Rockford, Illinois-based The Caldwell Group Inc.<\/a> has published the Big Book<\/em> \u2014 a new catalog underscored by the tagline, \u2018Below-the-hook. Above the rest\u2019.<\/p>\n

The catalog \u2014 available in print and download options \u2014 is nearly 450 pages long and features the complete Caldwell<\/a>, Renfroe, and RUD product lines. It represents the first revamp of the documented range since 2016 and replaces the previous green-colored catalog.<\/p>\n

Doug Stitt, president and CEO, said: \u201cDistributors have said how much they like having all of the Caldwell<\/a> lines in one book. It\u2019s more than a catalog \u2014 it\u2019s a true lifting industry reference.\u201d<\/p>\n

Caldwell<\/a>\u2019s Posi-Turner load rotators, Dura-Lite composite lifting and spreader beams, and Rig-Release remote releasing hooks are all covered. Caldwell<\/a>\u2019s 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 approx. 200 types of clamps, ranging in capacity from 0.5 to 100 tons. They are used for lifting, with horizontal and vertical forces, and non-marring versions are popular in many industries. Every product is supported by updated, enhanced information, while improved usability was central to the overhaul.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the hundreds of items covered are a number of notable new products, including the Adjustable Fork Beam (p237), revamped Model 86 Double-Leg Coil Lifter (p68), Material Baskets (p93), new Telescopic Pivoting Fork Lift Boom sizes (p229), and new Dura-Mod sizes (p41-42).<\/p>\n

Caldwell\u2019s new Big Book covers the complete lines of Caldwell, Renfroe, and RUD products across 444 pages.<\/p><\/div>\n

Big project<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lisa Sympson, marketing manager, said: \u201cThe initial response from our own team has been phenomenal. I arrived at Caldwell<\/a> in 2022 and, \u2018When will we have a new master catalog?\u2019 was the single most popular question I was asked. There were a few things we had to get in place before tackling such an enormous project, but I\u2019m so thrilled to say that it\u2019s done \u2014 and is gloriously ready for everyone. A special thank you to the internal teams and graphic designer, Angelo Manto, on such a fantastic looking reference for our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also included in the Big Book<\/em>\u2019s pages are references to SmartSpec, a digital tool that allows distributors to configure lifting equipment. SmartSpec is unique in giving customization options to dealers specifically looking for non-standard below-the-hook equipment.<\/p>\n

Stitt added: \u201cWe\u2019re meeting our customers where they are. Some prefer the focus and portability of our smaller, targeted catalogs, covering below-the-hook lifters; construction lifters; mill duty lifters; Renfroe clamps; or RUD lifting points. While others \u2014 sales reps, purchasing agents, and even some end users \u2014 prefer everything in one big book. Of course, others want everything online. We\u2019re happy to make sure everyone gets what they need.\u201d<\/p>\n
