The Machining & Welding 20000 LB 16 FT Basket Lifting Beam is a basket-style lift beam rated to 20,000 pounds at 16 feet, built with two sets of hooks for a four-point pick.

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.

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

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

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.

Well-built rigging hardware holds its rated capacity through years of regular use, provided it is inspected and stored properly between jobs. A dry, organized storage area away from corrosive chemicals or extreme temperature swings goes a long way toward extending the service life of steel components.
