Caldwell Launches Custom Lifting Beam with LGH

New lifting beam enables forklifts to efficiently carry longer loads

LGH, the largest lifting and rigging rental company in North America, approached Caldwell with a challenge it saw across several customers. Together the companies created the Caldwell Telescoping Forklift Beam, now exclusively available from LGH.

“We noticed a recurring challenge in the field: customers needed a way to lift and transport longer materials like rebar bundles and piping without the overhead clearance or access for cranes,” said Chris Hyatte, product manager at LGH. “Traditional forklift attachments just weren’t cutting it in terms of reach, adaptability, or safety. We saw an opportunity to create something better—an all-in-one solution that would bridge this gap and maximize on-site efficiency.”

The Caldwell Telescoping Forklift Beam is designed for lifting applications on construction sites, industrial warehouses, or other environments requiring the lifting and placement of long or bulky materials. It improves the versatility of forklifts and enables lifts without the need for a crane. Designed for durability and adaptability, this innovative attachment provides a safer and more efficient way to lift and transport long, heavy loads.

The beam is already in use on several customer job sites, and LGH says that the response has been overwhelmingly positive.

Key features include:

• A spread range of 12 to 20 feet, with nine 1 ft increment settings;
• 10,000 lb load capacity;
• Low headroom profile of just 14.7 inches;
• Dual 5-ton swivel hooks and an optional center hook;
• Easy adjustment using removable hitch pins; and
• Balanced adjustments on both sides for enhanced safety.
