Rockford, Illinois-based The Caldwell Group Inc.’s concrete pipe lifter is available from 1.5 to 15 ton capacity.

The product, which is supplied with an operator positioning handle, is designed to lift concrete pipe up to 8 feet in length and place it into a trench. However, an adjustable (scalloped) lifting bail allows for level handling of various lengths of pipe and means the lifter can hang level when empty, or unloaded.

The concrete pipe lifter is available from 1.5 to 15 ton capacity.

A moveable bail stop makes repetitive lifts of the same size pipe very easy; users note that the bail stop acts as a guide for the crane operator. The pipe lifter also comes with a laser target holder that allows the operator to follow a guide, which is a common methodology in this line of work.

The lifter is designed to lift concrete pipe up to 8 feet in length.

The product meets or exceeds ASME BTH design category B, service class 2.

• All units are available in stock, other than the largest, 15-ton version.
