The Machining & Welding 4000 LB 16 FT Basket Lifting Beam is a basket-style lift beam rated to 4,000 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Add the Machining & Welding 4000 LB 16 FT Basket Lifting Beam to your rigging for loads that call for a basket-style pick.
