Crane service companies do not have time for weak links, missing hardware, or gear that does not match the job. Whether your crew is lifting equipment, setting steel, moving machinery, or supporting jobsite picks, the right rigging supplies help keep the work moving.
Advantage Rigging supplies chain slings, shackles, lifting hooks, latch kits, nylon slings, polyester round slings, hoists, come alongs, chain falls, and rigging hardware for crane service companies, crane operators, industrial crews, and jobsite lifting teams.

Rigging Gear Crane Service Crews Use Most
Crane work depends on the right setup. A crew may need a chain sling for a rugged lift, a shackle for a secure connection, a hook or latch kit for replacement hardware, or a synthetic sling when the load surface needs more protection.
From machinery moves to jobsite lifts, Advantage Rigging helps crane service companies find the rigging supplies they need without wasting time sorting through the wrong products.

Chain slings are a core product for many crane service crews because they are built for heavy, rugged lifting work. They are commonly used when crews need durable rigging gear for machinery, steel, equipment, and industrial jobsite picks.
Crane service companies may use chain slings for:
- Machinery lifting
- Equipment moves
- Steel and industrial components
- Jobsite picks
- Plant maintenance work
- Heavy repair support
- Rugged lifting environments
When choosing a chain sling, confirm the chain grade, number of legs, sling length, hook style, working load limit, load weight, connection points, and sling angle.
Shackles for Crane Rigging Connections
Shackles are one of the most common connection points in crane service work. They help connect slings, hooks, hardware, and lifting points during jobsite lifting and equipment handling.
- Connecting slings to lifting points
- Supporting crane rigging setups
- Replacing worn connection hardware
- Handling steel, machinery, and heavy components
- Securing or positioning loads
Before use, confirm the shackle type, working load limit, pin condition, markings, fit, and application.
Lifting Hooks for Crane Rigging Setups
Lifting hooks are used in chain sling assemblies and rigging setups for crane service work. The right hook depends on the sling, the load, the connection point, and the type of lift.
Hooks may be used for:
- Chain sling assemblies
- Crane rigging setups
- Load attachment points
- Replacement hardware
- Shop, field, and jobsite lifting applications
If a hook is worn, bent, cracked, damaged, or no longer fits the application, remove it from service and confirm the correct replacement before using it again.
Latch Kits for Chain Sling Hooks
Latch kits are separate from hooks, and they matter. A missing, bent, worn, or damaged latch can take gear out of service until the correct replacement is installed.
Replacement latch kits can help crane service crews:
- Replace worn or damaged hook latches
- Keep chain sling hooks functioning properly
- Maintain usable rigging hardware
- Avoid replacing a full hook when only the latch kit is needed
- Stock common replacement parts for field and shop use
Before replacing a latch kit, confirm the hook type, manufacturer, size, and correct latch kit match. If the hook itself is damaged, bent, cracked, or heavily worn, the hook may need replacement instead.
Hoists, Come Alongs, and Chain Falls for Support Work
Crane service work may still call for manual lifting, pulling, tensioning, or positioning gear. A lever hoist, come along, or chain fall can help crews control movement when setting up, aligning, or supporting a job.
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.
- Positioning equipment
- Pulling or aligning components
- Supporting field service work
- Controlled movement during setup
- Maintenance and repair work
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, service areas, maintenance settings, 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.
Nylon and Polyester Slings for Protected Lifts
Chain slings are a strong fit for many crane service jobs, but synthetic slings can be useful when the load surface needs more care. Nylon and polyester slings can help with finished, painted, or sensitive components.
- Handling painted or finished components
- Lifting parts that need a softer contact point
- Moving irregular shapes
- Reducing surface damage
- Supporting general material handling work
Always confirm the working load limit, sling condition, lift angle, edge protection, and load shape before using any synthetic sling.
Common Crane Service Uses
Crane service companies often use rigging gear for:
- Machinery lifting and moving
- Setting steel or industrial components
- Equipment loading and unloading
- Plant maintenance lifts
- Jobsite picks
- Replacing worn hooks, latches, shackles, or connectors
- Supporting shop and field service work
A heavy equipment pick may call for a chain sling. A finished component may need a synthetic sling. A connection point may need the right shackle. A worn latch may need a proper replacement kit. It all comes down to matching the gear to the lift.
Crane work has enough moving parts. Your rigging gear should not be the weak one.
How to Choose Rigging Gear for Crane Service Work
Before buying rigging supplies for crane service work, consider:
- Load weight
- Load shape
- Lift direction
- Connection points
- Sling angle
- Working load limit
- Sharp edges
- Surface protection needs
- Jobsite conditions
- Shop vs. field use

Before lifting, always confirm:
- Working load limit
- Sling angle
- Equipment condition
- Proper connection points
- Load stability

Frequently Asked Questions
What rigging supplies do crane service companies need?
Crane service companies commonly use chain slings, shackles, lifting hooks, latch kits, nylon slings, polyester round slings, hoists, come alongs, chain falls, and rigging hardware. The right gear depends on the load, connection points, sling angle, jobsite conditions, and type of lift.
Are chain slings good for crane service work?
Chain slings are commonly used for crane service work because they are durable and useful for heavy, rugged lifting applications. Always confirm the working load limit, chain grade, sling angle, hook style, and sling condition before use.
Should crane crews use chain slings or synthetic slings?
Chain slings are often a strong fit for heavy and rugged lifting. Nylon and polyester slings may be better when the load surface needs more protection. The right choice depends on the load, lift angle, surface, edges, and working load limit.
When should a latch kit be replaced?
A latch kit should be replaced when the latch is missing, damaged, bent, worn, sticking, or not closing as intended. Always confirm the replacement latch kit matches the hook type, size, and manufacturer requirements.
When should hooks or shackles be replaced?
Hooks and shackles should be replaced if they are damaged, bent, cracked, worn beyond acceptable limits, missing required markings, not functioning properly, or no longer fit the application.
How often should rigging gear be inspected?
Rigging gear should be inspected before use and according to applicable safety standards, manufacturer guidance, and workplace requirements. Any gear with damage, missing identification, heavy wear, deformation, broken parts, or questionable condition should be removed from service until properly reviewed.
