ASME B30.20, for Below-the-Hook lifters, was developed to insure

that your crane and attached lifting devices perform with the highest

degree of safety for the operator and crew. ASME BTH-1 provides

specific criteria for the design of below the hook lifters. When you

make the decision to utilize ASME B30.20 and BTH-1 compliant

lifters, you have taken a proactive position in

protecting your company and your employees.

Caldwell has the engineering experience and

expertise required to design and manufacture

high-quality, ASME compliant material

handling equipment. For more than 55 years,

Caldwell engineers have continuously evolved

our product line to meet a vast array of

complex lifting applications, including those

specific to wind energy.

Lifting SolutionsFrom raw material to the finished good, many different size and shape

components must be lifted, positioned, transported, and installed.

How do you insure your vital components are handled safely and

efficiently? By utilizing lifting solutions that conform to the most

current industry standards.

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), a not-for-

profit organization and primary resource for mechanical engineers,

has developed the industry standards that affect below the hook

lifting equipment. We are participating members of ASME. Because of

our expertise in designing and manufacturing of below the hook lifters,

not only do we use the standards, we help to create and refine them.
