing — the 1160B keeps your materials secure from pickup to placement. The universal "slip-on-forks" design fits both straight mast and extendable reach forklifts, including rough terrain models, making it a truly versatile addition to any fleet. Engineered, built, and tested in the USA, Star Industries spreader bars are trusted on job sites nationwide and are a staple tool for metal building erectors who need a dependable solution for handling long structural members.
The 1160B's fork pockets accept forks up to 7" wide x 3" thick, and the bar pins securely behind the heel of each fork for a fast, reliable connection. A safety chain must also be used, wrapped around a strong part of the fork carriage and secured with a locking grab hook — keeping your load anchored and your crew protected. Whether you're managing a high-volume construction site or a fabrication yard, the 1160B delivers the reach, capacity, and compliance you need to get the job done right.
