The Machining & Welding 2500 LB 36 IN Drop Side Material Basket gives you a 36 in steel basket rated to 2,500 pounds for material handling by crane or hoist.

This basket is a common fit for construction sites, fabrication shops, and yards that need to move loose or bulky material overhead.

Reinforced corners and rated lift points keep this basket stable even when material shifts during the lift.

Material baskets like this are rated for material handling only, which is worth keeping in mind before every lift.

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.

Good lifting practice starts before the load ever leaves the ground: confirm the working load limit fits the job, check that all hardware is in good condition, and keep the load centered to avoid uneven strain on the rigging. These habits matter as much as the equipment itself, and they cost nothing beyond a few extra minutes of attention before each pick, which is a fair trade for a safer shop floor.

Properly rated hardware, stored and maintained correctly, tends to outlast the equipment it gets paired with. Building a simple habit of checking condition before each use costs very little time and pays off in fewer surprises when a piece of rigging hardware is actually under load.

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