RIGGING HARDWARE EXPLAINED
Shackles are used to connect lifting devices, ropes, and chains. Often used with slings, chains, and ropes to create secure connections in lifting and rigging setups.
Hooks are designed to securely hold loads during lifting and moving operations. Includes crane hooks, hoist hooks, and sling hooks, which are used with cranes, hoists, and various sling types for lifting heavy loads.
Wire rope clips are used to make eyelets in wire rope or to join two wire ropes together. Essential for wire rope terminations, often used with wire rope slings and assemblies to form secure loops and connections.
Swivels prevent rope twisting and kinking during lifting operations by allowing the rope to rotate. Commonly used with wire ropes and chains in lifting setups where rotation of the load or rigging is necessary.
Plate clamps are designed to lift and turn plates and other flat materials securely. Used with crane hooks and other lifting devices to handle steel plates, sheets, and other flat materials safely.
Snatch blocks increase the lifting or pulling capacity of winches and hoists while changing the direction of a rope with minimal friction. Used with wire ropes and winches to change the direction of a pull or lift heavy objects efficiently.
Crane hooks are built to manage heavy loads, featuring durable sheaves and hooks for high-capacity lifting tasks. Essential for use with cranes and heavy lifting equipment to provide secure and reliable lifting solutions.
FAQ of RIGGING HARDWARE
What is Rigging Hardware
Rigging hardware covers the metal components you use to connect, lift, control, and secure heavy loads during hoisting and material handling. You rely on rigging hardware when cranes, hoists, winches, or lifting frames move steel, machines, containers, or structures. You choose each piece based on load weight, lift angle, connection type, and safety margin. Our rigging hardware comes from controlled forging and machining so you get predictable strength on every lift. You reduce downtime and risk when you match the right hardware to your lift plan.
Types of Rigging Hardware
Rigging hardware includes multiple product categories, each designed for a specific lifting role. Selection depends on how the load attaches, how force transfers, and how movement occurs during the lift. Manufacturing control ensures consistent strength across every type so mixed hardware performs as one system.
Primary categories
Shackles for connections
Hooks for fast attachment
Chains for rugged lifting
Turnbuckles for tension control
Swivels for rotation management
Plate clamps for flat steel
Beam clamps for structural beams
Snatch blocks for rope direction
How frequently should slings and rigging hardware be inspected?
Inspection frequency determines lifting safety and equipment lifespan. Rigging hardware requires checks before use and throughout its service life to detect wear, deformation, or cracking. Regular inspection prevents sudden failure and unplanned downtime. Manufacturer markings and traceability simplify inspection records and maintenance planning.
Recommended inspection practice
Visual checks before use
Routine inspections during service
Detailed reviews at set intervals
Immediate removal when damage appears
Which rigging hardware is designed for vertical pulls?
Vertical lifting places direct force on gripping and load-bearing components. Hardware designed for vertical pulls locks or tightens under tension to prevent slip. Manufacturing accuracy ensures jaw geometry and surface hardness support stable lifting during straight-line hoists.
Vertical plate clamps
Eye hooks
Screw pin shackles
Lifting lugs
Rated chain slings
Rigging Hardware Inspection Requirements
Inspection requirements focus on load areas, connection points, and moving parts. Rigging hardware must show clear markings and maintain original shape to remain in service. Manufacturer traceability supports compliance checks and long-term equipment management.
Inspection focus points
Cracks or deformation
Pin and jaw alignment
Wear on hooks and sheaves
Chain elongation
Legible load markings
