CPL-3 C-Hook Pipe Lifter

Product Description

The Caldwell CPL-3 C-Hook Pipe Lifter is a below-the-hook lifting device engineered for the efficient lifting and handling of pipe in industrial, fabrication, and construction environments. The C-hook design allows the hook to be inserted through the bore of the pipe, supporting the pipe from the inside and enabling stable, balanced lifting without the need for slings, chains, or external rigging wrapped around the pipe exterior. This makes the CPL-3 particularly well suited for handling pipe in horizontal orientations where maintaining pipe alignment and preventing surface damage are important operational considerations.

The C-hook configuration provides a simple and efficient attachment method that allows for quick engagement and release of the pipe, improving handling throughput in operations involving frequent pipe movement such as pipe fabrication, storage yard handling, loading and unloading, and pipe spool assembly. The internal bore support distributes the load across the pipe wall at the contact points, reducing the risk of surface damage or deformation that can occur with external sling-based rigging on finished or coated pipe.

As a Caldwell product, the CPL-3 is built to the dimensional and performance standards associated with the Caldwell line of below-the-hook lifting devices. It should be used only on pipe within its rated capacity and compatible pipe bore diameter range, and operated in accordance with Caldwell's specifications and applicable below-the-hook lifting device standards including ASME B30.20.

Material: Steel alloy

Compatible With: Pipe within the CPL-3 rated capacity and compatible bore diameter range Overhead crane and hoist systems rated to meet or exceed the CPL-3 working load limit Standard crane hooks compatible with the CPL-3 bail or shackle connection

Uses: Horizontal lifting and handling of pipe in fabrication, construction, and storage yard environments Pipe loading, unloading, and intra-facility transport operations Pipe spool assembly and positioning applications Applications requiring internal bore support to prevent exterior pipe surface damage

Key Features: C-hook design supports pipe from the inside bore for stable, balanced horizontal lifting Eliminates the need for external slings or chains wrapped around the pipe Quick engagement and release for efficient pipe handling workflows Reduces risk of surface damage or deformation on finished or coated pipe Built to Caldwell's below-the-hook lifting device standards CPL-3 model designation within the Caldwell pipe lifter series

Note: Specifications including working load limit, compatible pipe bore diameter range, compatible pipe sizes, and attachment hardware details should be confirmed against the official Caldwell product catalog or manufacturer documentation prior to ordering. The pipe lifter must only be used on pipe within its rated compatibility range and operated in full accordance with Caldwell's instructions and applicable lifting device safety standards.
