Abstract: A spreader bar apparatus provides a bar member having a bar length and first and second bar end portions. A plurality of transverse bar openings are spaced between the bar and end portions. A first bar lifting portion or link assembly is movable relative to the bar and into different positions. A second bar lifting portion or link assembly is movable relative to the bar and into different positions. Each bar lifting portion or link assembly has a trunnion sleeve fitted with multiple links. One or more lifting lines are each attachable to the lifting portions such as to an upper link or lower link. Each lifting member includes an upper link, a lower link, and a trunnion sleeve, wherein the trunnion sleeve has a bore that is sized and shaped to receive the bar, wherein the upper and lower links are rotatably mounted to the trunnion sleeve. One or more pins enable the trunnion sleeve to be attached to the bar at a selected bar opening.

Abstract: A method of making a lifting grommet provides a connector body that is specially configured. The body has opposed end portions and a centrally positioned open area or gap. Each end portion of the body has a bore. A length of wire is provided having a pair of rope end portions. As part of the method, a bore and a centrally positioned opening or gap is engaged with a wire rope end portion. Once an end portion extends to the bore or gap, it is frayed, spread apart or unraveled. As part of the method, each portion of the wire rope is enveloped with a mass of adhesive filler material such as epoxy.
