All rigging hardware is designed to support a load. As such, the demands on consistent quality and dependability are much larger than on most 'steel parts' which come from a multiple of possible sources. As a company run by rigging professionals Unirope has aligned itself with 'market leaders' in this industry. We provide a unrivaled combination of manufacturing- and application expertise which both of our customers can reply upon. If given a choice, Unirope rigging consultants will always recommend a Crosby fitting over any import types (which we also carry). But, the choice is not always ours, its yours. So, before you make your next purchase decision read this:

Engineering Excellence
The majority of quality rigging hardware products (e.g. Crosby, CM) are 'Heat Treated'. The 'Heat Treatment' allows the product to deform if overloading occurs, giving warning before ultimate failure. An 'As-Forged', or non-heat treated product, will break with little or no warning. This is called a "Catastrophic Failure", and is a result of brittleness or lack of toughness in the non-heat treated product (as many imports are) as compared to the 'Heat Treated' product. No matter in what industry you are in, if you are operating a tow truck with a winch line or if you are in the steel making business, ask yourself if you did indeed could afford the 'lowest price' product after a 'catastrophic failure' had occurred. The choice is YOURS!
