Rigging Gear Manufacturing Teams Actually Use
In a manufacturing facility, downtime costs money. If maintenance needs to lift a motor, move a fixture, pull a component into place, or support a repair, the right rigging gear needs to be on hand before the line is waiting.
If you are buying for a plant, shop, or maintenance department, you need gear that is easy to order, easy to identify, and useful across multiple jobs. Advantage Rigging helps you stock the lifting and rigging supplies manufacturing crews reach for most.

Manufacturing maintenance work often needs more than a straight lift. A part may need to be pulled, held, raised, lowered, or lined up before the repair or changeout can move forward.
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 equipment into alignment
- Positioning machinery components
- Holding parts during maintenance work
- Supporting equipment changeouts
- Controlled movement in tight plant 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 manufacturing plants, maintenance departments, repair bays, and industrial facilities.
- Lifting motors, pumps, and machinery parts
- Supporting equipment repairs
- Handling heavy plant components
- Maintenance lifting
- Production equipment positioning
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.
Chain Slings for Manufacturing Facilities
Chain slings are a strong fit for manufacturing facilities that lift heavy, rugged, or rough-use parts. If your team works with motors, pumps, tooling, fixtures, machine components, or production equipment, chain slings are usually one of the first products to look at.
Manufacturing facilities often use chain slings for:
- Lifting machinery parts
- Moving production equipment
- Handling motors, pumps, and tooling
- Supporting maintenance and repair work
- Moving heavy fixtures or plant components
- Equipment changeouts
- Rugged industrial lifting environments
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 maintenance team keeps asking for the same sling, it probably belongs in regular plant inventory.
Shackles for Manufacturing Rigging Connections
Shackles are one of those parts a maintenance team always seems to need. They are used to connect slings, hooks, lifting eyes, and other rigging hardware during plant lifting, maintenance, loading, unloading, and equipment handling.
- Connect slings to lifting points
- Build cleaner lifting setups
- Replace worn or missing connection hardware
- Support maintenance and equipment handling
- Keep common rigging parts ready for the crew
Check shackle size, type, pin style, markings, fit, and working load limit before buying or using. Guessing on connection hardware is a great way to turn downtime into more downtime.
Lifting Hooks and Replacement Hooks
Hooks take a lot of wear in busy manufacturing facilities. If your team uses chain slings often, keeping the right hooks and replacement parts available can help reduce downtime and keep maintenance moving.
Manufacturing facilities may need hooks for:
- Chain sling assemblies
- Replacement rigging hardware
- Plant lifting setups
- Load attachment points
- Maintenance and equipment 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 facility wants to:
- Replace worn or damaged hook latches
- Keep common chain sling hooks usable
- Reduce downtime from small missing parts
- Stock repair parts for 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 Sensitive Parts
Not every plant lift should be done with chain. Nylon and polyester slings can be helpful when your crew is handling painted equipment, finished parts, machined components, irregular shapes, or loads that need a softer lifting surface.
- Handle painted or finished components
- Lift parts that need a softer contact point
- Move irregular shapes
- Reduce surface damage when needed
- Support production and maintenance lifting
Always confirm the working load limit, sling condition, lift angle, edge protection, and load shape before using any synthetic sling.
What to Check Before You Buy
If you are ordering rigging supplies for a manufacturing facility, start with the work your maintenance and production teams do most often.
- What parts, equipment, or fixtures are being lifted most often?
- How heavy are the loads?
- Are the loads sharp, rough, painted, finished, machined, 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 maintenance and positioning?
- Does the gear match your safety requirements and facility procedures?
Not sure what to order? Call 480-502-2225. Advantage Rigging can help you narrow down the options.
Common Manufacturing Facility Uses
Manufacturing facilities often buy rigging gear for:
- Lifting motors, pumps, tooling, and machinery parts
- Moving production equipment and fixtures
- Supporting equipment repairs and maintenance work
- Handling finished parts and fabricated components
- Loading or unloading heavy plant materials
- Replacing worn hooks, latches, shackles, or connectors
- Keeping maintenance departments ready for downtime work
A heavy machine component may call for a chain sling. A finished part may need a synthetic sling. A maintenance team may need a chain fall, come along, or replacement latch kit ready before downtime starts.
Production already has enough ways to stop. Missing rigging gear does not need to be one of them.
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
- Applicable safety requirements
- Manufacturer instructions
- Facility 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.
