Pittsburgh, PA Lifting & Rigging Solutions | Mazzella
Your Trusted Lifting and Rigging Partner in Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh is built on steel, energy, and heavy manufacturing. Keeping those operations safe and productive requires a partner who understands the work, carries the right inventory, and backs it with certified inspections, crane service, and training. That is the role of Mazzella’s Pittsburgh Lifting Center.
Located in Cranberry Township, just north of downtown and right off I‑76, our Pittsburgh team supports Western and Central Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio, and the West Virginia panhandle with rigging products, wire rope, inspections, crane service, and training. Our facility includes a showroom for walk‑in needs with a large local inventory so you can get what you need without delay.
Local buyers tell us they value three things above all: availability, accuracy, and accountability:
- Keeping the essentials in stock and can source the specialty items your projects demand.
- Inspections done to OSHA and ASME requirements, clear reporting, and products matched to application.
- A service team that stands behind the work and helps you reduce risk, downtime, and total cost over time.
If you work in steel, heavy manufacturing, construction, or oil and gas, our Pittsburgh branch is equipped to help you solve problems, improve safety, and keep your schedule on track.

OSHA- and ASME-Compliant Inspections
Mazzella employs certified inspectors that can provide documented rigging inspections that meet or exceed government requirements (OSHA and ASME). Our Inspection Division works daily to keep your investment safe.
We provide:
- Rigging Inspections: Covering all slings, shackles, hooks, spreader beams, lifters, and personal fall protection. Inspections are performed by certified technicians who tag, document, and deliver reports with clear recommendations.
- Overhead Crane Inspections: Our inspectors go up on the crane, not just ground-level. We check hoists, brakes, limit switches, and controls to ensure compliance with CMAA, OSHA 1910.179, and ASME B30.2 requirements.
- Warehouse Racking Inspections: Identifying damaged uprights, overloaded beams, and unsafe configurations that put workers and inventory at risk.
Overhead Crane and Hoist Services
Mazzella supports Western and Central Pennsylvania with overhead crane maintenance, repairs, parts, installations, and OSHA inspections.
Our technicians are available for scheduled and emergency work to minimize downtime, and our online reporting system archives inspection records for easy access and audit readiness. For parts, we stock and source components across major brands to speed repairs and preventative maintenance work.
Below‑the‑Hook and Engineered Solutions
When a lift requires a purpose‑built solution, our engineers design and fabricate spreader beams, lifting beams, coil hooks, vacuum and magnetic lifters, and other devices that comply with ASME BTH‑1 and ASME B30.20 design and structural requirements.
Devices are proof‑tested, documented, and supported through the product lifecycle.
Fall Protection Solutions
Whether you are working with a temporary or permanent, vertical or horizontal, or an engineered or pre-engineered system, Mazzella has in-house Fall Protection Specialists who have inspected and installed fall protection systems in facilities across the country.
Our team’s decades of experience mixed with close partnerships with major fall protection suppliers makes us the ideal company to keep Pittsburgh workers safe at heights, regardless of their industry!
Some of our key partners include:
- Tractel
- Safewaze
- Metreel
- Ultra-Safe
- Miller
- Elk River
- DBI Sala
- RUD
We also offer on-site fall protection training for your workers who are exposed to height hazards. Our training meets all of the requirements of OSHA and is performed by an experienced and knowledgeable safety professional.
As more automotive suppliers ask about fall protection and OSHA inspections, our Detroit branch is positioned to deliver solutions that protect workers at height.
Training and Certifications
If your employees require specific training programs for OSHA compliance for overhead cranes, slings, hoists, or rigging hardware, we can assist in creating a safe and reliable workplace. Our trainers are accredited through Industrial Training International, Inc. (ITI) and train to OSHA and ASME standards.
Mazzella’s in-house training is all about the basics of lifting and rigging, getting your workers compliant. Our training focuses on four key departments:
- Rigging Training: Proper selection, inspection, and safe use.
- Overhead Crane Operator Training: Teaching OSHA/ASME compliance and practical operation.
- Signalperson Training: OSHA 1926.1428 compliant.
- Fall Protection Training: From basics to competent person.
- Custom Safety Programs: Tailored for Tier-1 suppliers, construction contractors, and steel plants.
Furthermore, our partners at Industrial Training International (ITI), offer lifting courses geared to those looking for intermediate and advanced rigor.
Thanks to this partnership, the handoff between someone going from Mazzella training to ITI training is a seamless experience. Mazzella Account Managers are also kept in the loop about students’ progress.
Proudly Serving Pittsburgh’s Leading Industries
Steel
Pittsburgh’s history and present are tied to steel. Mills demand durable gear, responsive service, and accurate inspections that do not slow production.
Our 40 plus years of steel mill experience and expertise has taught us that delivery of the right product, to the right specs, at the right time makes a huge difference for our customers.
Our team supports mill maintenance and projects with wire rope and crane ropes, slings, rigging hardware, below‑the‑hook devices, and on‑site inspection programs that fit planned outages and emergency repairs.
We offer the following services to our steel customers:
Exact & Matched Crane Cables – a documented ISO procedure allows us to provide exact and matched crane cables to our steel customers with guaranteed accuracy for ease of installation.
Mazzella Ready Stock™ Program – our Ready Stock™ program eliminates the need for our customers to purchase replacement wire rope inventory prior to a specific need. This process improves cash flow, eliminates damage to ropes during storage, and reduces overall and inventory carrying costs.
Wire Rope Surveys – our team will come on-site and work with your team to assess the critical ropes and cables you’re using on your cranes and machinery. We’ll help identify opportunities to:
- Improve wire rope service life
- Reduce labor time during installation
- Reduce on-site inventory of backup wire rope
- Assure proper inventory levels
Inspection Services – OSHA overhead crane inspections, OSHA sling inspections, and inspections of fall protection equipment and below-the-hook lifting devices
