Built for slung or basket picks, the Machining & Welding 2000 LB 10 FT Basket Lifting Beam spans 10 feet at 2,000 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.

A fixed length steel beam keeps this design simple, with hooks ready to accept slings without additional hardware.

A basket hitch is often the safer choice for loads that could roll, shift, or slide out of a straight vertical sling.

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.

Before putting any lifting equipment into service, verify it matches your hoist or crane setup and confirm the rated capacity covers your heaviest expected load with margin to spare. Routine inspection of welds, pins, and connection hardware helps catch wear before it becomes a safety issue. Keep a simple inspection log if your facility does not already have one, since tracking wear over time makes it easier to plan replacement before a part actually fails in use.

Equipment that sees daily use benefits from a quick visual check every time it comes out of storage, not just during scheduled inspections. Catching a small issue, like surface corrosion or a bent component, before it becomes a larger problem keeps rigging hardware safe and in service longer.

The specifications below cover everything you need to check compatibility with your equipment.

Add the Machining & Welding 2000 LB 10 FT Basket Lifting Beam to your rigging for loads that call for a basket-style pick.
