When it comes to slings, there are two notable types: round slings and webbing slings. For a beginner, these may seem interchangeable. However, there are significant differences between the two. The most common ones are in terms of weight capacity and flexibility...
Spreader bars and lifting beams are both classified as industrial lifting devices under ASME B30.20, but they work in fundamentally different ways.

Clevis vs Shackle: What Sets These Connectors Apart
Clevis fasteners and shackles look remarkably similar at first glance. Both feature a U-shaped body closed by a removable pin, and both are designed to connect components in mechanical or rigging assemblies.

What Is a Turnbuckle? Types, Sizes & Applications
A turnbuckle is one of the most common pieces of rigging hardware in the field, yet it is often the least understood by those outside the trade. If you have ever worked around guy wires, stage rigging, industrial fencing, or any kind of structural cable tensioning, you have almost certainly handled one.

Lifting Clamps Guide: Types, Ratings & How to Choose
Steel plates, structural beams, and pipe sections present a common challenge on job sites: they often lack attachment points for slings or hooks. A lifting clamp solves that problem by gripping the material directly, creating a secure connection between the load and the hoisting equipment without requiring drilled holes, welded lugs, or wrapping slings around the piece.

Lifting Hooks Guide: Types, Ratings & Inspection
Every rigging system ultimately transfers load through a hook. Whether installed on an overhead crane hoist or integrated into a chain sling assembly, the hook is the component that directly supports the load.

Lifting Chains: Grades, Types & What You Need to Know
When an overhead lift involves high heat, abrasive environments, or loads sporting sharp steel edges that would instantly sever synthetic webbing, lifting chains remain the default rigging gear. Alloy steel chain slings resist thermal degradation

Rigging Shackles: Types, Sizes, Ratings & Selection
Every overhead lift depends on physical connections. In the majority of rigging assemblies, the shackle serves as the primary load-bearing link connecting the sling, the hoist hook, and the load itself.

What Is a Snatch Block? Types, Ratings and How They Work
When a winch line must reach a load positioned around a corner or at an offset angle, redirecting the pull with a conventional closed pulley block requires disconnecting and fully rethreading the rope through the sheave.
