Daily Find｜Caldwell Model CPP Pipe Pick Concrete Pipe Lifter｜ Other Products

The Caldwell Model CPP Pipe Pick™ is a patented concrete pipe lifting tool designed for fast, safe, and efficient handling of precast concrete pipe.
Engineered for vertical lifting applications, the CPP series allows operators to lift and place pipe without entering or reaching inside the pipe, improving jobsite safety and reducing handling time during utility and infrastructure installation projects.
The compact Pipe Pick™ design makes it ideal for sewer, drainage, water, and municipal construction projects where repetitive pipe placement is required. Its counter-weighted lift arm and beveled engagement edge allow quick insertion, secure lifting, and easy removal after pipe placement.

Key Features

Patented Pipe Pick™ concrete pipe lifting design
Faster and safer alternative to manual pipe handling
No need for workers to reach inside the pipe
Operators remain above the pipe during lifting operations
Counter-weighted lift arm for easier disengagement
Tilt handle simplifies positioning and engagement
Designed for vertical lifting applications only
Compact lightweight design for repetitive field use
Suitable for precast concrete pipe installation
Helps speed up utility and trenching operations

Applications

Precast concrete pipe installation
Sewer and drainage projects
Stormwater infrastructure construction
Utility pipeline installation
Municipal water projects
Civil and roadway construction
Trenching and underground utility work

Product Operation
The Pipe Pick™ is designed for simple one-person operation during concrete pipe installation.
Operating Process

Insert the Pipe Pick™ into the lifting hole of the concrete pipe
Tilt the lifter to engage the beveled edge
Lift and position the pipe into place
Lower the load after positioning
The counter-weighted arm automatically returns for easy removal

This system helps reduce lifting setup time while improving operator positioning and control during pipe placement operations.

Safety & Handling Advantages
Improved Worker Safety
The CPP Pipe Pick™ eliminates the need for workers to climb into or reach inside the pipe during lifting operations, helping reduce exposure to pinch points and suspended loads.
Faster Installation Cycles
The quick insert-and-lift design allows contractors to complete repetitive pipe placement operations more efficiently compared to traditional lifting methods.
Cleaner Pipe Handling
The lifting design helps minimize direct pipe contact and simplifies alignment during installation.
