Sling & Rigging Gear Inspection and Repair

OSHA requires documented periodic inspection of slings and rigging gear by a competent person. We inspect your entire rigging inventory, tag what passes, repair what can be repaired, and remove what can't.

The value is in the records. We build an asset inventory so you know what you own, where it lives, and when it's next due — which turns your annual inspection from a scramble into a scheduled event. Damaged slings and chain assemblies are often repairable in our shops at a fraction of replacement cost.

Common questions

About rigging inspection

What does a rigging inspection cover?
Your whole rigging inventory — wire rope, chain, web and roundslings, plus rigging hardware. We tag what passes, repair what can be repaired, and document what has to come out of service.
Do we have to replace a damaged sling?
Not always. Damaged slings and chain assemblies are often repairable in our shop at a fraction of replacement cost, and re-certified afterwards.
How do we keep track of what's due?
We build an asset inventory so you know what you own, where it lives and when it's next due, and we handle the scheduling and reminders.
Who is allowed to perform the inspection?
OSHA requires documented periodic inspection by a competent person, and that is who performs it.
