A great week of learning, hands-on demonstrations, and industry connections at Caldwell! 👏
 
Last week, we welcomed customers, distributors, and industry pros to Beloit, WI for product training, facility tours, and real-world discussions focused on safer, smarter lifting solutions. We even capped off the week with a Beloit Sky Carp game … rain and all! ⚾
Thank you to everyone who joined us. We appreciate your commitment to safety and continuous learning in the lifting and rigging industry.

Caldwell in the Wild 👀
Built for flexibility. Proven in the field.

This Model BEF-5 Spreader Beam End Fitting is hard at work with the team at Kendrick Rigging, helping tackle demanding lifts with a custom spreader beam solution.

Big thanks to our partners at CERTEX USA in Clearwater, FL, for their collaboration on this project.

We’re almost halfway through 2026, which makes it the perfect time to revisit an important topic ... . 🦺

For 30 years, the National Safety Council (NSC) has recognized National Safety Month in June, and we’re committed to doing our part to keep safety top of mind every day. Manufacturing and the lifting/rigging industry can be demanding, which is why our goal is always to minimize incidents and protect the crews.

Be sure to follow along this month as we share safety resources and reminders from both the Caldwell and the NSC teams. Construction, maintenance, and operations keep us busy. But safe practices help ensure everyone makes it home at the end of the day.

Share your own safety tips and photos with us throughout the month. Get involved, and stay safe and alert out there!

From classroom to full-time careers ... that’s what is all about 🎉

What better way to spend the day than at with Stateline Manufacturing Alliance - SMA?!

Part of the Caldwell crew attended to support our recent local high school graduates as they begin planning their professional careers at Caldwell (shoutout to the SMA team for all of the collaboration!). Supporting and investing in the next generation of tradespeople is at the core of what we do, and we’re honored to celebrate alongside their families, peers, and instructors.

Please give a warm welcome to these three Hononegah High School grads who are jumping into our Rockford facility full-time now:
🔹Emerson & Drew — Welding/Electrical Track
🔹Jesus — Grinding Operator

We recognize the work, effort, and dedication it took to reach this milestone, and we’re looking forward to all the future projects ahead. 🔥

Scrap metal. Small-town pride. Big talent. 🔥

You’d never guess these sculptures started as a pile of scrap metal.

Caldwell was proud to help sponsor the 2026 , where welding students brought this year’s “Hometown Roots” theme to life through creativity, craftsmanship, and a whole lot of sparks. ⚡

In just a few hours, students transformed scrap metal into something incredible … and they absolutely delivered. Which sculpture would get your vote? 👀

Big thanks to everyone who helped make this event such a success, including Weldstar Gases & Welding Supplies Technical Sales Rep, Jake Pederson, who organized the winning prizes; the entire Blackhawk Technical College and Stateline Manufacturing Alliance - SMA teams; Beloit Memorial High School Welding Instructor, Joe Kluge, and Career Academy Coach, Brian Michels; and our Caldwell crew: Amy, Alyssa, Matt, and Michael.

Proud to support the next generation of skilled trades in America 🇺🇸 Excited to see what’s next.

Backed by a growing skilled workforce, quality regional supply chain partners, and a supportive local business environment, Caldwell is proud to represent Rockford to the lifting and rigging industry across the globe.
