When a load needs to be cradled rather than clamped, a basket hitch is often the safer, more balanced way to lift it, and this basket lifting beam is built specifically for that job. It is designed to work with slings set in a basket hitch configuration, giving you a stable connection point above the load without relying on hardware you do not need for this type of lift. Available across a wide range of capacities and lengths, it is built and tested to hold up in demanding warehouse and jobsite environments where reliability matters as much as raw capacity.
Key Features
- Basket hitch ready: Two sets of lifting sling hooks come standard, sized for a 2 inch eye width, so slings attach securely between the load and the beam.
- Made in the USA: Machined and welded domestically for consistent quality you can verify.
- Individually proof-loaded per OSHA requirements, with certification paperwork included.
- Built to exceed code: Manufactured to exceed ASME B30.20 and OSHA requirements for below-the-hook lifting devices.
- High-visibility finish: A durable yellow powder coat resists scratches and chipping better than standard paint, and keeps the beam easy to spot on a busy job site.
- Backed by a 30-day limited manufacturer's warranty.
Applications
- Lifting beams and spreader bars for warehouse operations moving palletized or bagged loads in a basket hitch.
- Jobsite rigging where a cradled lift is safer than a choker or vertical hitch.
- Fabrication and steel yards lifting bundled or irregular stock.
- Any application already set up with round or eye and eye slings that calls for a dedicated beam lift point instead of rigging straight to a hook.
