Built for slung or basket picks, the Machining & Welding 4000 LB 12 FT Basket Lifting Beam spans 12 feet at 4,000 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.

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

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.

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.

Full specifications are listed below so you can confirm fit against your current rigging before it ships.
