Connecting and Attaching
Forged shackles in anchor and chain patterns, alloy and carbon steel, with screw pin or bolt-nut-cotter closures. Forged alloy rigging hooks in eye, clevis, swivel, sorting, and grab styles, plus replacement latches and latch kits so a worn latch doesn't retire a good hook. For attachment points on the load, Amick stocks forged shoulder eye bolts and eye nuts for in-line work, swivel hoist rings for angled and multi-directional pulls, and welded pad eyes.
Wire Rope Terminations
Thimbles in standard and heavy-duty, and U-bolt and double saddle clips for all standard rope diameters. For permanent terminations, Amick supplies wire rope assemblies with swage and spelter socket ends.
Blocks, Sheaves, and Tensioning
Snatch blocks, standard blocks, and multi-sheave blocks with hook, shackle, or eye mounts. Replacement sheaves for blocks, cranes, and hoists. Turnbuckles with jaw, eye, and hook ends.
Load Binders
Ratchet and lever load binders for cargo securement, matched to chain grade and size. They sit in the hardware category and they are not overhead lifting devices.
Hardware Without the Hands
Hardware is where hands end up during a lift: seating a sling in a hook, pulling a shackle into line, steadying a wire rope eye as it comes onto the pin. Amick's no-touch, hands-free safety tools push, pull, and position slings, chain, and wire rope from outside the connection, so the hardware gets rigged without a hand between the steel. Pair your hardware order with the right head and length no-touch tool, and the whole system comes from one source.
Inspected, Not Just Sold
Rigging hardware requires documented periodic inspection, and Amick's inspectors handle that from the Pittsburgh facility alongside sling and hardware inspection. One source for the hardware, the assemblies built from it, and the paperwork that keeps it in service.
