Sized for 1/2 inch wire rope, the Machining & Welding 4400 LB Concrete Pipe Teacup carries a 4,400 pound working load limit for concrete pipe handling.

The teacup shape distributes lifting force across the pipe's bell rather than concentrating it at a single point, reducing the risk of chipping or cracking.

The fitting is fabricated from steel, sized to match standard concrete pipe bell dimensions and rated wire rope diameters.

Matching the fitting to your wire rope diameter keeps the whole rigging assembly rated correctly for the pipe you are moving.

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.

Well-built rigging hardware holds its rated capacity through years of regular use, provided it is inspected and stored properly between jobs. A dry, organized storage area away from corrosive chemicals or extreme temperature swings goes a long way toward extending the service life of steel components.

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