Built for slung or basket picks, the Machining & Welding 4000 LB 14 FT Basket Lifting Beam spans 14 feet at 4,000 pounds, with hooks positioned for a secure basket hitch.

This beam suits pipe, coils, bundles, and other loads that benefit from a basket-style sling configuration instead of a straight vertical pick.

The beam is fabricated from structural steel with hooks positioned at each end, engineered to carry the full working load limit through a basket configuration.

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

Facilities ranging from small machine shops to large distribution centers keep equipment like this on hand for the lifts that come up week after week. It is the kind of tool that earns its spot on the floor by saving time on every single pick, and it pays for itself quickly once it replaces improvised rigging on a recurring job.

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.

Rigging hardware like this sees repeated use, so look for equipment that is properly rated, clearly marked, and traceable to a manufacturer that stands behind its specifications. Keeping documentation on hand for each piece of equipment also makes routine inspections and any future certification requirements easier to manage.

Details on capacity, dimensions, and hardware are listed below for a quick comparison against your requirements.

The Machining & Welding 4000 LB 14 FT Basket Lifting Beam is ready to rig a secure basket hitch on your next pick.
