FORKLIFT BEAM 2 TON W/SWIVEL HOOK

Product Description

The Caldwell Forklift Beam with Swivel Hook is a below-the-hook lifting accessory rated at 2 Ton working load limit, engineered to attach to the forks of a forklift and convert the forklift into a capable hook-based lifting and positioning tool. The beam mounts across the forklift forks, providing a stable and secure platform from which the swivel hook suspends the load below, enabling the forklift to lift, transport, and position loads that require a hook-based connection such as machinery, equipment, structural components, and other items fitted with lifting lugs, eye bolts, or shackles.

The swivel hook at the lower end of the beam allows the hook to rotate freely and self-align with the load attachment point, reducing torsional stress on the rigging assembly and accommodating variations in load geometry or attachment point orientation. This swivel capability improves rigging flexibility and allows the load to self-orient naturally during lifting and transport, which is particularly useful when maneuvering loads through tight spaces or positioning equipment during installation and maintenance operations.

At 2 Ton working load limit, this forklift beam is well suited for a wide range of light to medium industrial lifting tasks commonly encountered in manufacturing, maintenance, construction, and warehouse environments where a crane or hoist is not available but a forklift is on hand. As a Caldwell product, it is built to the dimensional and performance standards associated with the Caldwell line of below-the-hook lifting devices and should be operated in accordance with Caldwell's specifications and applicable lifting device safety standards including ASME B30.20.

Material: Steel alloy

Compatible With: Forklifts with fork dimensions and rated capacity compatible with the beam mounting requirements Loads within the 2 Ton working load limit fitted with lifting lugs, eye bolts, shackles, or compatible attachment hardware Rigging hardware rated to meet or exceed the 2 Ton working load limit

Uses: Lifting and positioning machinery, equipment, and structural components up to 2 Ton using a forklift Applications where a crane or hoist is unavailable and forklift-based hook lifting is required Equipment installation, maintenance lifts, and material handling in manufacturing and warehouse environments Loads requiring hook-based connection that cannot be handled directly by forklift forks

Key Features: 2 Ton working load limit Mounts to forklift forks to convert forklift into a hook-based lifting tool Swivel hook provides free rotation for self-alignment and load orientation Reduces torsional stress on the rigging assembly Improves rigging flexibility for varied load geometry and attachment point orientation Built to Caldwell's below-the-hook lifting device standards

Note: The forklift used with this beam must be rated to handle the combined weight of the beam and the suspended load. Specifications including fork size compatibility, beam mounting details, hook size, and attachment hardware should be confirmed against the official Caldwell product catalog or manufacturer documentation prior to ordering. The forklift beam must only be used within its 2 Ton rated capacity and operated in full accordance with Caldwell's instructions, the forklift manufacturer's guidelines, and applicable lifting device safety standards.
