All GENESIS SERIES spreaders are forged from aircraft grade aluminum alloy with a protective anodized finish.  The spreading tips are forged from shock resistant tool steel. The State-of-the-art design provides maximum spreading force and the lightest possible weight, while providing an acceptable margin for safety.

Every Genesis spreader has specially designed tips.  It has five gripping surfaces and three angles.  These angles give a better hold at different times during the spread.  The front section of the tip, with it's ridges, is designed to make purchase points.  The larger ridges are where most spreading operations are performed.  The larger ridges "bite" into the material lessening the chance of "kick-back."  The curved edge of the tip is for paring sheet metal.  The ridges on the inside of the tip are for "pinching" and prying.  At the base of the tip there are large ridges that are in the opposite direction.  These are used during a "crush-down" evolution to help keep the tool in place.

Safety is a primary concern at American Rescue Technology.  Every spreader is engineered to be light-weight and strong.  Strong enough to withstand the tremendous forces these tools produce, plus an extra margin for safety.  This attention to detail provides the rescuer with the safest, most dependable equipment available.
