Boat yards and marinas need rigging gear that can handle maintenance, repair, equipment moves, dock work, and heavy parts without slowing the crew down. Engines, pumps, hardware, marina equipment, trailers, cradles, dock components, and shop materials all need the right lifting setup.
Advantage Rigging supplies nylon slings, polyester round slings, chain slings, hoists, come alongs, chain falls, shackles, lifting hooks, latch kits, and rigging hardware for boat yards, marinas, marine repair shops, maintenance crews, dock crews, and industrial service teams.
Whether you are stocking the shop, replacing worn gear, or ordering the lifting supplies your crew keeps asking for, this page helps you get to the right products faster.
Need rigging gear for your boat yard or marina?
Rigging Gear Boat Yards and Marinas Actually Use
Marine work is full of awkward lifts. Parts can be heavy, finished, painted, expensive, wet, oddly shaped, or hard to get into position. The right rigging gear helps your crew lift, move, hold, and position parts without turning a simple job into a full-yard problem.
If you are buying for a boat yard, marina, or marine repair shop, you need gear that is easy to order, easy to identify, and useful across multiple jobs. Advantage Rigging helps owners, purchasing teams, yard managers, maintenance leads, and repair crews stock the lifting and rigging supplies they reach for most.

Shop Latch KitsNylon and Polyester Slings for Marine Maintenance and Yard Work
Nylon and polyester slings are often useful in boat yards and marinas because many loads are painted, finished, coated, or sensitive to surface damage. They can help with select maintenance, repair, and material handling work where a softer lifting surface makes sense.
Boat yards and marinas may use synthetic slings for:
- Painted or finished parts
- Coated marine components
- Awkward or irregular parts
- Shop and yard material handling
- Select maintenance and repair work
- Loads that need a softer lifting contact point
Synthetic slings are not the answer for every lift. Always confirm the working load limit, sling condition, lift angle, edge protection, surface protection, chemical exposure, and load shape before use.
Chain Slings for Rugged Boat Yard Work
Chain slings are a strong fit for rugged yard work, heavy shop loads, dock hardware, trailers, equipment, and other rough-use lifting applications. They are not always the right fit for finished or delicate parts, but they are useful when the work calls for durable lifting gear.
Boat yards and marinas may use chain slings for:
- Rugged equipment lifting
- Dock hardware and heavy yard materials
- Trailers, cradles, and shop-built assemblies
- Industrial maintenance tasks
- Loading and unloading heavy parts
- Repair shop and service yard work
Before ordering, check the working load limit, chain grade, sling length, number of legs, hook style, lift points, load weight, surface sensitivity, and how the sling will be used.
Hoists, Come Alongs, and Chain Falls for Boat Yard Support Work
Boat yard and marina work often needs more than a straight lift. Parts may need to be pulled, held, raised, lowered, lined up, or positioned during repair, maintenance, loading, or setup.
Advantage Rigging carries lever hoists, also called come alongs, and manual chain hoists, often called chain falls.
Lever Hoists / Come Alongs
Lever hoists are useful for pulling, positioning, tensioning, and controlled movement in tight or awkward areas.
- Pulling parts into alignment
- Positioning dock or yard components
- Holding equipment during repair work
- Supporting shop and yard maintenance
- Controlled movement in tight spaces
Available capacities: 3/4, 1, 1.5, 3, 6, 9, and 12 tons.
Available lift lengths: 5, 10, 15, or 20 feet.
Chain Hoists / Chain Falls
Chain hoists are commonly used for vertical lifting in shops, yards, service areas, maintenance departments, and industrial facilities.
Available capacities: 1/2, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 5, 7.5, and 10 tons.
Available lift lengths: 10, 15, 20, or 30 feet.
Custom lift lengths are available on request. Call 480-502-2225 for details.
Shackles for Boat Yard and Marina Rigging Connections
Shackles are common connection hardware for boat yard and marina work. They are used to connect slings, hooks, lifting points, fixtures, and other rigging hardware during maintenance, repair, loading, unloading, and material handling.
- Connect slings to lifting points
- Build cleaner lifting setups
- Replace worn or missing connection hardware
- Support dock, yard, and shop lifting
- Keep common rigging parts ready for maintenance crews
Check shackle size, type, pin style, markings, fit, working load limit, and corrosion condition before buying or using.
Lifting Hooks and Replacement Hooks
Hooks take wear in busy yards and repair shops. If your crew uses chain slings often, keeping the right hooks and replacement parts available can help reduce downtime and keep work moving.
Boat yards and marinas may need hooks for:
- Chain sling assemblies
- Replacement rigging hardware
- Shop and yard lifting setups
- Load attachment points
- Maintenance and material handling work
If a hook is bent, cracked, stretched, damaged, heavily worn, corroded, or no longer closes correctly, remove it from service and replace it with the right part.
Latch Kits for Chain Sling Hooks
Latch kits are small, but they matter. A missing or damaged latch can take a hook out of service even when the hook itself is still usable.
Buying latch kits makes sense when your yard wants to:
- Replace worn or damaged hook latches
- Keep common chain sling hooks usable
- Reduce downtime from small missing parts
- Stock repair parts for shop and maintenance teams
- Avoid replacing a full hook when only the latch kit is needed
Before ordering, match the latch kit to the hook type, size, and manufacturer requirements. If the hook itself is damaged, replace the hook instead.
What to Check Before You Buy
If you are ordering rigging gear for a boat yard or marina, start with the parts and equipment your crew moves most often.
- What parts, equipment, or materials are being lifted most often?
- How heavy are the loads?
- Are the loads painted, finished, coated, wet, sharp, rough, or awkward?
- Do you need synthetic slings, chain slings, or both?
- What connection points are available?
- What sling lengths and leg counts does the team need?
- Do hooks, latches, or shackles need replacement?
- Do you need hoists, come alongs, or chain falls for lifting and positioning?
- Does the gear match your safety requirements and yard procedures?
Not sure what to order? Call 480-502-2225. Advantage Rigging can help you narrow down the options.
Common Boat Yard and Marina Uses
Boat yards and marinas often buy rigging gear for:
- Lifting engines, pumps, parts, and marine equipment
- Moving dock hardware, yard materials, and shop components
- Supporting maintenance and repair work
- Handling painted, coated, or finished components
- Loading and unloading heavy parts
- Replacing worn hooks, latches, shackles, or connectors
- Keeping repair shops, dock crews, and maintenance teams ready
A finished component may call for a synthetic sling. A rugged yard load may need a chain sling. A part that needs to be pulled into position may need a lever hoist.
Marine work already has enough surprises. A missing sling, shackle, or hook does not need to join the crew.
Safety and Inspection Reminder
Boat yard and marina environments can be tough on rigging gear. Moisture, corrosion, rough surfaces, sharp edges, and heavy use can all shorten the life of lifting equipment. Rigging gear should be inspected before use and removed from service if there are signs of damage, heavy wear, deformation, missing identification, broken latches, damaged hooks, cracks, cuts, severe corrosion, chemical damage, or other concerns.
Before lifting, always confirm:
- Working load limit
- Sling angle
- Gear condition
- Proper connection points
- Load stability
- Sharp edge protection when needed
- Surface protection when needed
- Corrosion condition
- Applicable safety requirements
- Manufacturer instructions
- Yard or marina safety rules
This page is meant to help buyers understand common product types and use cases. It is not a substitute for trained rigging judgment, qualified inspection, required safety procedures, or manufacturer instructions.
When in doubt, stop and verify before lifting.
