TFG12 40’ Tuffy round slings (heavy-duty, olive slings with 66,000 pounds Working Load Limit in a vertical lift), 1-1/4-inch diameter by 12-feet long wire rope slings with 24-inch eyes on each end (made in house!), 120T Van Beest bolt type shackles, and a Miller 110-ton eye hook.

This simple 3/8" x 13' 6" wire rope sling with thimbled eyes has a special addition — rubber tubing to protect it from cuts and abrasion! The rubber tubing is 4-ply from Continental. Due to its thickness, it's not especially flexible. But in exchange, you get superior resilience. Even though its Working Load Limit (WLL) is only 2400 pounds at 90 degrees, it's going to do some tough lifting. #LiftingSolutions #RiggingEquipment #TrusttheLift

Fiddle blocks are a neat piece of rigging hardware for anyone who needs to quickly and easily raise and lower something from below an elevated anchor point — they are used in shops, barns and even by arborists! This particular unit has a 1,000 lb Working Load Limit (WLL). While some people might just call this a block and tackle, the manufacturers call them fiddle blocks (with a little imagination, they actually do resemble a fiddle/violin). They're great for uplift because they have specially designed teeth that allow you to free the rope or lock it from far below the mechanism. With 50 feet of rope and 5 parts of line, you get about 10 feet of lift (with more rope you can increase the lift height). The 5 parts of line result in a mechanical advantage that makes lifting easier — that's to say, less work for the user. The sheaves (pronounced "shivs") have ball bearings that roll very smoothly. The teeth, mentioned earlier, capture you lifting progress. As you're lifting, if you let go, your load stays in position. Still, once you're desired lifting height is reached, or if you need to take a break, we recommend that you tie off the rope to prevent accidental disengagement. Have you ever used one of these? What for? #LiftingSolutions #RiggingEquipment #TrusttheLift

Most people probably think of outdoor applications for portable winches, but this battery-powered capstan winch is indoor-friendly! We wanted to highlight one of the less common use cases here in our warehouse. If you don't have a forklift, but you need to move something heavy, a winch like this may be a good option. For this demo, we used the kit, which includes an anchor strap, 164 feet of polyester rope, a sling to put around the item you're pulling, and a carabiner to hook the sling to the rope. We tied a basic loop into the end of the rope to put the carabiner through. When using a capstan winch, keep these things in mind: - Anchor the winch to a suitable structural element using properly rated straps or slings; - Load the line in the proper direction; - Apply back tension to the line (essentially, pull with the winch) to maintain proper friction on the drum; - Be sure to not overload the winch (remember that the floor will add friction, effectively increases the overall work the winch has to do. #RiggingEquipment #PortableWinch #TrusttheLift

9-Part Braided Slings are very flexible. These slings, 9 parts of 5/8in x 30ft, have a 29.6 ton vertical capacity. Each sling is wrapped with polyester webbing to protect the eyes from abrasion, and keep the bearing point of the braid & eyes uniform. What's your favorite sling type? #LiftingSolutions #RiggingEquipment #TrusttheLift

GrabiQ chain, from Gunnebo Johnson, comes in a distinctive blue finish.
