Hoisting & Rigging Systems

Easily adjustable for a variety of uses, these durable chain slings feature tamper-proof assemblies and high-visibility yellow fittings. Chain cannot be removed from the master control plate to assure the capacity rating will not be exceeded. Alloy steel construction ensures strength, reliability, and long life. Meets all OSHA, ASTM, and NACM standards.

Bevel washers are used with eye bolts to correct taper when used on I-beams and other structural applications.

Eye bolts consist of a threaded shank with a loop at one end. When attached to structures such as wood or steel posts, rope or cable is fed through the loop to lift objects. Made of forged carbon steel or stainless steel, our selection of eye bolts includes plain style and shoulder style to resist bending. Available with a hex nut for additional support.

Eye nuts are threaded fasteners with a looped head that can be affixed to a stud or bolt. Made of forged carbon steel or stainless steel, these lifting eyes are used with rope or cable for vertical lifting applications. They may also be used with tie downs and guiding wires.

Our industrial-grade hoist rings are built to handle maximum load capacities and meet OSHA safety requirements. Made from heat-treated forged alloy steel, our selection includes stationary hoist rings; swivel hoist rings that swivel 360 degrees to allow lifting from any direction; and side-pull hoist rings that are designed for side mounting.

Rigging hooks are attached to chains, ropes, and slings to lift and move large loads.

Commonly used in steel mills, loading docks, and machine shops, industrial magnets are used for lifting and moving heavy metal materials and equipment. Powered by rare earth magnets, ceramic magnets, or electromagnets, our lifting magnets are compact, easy to operate, and can be used on flat or round objects without damage to the surface.

Pad eyes have a similar function as eye bolts and eye nuts, but unlike their counterparts, pad eyes are welded in place to create a permanent fastening point. While some types are suited for lifting applications, they can also be used as tie downs or attachment points to connect slings and rigging hardware. Made of forged carbon steel or stainless steel.

Double-sheave pulley blocks and wheels are used with cable or rope to lift or pull heavy loads. Designed for static applications, flat-block pulleys can be affixed to a wall, ceiling, or other firm, flat surface to ensure stability. Made from steel and other corrosion-resistant materials, they are suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

Single-sheave pulley blocks and wheels are used with cable or rope to lift or pull heavy loads. Flat-block pulleys can be affixed to a wall or ceiling, whereas fixed-eye and swivel-eye pulleys can be attached by sliding the eye over an existing rod, bolt, or shackle. Made from steel and other corrosion-resistant materials, they are suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

A shackle is a U-shaped piece of metal secured with a clevis pin or bolt across the opening. They are used to make connections to slings, rope, cable, etc. Shackles are the primary connecting link in all manner of rigging systems as they allow different rigging subsets to be connected or disconnected quickly.

Lifting slings are used with a crane, hoist, or forklift to safely move heavy loads. Our durable web slings and round slings are made of lightweight and flexible synthetic materials. We also carry wire rope slings for environments too rugged for synthetic slings. All slings can be configured as vertical hitch, choke hitch, and basket hitch forms.

Winch bars are used with cargo winches which are securing devices fastened to the base of a flatbed truck or trailer. Acting as a hand lever, they adjust the tension of winches and winch straps to stabilize loads and prevent damage from shifting while in transit. These winch bars can be used with portable bolt-on winches and permanent weld-on winches.

Cargo winches are securing devices fastened to the base of a flatbed truck or trailer. Used with winch straps, they stabilize loads and prevent damage from shifting while in transit. The winch is used to pull the strap tight until there is enough tension to secure the load. We offer portable bolt-on winches and permanent weld-on winches.

D-ring tie downs are used on flatbed truck and trailers to help stabilize loads and prevent damage to cargo from shifting while in transit.

Ratchet strap tie downs are used on flatbed trucks and trailers to secure loads and prevent damage from shifting while in transit. A buckle is used to pull the strap tight until there is enough tension to secure the load. Made of lightweight and flexible polyester webbing that will not damage cargo.

Winch strap tie downs are used on flatbed trucks and trailers to secure loads and prevent damage from shifting while in transit. A winch is used to pull the strap tight until there is enough tension to secure the load. Made of lightweight and flexible polyester webbing that will not damage cargo.

Turnbuckles are commonly used in rigging to apply tension and reduce slack in lengths of rope or cable. Our selection of carbon steel and stainless steel turnbuckles includes jaw-and-jaw, eye-and-eye, and hook-and-eye configurations.

Our durable vacuum cups are designed for automated lifting applications. Paired with vacuum generators, they are used to lift and move metal, glass, and plastic materials, or any object with a smooth, nonporous surface. We offer a wide range of vacuum cups in various shapes, sizes, and materials.

Our high-speed vacuum generators are designed for automated lifting applications. Paired with vacuum cups, they are used to lift and move metal, glass, and plastic materials, or any object with a smooth, nonporous surface. Our auto-release vacuum generators offer single-line operation, integrated blow-off, and built-in exhaust silencer.

Wire rope clamps, also called cable clamps or U-bolt clips, are used to fix the loose end of a wire rope after it has been looped to form an eye. These clamps consist of a U-shaped bolt and a saddle with two nuts. Two layers of wire rope are placed inside the U-bolt and two or three clamps are required to properly secure the looped end to the rope.

Wire rope thimbles protect the eye or loop of wire rope assemblies from abrasion and deformation. They provide a solid barrier and sturdy structure to withstand damage to the cable strands from other rigging fittings.
