Lifting America’s Steel Industry for Over 70 Years
Make Your Steel Production and Processing Safer, Smarter, and More Efficient with Mazzella's Steel-Mill-Focused Lifting and Rigging Program
Create Safe, Compliant, and Productive Steel Mills with A Proven Partner
Over 70 years ago, Jim Mazzella, Sr. started making wire rope slings for local steel mills out of his shop in Cleveland, Ohio. We haven’t stopped since.
For three generations, Mazzella has helped steel producers lift, move, and handle hot metal safely and efficiently. What started with multi-part wire rope slings and the invention of the 7‑Part™ sling has grown into a full, steel-mill-focused program for lifting, rigging, cranes, and service.
Whether you’re responsible for an electric arc furnace, hot metal handling, coil handling, or general material handling in a melt shop, caster, or rolling mill, Mazzella can help you:
– Improve safety with no-touch solutions and mill duty equipment
– Reduce downtime with engineered crane, hoist, and quick service
– Standardize lifting and rigging across your sites with a proven steel partner
