Load binders, also known as chain binders, are tools used to secure cargo to a trailer by tightening it via a chain. They come in various types designed to secure different types of loads during transportation. The two most used types of binders are ratchet binders and lever binders. Ratchet Binders A ratchet binder also know […]
Turnbuckle, also known as turnbuckle screws, rigging, and tight wire buckles. It is a type of mechanical device use to adjust the tension or length of ropes, cables, rods, or other tensioning systems. It consists of two thread eye bolts or hooks with a center body that can rotate, which allows the distance between the […]
Shackles are one of the most common rigging accessories. They come in different sizes to accommodate various load capacities. Therefore, the size of a shackle can typically determine by its working load limit (WLL). Today we will learn about the sizes of shackle from three aspects: the general classification, dimensions and safe working tension. The […]
What’s the difference between an eye bolt and a hoist ring, and what’s the use of them? Used as a lifting or securement point during a lift, eye bolt and hoist rings are the most common types of rigging hardware. Though eye bolts and hoist rings are sometimes for similar applications, they differ greatly when it […]
A snatch block with a hook is a type of pulley system. It has various applications, particularly in rigging and lifting operations. It consists of a pulley wheel enclosed within a housing or frame, with a hook attached to the housing. And the hook allows for easy attachment to a suitable anchor point. We can […]
A grab hook and a slip hook are both types of chain hooks commonly used in various industries and applications, particularly in lifting and rigging operations. While they serve similar purposes, there are some differences between the two. What Is A Grab Hook? A grab hook has a similar U-shaped design to a slip hook […]
Introduction: In the world of construction, engineering, and various industries, there are countless tools and devices that play vital roles in ensuring stability, strength, and adjustability.

Spreader bars are typically use in lifting and rigging operations. It can provide support and balance when lifting heavy loads. They consist of a rigid bar or beam with attachment points at each end for connecting to lifting equipment such as cranes or hoists. Some common types of spreader bar: The type of spreader bars […]
Lifting chains mainly refer to fully automatic welded chains. And they use high-quality alloy steel , which have strong tensile strength. Just as its name, we mainly use them in hoisting and overhead lifting. Moreover, we usually assemble them with G80 or G100 hooks, link rings and other rigging accessories to form a chain sling […]
Electrophoresis black paint surface or Electrophoretic coating is a new surface treatment in outdoor rigging hardware. Its corrosion resistance is more than 12 times that of ordinary electroplating, wear resistance is 30 times that of electroplating. Therefore, it is very suitable for outdoor hardware rigging products. What is Electrophoresis black surface hardware/electrophoretic paint? Black electrophoretic […]
