It's work that demands skill, focus, and physical presence. It's also work that carries real risk, from pinch points and hand injuries to dropped loads and equipment failures. Every day, workers step into environments where the difference between a routine shift and a serious incident often comes down to the equipment in their hands and the rigging above their heads. That's the work Amick has been supporting since 1958.
Built for the Person Doing the Job
Every product Amick makes exists for one reason — to help the people doing the job get through the shift safely.
No Touch Tools keep hands out of pinch zones during load positioning and rigging. Instead of reaching into the danger zone to guide a suspended load or reposition a sling, workers use a tool that puts distance between their hands and the hazard.
Slings — synthetic web, round, wire rope, alloy chain, and steel mesh — carry the load safely from the hook to the ground. Every one built for what the application requires and inspected to OSHA and ASME standards.
Rigging hardware, hoists, beams, fall protection, and more round out the systems that keep loads controlled and workers protected on every lift.
Made by Workers, for Workers
The equipment Amick builds comes from the same kind of workforce it serves. Certified welders fabricate custom lifting assemblies. Sling fabricators build assemblies to spec. Five certified inspectors — including Level III Rigging Gear Inspectors and Instructors, with more than 150 years of combined field experience — inspect and certify the equipment that goes out the door. It's skilled trade work supporting skilled trade work. That's not a marketing angle, that's just how it's always been.
Every Day, Not Just One
Labor Day is a single day on the calendar. The people doing these jobs matter every day of the year. For nearly seven decades, Amick has built the equipment that helps American workers get the job done and get home safe.
To the riggers, welders, ironworkers, crane operators, foundry crews, fabricators, and everyone else keeping American industry moving — thank you for the work you do.
