A Compact Material Lifting Basket at Full Capacity

The M&W 52" Material Basket With Swing Door delivers the same 2,500 lbs. rated capacity as its long-format counterpart, in a compact 58" overall footprint with 52" of usable interior space. It's the right material lifting basket for crews and shops that need serious capacity without dedicating floor or lift space to a long-format unit.

Swing Door Access in a Smaller Footprint

The swing door with solid bottom gives this material handling basket the same direct load-in and load-out access as the larger model - avoiding the "lift heavy items over a fixed wall" problem even at this smaller size.

Choosing the Right Access Style

Compared to a fixed-side-only basket, which requires loading over the top, this swing door design lets crews load and unload from the end - a real advantage for anything too heavy or awkward to lift over a wall. Drop-side baskets offer a different trade-off, opening along the full side rather than the end; the swing door style used here keeps more of the basket's structure intact while still solving the access problem for most material types.

Built to the Same Standard

This is a full-strength material lifting basket, manufactured to ASME B30.20 and OSHA compliance standards, finished in safety yellow for visibility, and made in the USA. Whether it's staged in a warehouse or moved around a jobsite, it's built for the same durability standard as the rest of the M&W material handling basket line.

Know the Limits

This material lifting basket is not for personnel lifting. It's rated and engineered strictly for material handling.

For shops and jobsites that need full 2,500 lb. material handling capacity without the footprint of a long-format basket, this 52" model delivers the same swing-door convenience and compliance in a much smaller package.
