Caldwell Launches New Below-the-Hook Catalog



The Caldwell Group Inc. has published the Big Book-its new catalog that is available in print and download options. It is nearly 450 pages long and features the complete Caldwell, Renfroe, and RUD product lines. It represents the first revamp of the documented range since 2016 and replaces the previous green-colored catalog.

Caldwell's Posi-Turner load rotators, Dura-Lite composite lifting and spreader beams, and Rig-Release remote releasing hooks are all covered. Caldwell's RUD portfolio includes slings and lifting points for the most complex tasks for integration into almost any application. Lifting points include ring lifting lugs, eyebolts, flanges, etc., that slings are attached to at the point of use. Renfroe, meanwhile, makes approximately 200 types of clamps, ranging in capacity from 0.5 to 100 tons. They are used for lifting, with horizontal and vertical forces, and nonmarring versions are used in many industries. Every product is supported by updated, enhanced information, while improved usability was central to the overhaul.

Among the hundreds of items covered are a number of notable new products, including the Adjustable Fork Beam (pg. 237), revamped Model 86 Double-Leg Coil Lifter (pg. 68), Material Baskets (pg. 93), new Telescopic Pivoting Fork Lift Boom sizes (p. 229), and new Dura-Mod sizes (pgs. 41-42).

Also included in the Big Book's pages are references to SmartSpec, a digital tool that allows distributors to configure lifting equipment. SmartSpec gives customization options to dealers specifically looking for nonstandard, below-the-hook equipment.
