APRIL 3, 2017 – CLEVELAND – Mazzella Companies is pleased to announce it has merged with FHS Incorporated (Florida Handling Systems), the leading full-line material handling distributor in the Southeast U.S. This merger will expand Mazzella Companies’ North American footprint and enhance its material handling expertise.

Mazzella Lifting Technologies (a member of Mazzella Companies), a manufacturer and distributor of lifting and rigging gear, opens a new branch in Oklahoma City, OK. The Oklahoma City location is centrally located to provide products to oil and gas operations, crane rental companies and general construction.

Harrington selected Mazzella because they met their eligible requirements: (a) a current parts distribution ERP system, (b) an existing dealer network, (c) a dedicated Parts Department, (d) an “A” credit rating with Harrington, (e) a Harrington repair and warranty facility for all Harrington products with at least one current employee trained by Harrington personnel and (f) maintains a minimum defined new equipment sales volume.

When training new students, Larry Petkovsek doesn't travel lightly. Bringing with him four heavy-duty crates of rigging samples from the field, Larry will set up several tables with these examples to provide stories and insight into how a hook, shackle or sling was damaged. To demonstrate the dynamics of a crane or lifting beam, he develops props that show the effects of different angles on the load and how the sling reacts to those effects.
