Built for slung or basket picks, the Machining & Welding 10000 LB 16 FT Basket Lifting Beam spans 16 feet at 10,000 pounds, with hooks positioned for a secure basket hitch.

Basket hitches spread the load across more sling legs, which can reduce individual sling tension compared to a single-point lift of the same weight.

The beam is fabricated from structural steel with hooks positioned at each end, engineered to carry the full working load limit through a basket configuration.

This beam is purpose built for basket rigging, saving the setup time of improvising a basket hitch from a standard straight beam.

Equipment like this shows up across a wide range of industries, from steel fabrication and machine shops to warehousing, construction, and vehicle service centers. Anywhere crews need to move a load overhead in a controlled, repeatable way, a purpose-built lift beam or crane keeps the job safer and faster than improvised rigging. Once a facility standardizes on the right lifting equipment for its typical loads, operators spend less time rigging and more time actually getting work done.

Rated capacity should always be treated as a hard limit, not a target, and a quick visual inspection before each lift is one of the simplest ways to keep a lifting operation safe. Make sure your operators are trained on the specific rigging setup this equipment requires, and confirm that anyone signing off on a lift understands how to read the working load limit and match it against the actual load being moved.

Durability matters as much as initial capacity when choosing rigging equipment, since hardware that wears unevenly or corrodes quickly ends up costing more over its service life. Choosing components built to recognized manufacturing standards is one of the simplest ways to avoid that added cost down the road.

Full specifications are listed below so you can confirm fit against your current rigging before it ships.
