Whether it’s handling awkwardly shaped loads with lifting beams, securely lifting metal with magnetic lifters, or transporting standard cargo with pallet lifters, our equipment is engineered for precision and reliability. Our below the hook solutions are designed per ANSI design requirements and include load testing verification and certificate.

Our comprehensive fall protection solutions are designed to prevent accidents and injuries, providing peace of mind and compliance with rigorous safety standards.

From full-body harnesses and self-retracting lifelines to guardrails and safety nets, we offer a complete suite of equipment to secure personnel working on or near lifting equipment.

Inspections and testing are the first step to catching safety issues and equipment wear before a major breakdown.

Lift Solutions takes the guesswork out of OSHA compliance!

Our skilled technicians know what is necessary to keep your cranes, hoists, and other lifting equipment operating safely and at optimal performance levels.

Lift Solutions offers one of the largest selections of quality rigging hardware including shackles, hooks and turnbuckles.

We are a complete rigging engineering and fabrication company. We can assemble the chain sling, and manufacture the shackles and straps specifically for you and your organization’s needs.

We are a master parts distributor for all the top brands and our extensive inventory at warehouses across the country guarantees fast delivery for the parts you need for your cranes, hoists and other overhead lifting needs.

We proudly distribute these brands and more.

Our experienced service technicians know that downtime is expensive. Our service team is committed to getting you back up and running as soon as possible. Our technicians are mobile ready and fully equipped with a full complement of tools, rigging, scissor & boom lifts.

We offer a comprehensive range of lifting solutions, including web slings for delicate operations, robust chain slings for heavy-duty lifting, and versatile wire rope slings for balanced strength and flexibility.

Catering to diverse industrial needs, our products ensure safety, reliability, and efficiency in any lifting scenario.

Our skilled team excels in runway structure modernization and design, backed by professional engineers specializing in masonry, steel, and high-end home construction. We offer comprehensive project management, including building capacity evaluation and expansion with integrated crane solutions. Trust us for expertly crafted designs and efficient expansion of your structural projects.

Our training offerings include two key programs to keep you in compliance: one focused on safe lifting and rigging techniques, and the other centered on the operational expertise required for crane handling. Together, these programs ensure participants are well-versed in the theoretical and practical aspects of safe lifting, rigging, and crane operations, adhering to the highest standards of safety and efficiency in the industry.

Lift Solutions provides cordage for marine, agricultural, trucking, construction, mooring lines, stringing lines, ski tow ropes, towing anchoring and more.

See the below information on our braided and twisted ropes

Manila

Inexpensive
Strongest of the vegetable fibers – actually stronger when wet
Low stretch – ideal for applications not requiring high strength or great elasticity
Absorbs water – swells up to 100% of its weight making handling more difficult
Storage – if wet, dry thoroughly to prevent mildew, rot or loss of strength
Very poor chemical resistance

Polypropylene

Polypropylene produces the lowest cost synthetic rope yet finds its way into some exacting uses. Not recommended for rendering, due to high friction and low melting point. It is the lightest rope, floats, and is available in a variety of colors (Yellow is standard). Leading uses are mooring lines, stringing lines, ski tow ropes, hand lines and pot warps.

Tensile strengths – about twice those of Manila ropes
Stretch – about double manila for the same diameter but
better than most other synthetics
Absorbs no water – resistant to rot – no loss of strength
when wet – floats
Sensitive to ultraviolet light – darker colors better than
yellow
Chemical resistance – best all-round resistance of the
fiber ropes
Abraids easily – not recommended for rendering or high
surface friction applications

Nylon

Nylon was the first of the synthetic fibers to be used in
rope. It is still a dominant fiber and finds its greatest use in
the marine field. High energy absorption and strength make
nylon ropes superior for: towing, mooring, pennants and
anchoring.
Features:

Strongest of the conventional ropes
Stretch is about 12 times that of manila and double that
of polyester
Nylon is 10-15% weaker when wet than dry – strength
returns when dry – will not rot
Sunlight degrades all synthetic fibers – second only to
polyester in resistance but better than polypropylene –
protect from sunlight whenever possible
Excellent resistance to alkalis and most solvents –
resistance to acids only fair, particularly sulphuric,
hydro-chloric and nitric
Good to excellent abrasion resistance when dry – less
when wet – avoid grit from penetrating into or between
strands

CWC Blue SteelTM

CWC Blue SteelTM is one of the strongest copolymer ropes
in the market. It offers low elongation and twice the wear
life of standard polypropylene. Constructed from high
strength, high tenacity polyolefin yarns, BLUE STEELTM
offers excellent resistance to abrasion, UV light, rot, mildew
and most common chemicals. With a specific gravity of
0.91, this rope floats and will not absorb water. Easy to
handle and splice.
