Caldwell Model 16-4-8 Adjustable Lifting and Spreader Beam – 8,000 lb (4-Ton) Working Load Limit

Built for demanding manufacturing plants, warehouses, and construction sites, the Caldwell Model 16-4-8 provides exceptional load control where headroom or load geometry varies. When configured as a lifting beam, the single top bail eliminates the need for top rigging slings, making it ideal for low-headroom environments. When rigged as a spreader beam using the outer top lift points, it distributes compressive forces across the beam to protect fragile or flexible loads from crushing damage.

Manufactured in the USA from heavy-duty structural steel and finished in high-visibility safety yellow, the Model 16-4-8 is engineered to meet strict industrial lifting standards while maximizing jobsite efficiency.

Key Features & Benefits

• Heavy-Duty 8,000 lb (4-Ton) Capacity: Provides reliable strength for hoisting heavy machinery, structural steel, and bulky industrial equipment with confidence.

• Dual-Purpose Lifting & Spreader Design: Converts quickly between a low-headroom lifting beam and a load-stabilizing spreader bar, reducing the need to purchase multiple specialized beams.

• Adjustable Top Bail & Center of Gravity Control: Multiple top pin holes allow riggers to shift the lifting point to accommodate off-center or unbalanced loads and keep lifts level.

• Adjustable Spread Width (4 ft to 8 ft): Multiple lower hole locations along the bottom flange let operators customize the spread width to match specific load pickup points.

• High-Visibility Industrial Finish: Coated in durable safety yellow enamel with heavy-duty red shackles included for immediate visual identification and corrosion resistance on the shop floor.

• Standards-Compliant Engineering: Designed and manufactured to meet or exceed ASME B30.20 and BTH-1 Design Category B, Service Class 0 specifications for below-the-hook lifting devices.
