Typical Lifting & Rigging Components We Customize
Forged Hooks
Custom forged hooks with high-strength steel, suitable for heavy duty industrial applications. Customizable in size, throat opening, and material.
Forged Shackles
Bow and D-shackles forged for extreme durability. Custom pin types and wide-body designs available for specific rigging setups.
Forged Eye Bolts
Precision forged and machined. We offer custom thread sizes and stem lengths, adhering to strict shoulder pattern standards for angular lifting.
Forged Eye Nuts
We supply anchorage points forged from Carbon or Alloy steel for superior tensile strength. Custom threads and oversized dimensions available.
Forged Turnbuckles
We can manufacture Jaw-Jaw, Eye-Eye, or Hook-Eye configurations. Forged bodies and machined ends for smooth adjustability and heavy tensioning.
Forged Swivels
Designed to prevent wire rope twisting. We combine precision forging with CNC machining to ensure smooth rotation under load.
Forged Cable Clamp
We forge the clamp base with close-die forging, offering significantly higher holding power and resistance to deformation compared to malleable iron clips.
Forged Connecting Links
Through forging, we fabricate the critical link in your chain. Hammerlocks, Master Links, and Coupling Links forged for varying chain sizes and working load limits.
Why Forge for Lifting & Rigging Hardware
Superior Strength
Forging refines the grain flow of lifting component, resulting in better strength and fatigue resistance under high load.
Optimized Internal Defects
Through heat and high pressure, forging can eliminates cavaties and pockets inside metal, which is crucial for safe lifting applications.
Controlled Mechanical Properties
The physical properties of forged lifting parts can be controlled by proper heat-treatment to achieve the desired hardness and tensile strength.
Cost-Effective Mass Production
Close-die forging offers higher production speed and lower material waste, making it a cost-effective process for medium to high-volume production.
HDC Core Capabilities
Why choose HDC for your custom rigging parts project? Here is the answer.
Close-Die Forging
