Caldwell Model 32 Adjustable Spreader Beam for Overhead Lifting

The Caldwell Model 32 Adjustable Spreader Beam is designed to provide a safe and efficient method for lifting long, wide, or unbalanced loads while minimizing compression forces on the load itself.

By distributing lifting forces through multiple attachment points, the beam helps maintain load stability and reduces the risk of product damage during lifting operations.

The adjustable design allows operators to modify lifting points to accommodate varying load sizes and weight distributions, making it an ideal solution for fabrication facilities, manufacturing plants, steel service centers, construction sites, and industrial material handling operations.

Manufactured from heavy-duty structural steel, the Model 32 is engineered to meet demanding lifting requirements while providing long-term durability and dependable performance.
