A Long-Format Material Lifting Basket Built for Bulk Loads

The M&W 172" Material Basket With Swing Door is a long-format material lifting basket designed for the loads shorter baskets simply can't handle in one trip. At 177" overall with 172" of usable interior length, this 2,500 lbs. capacity basket is unusually long - most material handling baskets on the market top out around 5 feet. That extra length makes it a true bulk material lifting basket for pipe, conduit, and long stock that would otherwise require multiple lifts or awkward overhang.

Swing Door Access Solves the Loading Problem

A swing door with a solid bottom gives this material lifting basket direct load-in and load-out access, so crews aren't lifting heavy items over a fixed wall to get them in or out. That single feature changes how a crew works around the basket - load from the end, not over the top.

Swing Door vs. Drop Side vs. Fixed-Only

Not every material lifting basket needs the same access style. Fixed-side-only baskets are simple and secure but require loading over the wall - fine for smaller, lighter items. Drop-side baskets open along a full side for wide-load access. This swing door design sits in between: it opens like a gate at one end, giving straight-through access for long material without sacrificing the structural strength of fixed sides on the remaining three walls. For long stock like pipe and conduit, that end-loading swing door access is typically the more practical choice.

Compliance and Durability Built In

This material handling basket is built to ASME B30.20 and OSHA compliance standards, with a durable safety yellow finish that improves visibility and resists the elements on a busy jobsite or in a warehouse. It's made in the USA, giving buyers a domestically sourced option for material handling baskets used in facilities and projects with sourcing requirements.

Know the Limits

This is a material lifting basket - it is not for personnel lifting under any circumstances. It's engineered and rated for moving materials only, not for lifting people.

For crews moving long or bulky material in volume, this 172" material lifting basket eliminates the multi-trip problem that shorter baskets create, while the swing door keeps loading fast and safe.
