Built for slung or basket picks, the Machining & Welding 15000 LB 16 FT Basket Lifting Beam spans 16 feet at 15,000 pounds, with hooks positioned for a secure basket hitch.

The two sets of hooks let you rig a basket hitch around the load, which distributes weight across four legs rather than a single center pick.

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.

Distributing the load across four sling legs instead of two can reduce stress on individual slings.

From production floors to rail yards to municipal utility crews, this style of equipment gets used wherever a load needs to move safely between two points. Standardizing on purpose-built lifting equipment also makes training new operators easier, since the rigging setup stays consistent from lift to lift instead of changing based on whatever hardware happens to be nearby.

Pairing the right lifting equipment with proper technique keeps a shop's safety record intact. Inspect connection points regularly, respect the rated working load limit, and make sure every operator understands how the rigging is meant to be used before the first lift of the day. Small, consistent habits like these tend to matter more over time than any single piece of equipment, no matter how well it is built.

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.

Details on capacity, dimensions, and hardware are listed below for a quick comparison against your requirements.
