Advantage Rigging supplies chain slings, hoists, come alongs, chain falls, shackles, lifting hooks, latch kits, nylon slings, polyester round slings, and rigging hardware for trailer manufacturers, trailer repair shops, fabrication teams, assembly crews, and industrial production facilities.
Whether you are stocking the shop, replacing worn rigging, or ordering the gear your production team uses every week, this page helps you get to the right products faster.
Need rigging gear for your trailer manufacturing shop?
Rigging Gear Trailer Manufacturers Actually Use
Trailer manufacturing means moving heavy parts all day. One crew may be handling steel frames, another may be moving axles, and another may need to position parts during welding, fabrication, or final assembly.
If you are buying for a trailer shop or production facility, you need gear that is easy to order, easy to identify, and useful across multiple jobs. Advantage Rigging helps shop owners, purchasing teams, production leads, and maintenance crews stock the lifting and rigging supplies they reach for most.
- Chain slings for trailer frames, steel assemblies, axles, and rugged shop lifting
- Hoists, come alongs, and chain falls for lifting, pulling, and positioning
- Shackles for strong connection points
- Lifting hooks for sling assemblies and replacement hardware
- Latch kits for worn or damaged hook latches
- Nylon and polyester slings for finished, painted, or coated parts
- Rigging hardware for common shop, production, and maintenance needs

Shop Nylon SlingsChain Slings for Trailer Manufacturing
Chain slings are a strong fit for trailer manufacturing shops because they are built for rugged lifting. They are commonly used for trailer frames, axles, steel assemblies, tooling, fixtures, and heavy shop components.
Trailer manufacturers often use chain slings for:
- Lifting trailer frames
- Moving axles and heavy assemblies
- Handling steel components
- Positioning parts during fabrication
- Supporting welding and assembly work
- Moving fixtures, tooling, and shop-built components
- Loading and unloading heavy materials
Before ordering, check the working load limit, chain grade, sling length, number of legs, hook style, lift points, load weight, and how the sling will be used. If the same sling keeps getting passed from one bay to the next, it probably belongs in regular shop inventory.
Hoists, Come Alongs, and Chain Falls for Fabrication and Assembly
Trailer manufacturing does not always involve a clean vertical lift. Parts may need to be raised, lowered, pulled, held, aligned, or positioned during fabrication, welding, assembly, or repair.
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 frames or parts into alignment
- Positioning components during fabrication
- Holding parts during welding or assembly
- Supporting repair and maintenance work
- Controlled movement in tight shop 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 fabrication bays, production areas, repair shops, 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 Trailer Shop Rigging Connections
Shackles are common connection hardware for trailer manufacturing shops. They are used to connect slings, hooks, lifting eyes, fixtures, and other rigging hardware during fabrication, assembly, maintenance, loading, and unloading.
- Connect slings to lifting points
- Build cleaner lifting setups
- Replace worn or missing connection hardware
- Support shop lifting and material handling
- Keep common rigging parts ready for production and maintenance crews
Check shackle size, type, pin style, markings, fit, and working load limit before buying or using. The wrong connection hardware can stop a production line faster than anyone wants to admit.
Lifting Hooks and Replacement Hooks
Hooks take a lot of wear in busy trailer manufacturing shops. If your team uses chain slings often, keeping the right hooks and replacement parts available can help reduce downtime and keep production moving.
Trailer manufacturers may need hooks for:
- Chain sling assemblies
- Replacement rigging hardware
- Shop lifting setups
- Load attachment points
- Fabrication, assembly, and material handling work
If a hook is bent, cracked, stretched, damaged, heavily worn, 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 shop wants to:
- Replace worn or damaged hook latches
- Keep common chain sling hooks usable
- Reduce downtime from small missing parts
- Stock repair parts for production 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.
Nylon and Polyester Slings for Finished or Coated Trailer Parts
Chain slings are a strong fit for rugged steel and heavy assemblies, but not every trailer part should be lifted with chain. Nylon and polyester slings can be useful when handling painted, powder-coated, finished, or sensitive parts that need a softer lifting surface.
- Handle painted or powder-coated components
- Lift finished trailer parts
- Move irregular shapes
- Reduce surface damage when needed
- Support fabrication, assembly, and material handling work
Always confirm the working load limit, sling condition, lift angle, edge protection, surface protection, and load shape before using any synthetic sling.
What to Check Before You Buy
If you are ordering rigging gear for a trailer manufacturing shop, start with the parts your crew moves most often.
- What frames, axles, assemblies, or components are being lifted most often?
- How heavy are the loads?
- Are the loads sharp, rough, painted, powder-coated, finished, or awkward?
- Do you need chain slings, synthetic 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 shop procedures?

Common Trailer Manufacturing Uses
Trailer manufacturers often buy rigging gear for:
- Lifting trailer frames and steel assemblies
- Moving axles, fixtures, and tooling
- Positioning parts during welding and fabrication
- Handling painted, powder-coated, or finished components
- Loading and unloading heavy shop materials
- Replacing worn hooks, latches, shackles, or connectors
- Keeping production, repair, and maintenance areas ready
A heavy steel frame may call for a chain sling. A painted or powder-coated part may need a synthetic sling. A component that needs to be pulled into position may need a lever hoist.
Production has enough slowdowns already. A missing sling, hook, or shackle does not need to be the reason the line stalls.
Safety and Inspection Reminder
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, 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
- Applicable safety requirements
- Manufacturer instructions
- Shop 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, or required safety procedures.
When in doubt, stop and verify before lifting.
