Low Headroom Multiple Spread Lifting Beam for Cranes & Hoists The Caldwell Model 20 Low Headroom Multiple Spread Lifting Beam is designed for lifting applications where overhead clearance is limited but safe, balanced load handling is critical. Engineered for use with overhead cranes and hoists, the Model 20 provides multiple lifting spreads, adjustable hook locations, and a compact low-headroom design that maximizes lifting height without sacrificing versatility. It is widely used in manufacturing, steel fabrication, precast concrete plants, warehouses, construction sites, and industrial facilities. Manufactured in the USA by Caldwell, the Model 20 is built to meet demanding industrial lifting requirements while complying with applicable ASME below-the-hook lifting device standards. Key Features & Benefits Low Headroom Design Designed specifically for applications where crane hook height is limited, allowing maximum lifting height without requiring additional rigging. Multiple Adjustable Lift Spreads Standard models include multiple hook positions to accommodate various load sizes. 3 ft. and 4 ft. beams include 2 lifting spreads 6 ft. beams and longer include 3 lifting spreads The standard spread positions include: Outside spread Middle spread (outside spread minus 1 ft.) Inside spread (outside spread minus 2 ft.) Swivel Hooks with Safety Latches Heavy-duty swivel hooks come standard to simplify load positioning while integrated safety latches help improve lifting safety. Wide Range of Capacities Available in numerous capacities and beam lengths, allowing contractors and manufacturers to match the lifting beam to their specific application. Standard models are available from 1/2 ton up to 20 tons, with custom configurations available. Heavy-Duty Steel Construction Fabricated from structural steel and finished for long service life in demanding industrial environments. Common Applications Steel Fabrication Safely lift structural steel members, fabricated assemblies, and weldments. Precast Concrete Handle wall panels, beams, columns, and architectural concrete products. Manufacturing Lift machinery, fabricated components, tooling, and production equipment. Construction Ideal for structural erection, equipment installation, and material handling. Warehousing Move oversized loads while maintaining balanced lifting points. Industrial Maintenance Lift pumps, motors, tanks, compressors, and heavy equipment during maintenance operations. Standard Features Low headroom design Multiple adjustable lifting spreads Swivel hooks with safety latches Heavy-duty structural steel construction Fixed lifting bail Durable industrial finish Wide range of capacities and beam lengths Manufactured in the USA ASME compliant design Available Options Customize the Model 20 to meet specific lifting requirements with optional accessories including: Extra Hook Holes Additional lifting positions beyond the standard spread locations. Fast Pins Quick-release pins simplify repositioning hooks for changing load sizes. Additional Hooks Add multiple lifting points for specialized lifting applications. Pin-Type Bail Designed for cranes requiring a pin connection rather than a standard bail. Shackle Lug Available for applications requiring shackle connections instead of the standard lifting bail. Industries Served The Caldwell Model 20 is commonly used in: Steel fabrication Construction Manufacturing Precast concrete production Aerospace Shipbuilding Utilities Industrial maintenance Heavy equipment manufacturing Oil & gas facilities Technical Specifications Specification Details Product Type Low Headroom Multiple Spread Lifting Beam Manufacturer Caldwell Capacity Range 1/2 Ton to 20 Tons (Standard Models) Beam Lengths 3 ft. to 12 ft. Standard Lift Spreads 2 or 3 Adjustable Positions Hooks Swivel Hooks with Safety Latches Construction Heavy-Duty Structural Steel Finish Industrial Safety Yellow Attachment Fixed Lifting Bail Compliance ASME Below-the-Hook Lifting Device Standards Country of Manufacture USA Why Choose the Caldwell Model 20? The Model 20 combines the lifting height advantages of a low-headroom beam with the flexibility of multiple hook positions. Rather than purchasing several fixed lifting beams, operators can quickly adjust hook locations to accommodate different load widths, improving efficiency while maintaining safe lifting practices. Its rugged steel construction, ASME-compliant design, and extensive range of capacities make it one of the most versatile lifting beams available for industrial and commercial operations. Frequently Asked Questions What is a low headroom lifting beam? A low headroom lifting beam minimizes the distance between the crane hook and the load, allowing operators to maximize available lifting height in facilities with limited overhead clearance. How many lifting spread positions are available? Models 3 and 4 feet long include two spread positions, while beams 6 feet and longer include three adjustable spread positions. What industries commonly use the Model 20? It is widely used in manufacturing, steel fabrication, construction, precast concrete production, industrial maintenance, warehousing, and heavy equipment handling. Are custom configurations available? Yes. Caldwell offers optional hook locations, additional hooks, pin-type bails, shackle lugs, and other custom configurations to meet specific lifting requirements. Does the Model 20 meet ASME standards? Yes. The Model 20 is manufactured to comply with applicable ASME below-the-hook lifting device standards.
