Caldwell DURA-MOD DM60-4 Modular 4-Point Spreader Beam | 60 Ton Capacity

Product Description

The Caldwell DURA-MOD DM60-4 Modular Box Spreader Beam is a high-capacity 4-point lifting system engineered for demanding heavy-lift applications where stability, versatility, and load control are critical. With a rated capacity of 60 metric tons, the DM60-4 provides a reliable solution for lifting large structures, equipment, modules, vessels, and other oversized loads while maintaining balanced load distribution and improved lifting safety. 

Designed with Caldwell's proven DURA-MOD modular construction, the DM60-4 can be configured in square or rectangular layouts with spans ranging from 4 to 36 feet. By combining corner fittings and interchangeable spreader sections, operators can quickly create custom lifting frames to accommodate varying load dimensions and lifting requirements without the need for multiple dedicated spreader systems.

The 4-point box spreader configuration helps distribute lifting forces evenly across the load, reducing stress on lifting points and improving overall stability during critical lifting operations. This design minimizes load distortion, improves sling geometry, and enhances control when handling large or irregularly shaped loads. The modular, knock-down construction also allows for easier transportation, storage, and assembly compared to traditional fixed spreader frames.

Manufactured for demanding industrial environments, the DM60-4 is ideal for construction, energy, offshore, marine, aerospace, manufacturing, infrastructure, and heavy industrial maintenance applications. Capacity ratings can be provided to meet ASME B30.20 and BTH-1 requirements, delivering confidence for complex and mission-critical lifts.
