The new LX PLATE spreader plate is used to stabilize the spreader during vertical lifting operations. The large base plate with shark tooth design serves to provide a stable hold even on slippery surfaces. The stainless steel pin, which is fixed in the chain set mounting of the spreader tips, ensures that the LX PLATE always remains firmly on the ground, even when the opening width of the spreader is increased. The LX PLATE can be used with all current LUKAS spreader models and can be mounted without an additional attachment or conversion of the spreader.
