Built for slung or basket picks, the Machining & Welding 20000 LB 8 FT Basket Lifting Beam spans 8 feet at 20,000 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.

Steel construction and dual hook sets keep the rigging geometry consistent, load after load.

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

This type of lifting equipment is common in facilities that move machinery, structural steel, crates, or bulky components as part of daily operations. Rather than treating each lift as a one-off problem, a dedicated piece of equipment turns it into a routine, repeatable task that any trained operator can complete quickly and safely.

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.

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.

See the specifications below for the exact numbers you will want to check before ordering.

The Machining & Welding 20000 LB 8 FT Basket Lifting Beam is ready to rig a secure basket hitch on your next pick.
