Baltimore, MD Lifting, Rigging & Crane Service | Mazzella 

Rigging is the foundation of our Baltimore branch. We maintain one of the largest rigging inventories in the Mid-Atlantic, including: 

• Crosby shackles and fittings – Trusted worldwide for consistent performance. 

• Harrington and CM hoists – Manual and powered hoists designed for industrial duty. 

• Synthetic web slings and roundslings – Lightweight and flexible for delicate or general lifts. 

• Wire rope slings – Durable and capable of handling high-capacity lifts. 

• Chain binders and assemblies – For secure tie-down and load control. 
• General construction rigging gear 

Walk-in customers rely on Baltimore for fast, transactional service—the ability to get what they need, when they need it. Our clean, well-organized showroom makes it easy to browse and pick up essential products for any jobsite. 

Not only do we stock the essentials, but we also provide inspections and training that other rigging companies simply don’t offer. 

Baltimore is a regional leader in rigging repairs and inspections. Mazzella employs an in-house team of certified inspectors that can provide documented rigging inspections that meet or exceed government requirements (OSHA and ASME).

At Mazzella Baltimore, our inspections help you: 

• Catch issues before they become accidents. 

• Extend the usable life of your equipment. 

• Provide you with documentation for OSHA compliance. 

• Uncover repair and training opportunities that strengthen your safety culture. 

Our inspectors conduct: 

• 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.  

Every repaired or recertified item comes with proper documentation, ensuring compliance with OSHA, ASME, and customer safety requirements. 

Our Baltimore branch coordinates crane service and maintenance with Mazzella’s nationwide service team. 

We offer: 

• Preventive maintenance designed to align with outage schedules. 

• Emergency crane and hoist repair available 24/7. 

• Crane modernizations and upgrades (drives, controls, safety systems). 

• Parts sourcing and installation for all major OEMs, so you can expect fair pricing and quick turnaround times.

Our service technicians are independently trained and certified for expert maintenance and repair to keep your overhead crane equipment running. Our techs specialize in solving complex problems in emergency situations so you can avoid long downtime.  

While our Baltimore branch doesn’t house a full crane fabrication facility, customers benefit from the national network of Mazzella crane experts. That means whether you need a small repair or a major modernization, you’re covered. 

By combining crane inspections, repairs, and parts availability, Baltimore is positioned as a one-stop crane partner for regional manufacturers, contractors, and government facilities. 

Falls remain one of OSHA’s “Fatal Four” causes of workplace injuries. In steel plants, utilities, and construction, protecting workers at height is a top priority. 

Mazzella Cincinnati supports local companies with: 

• Engineered Systems: Horizontal lifelines, rigid track systems, and custom anchor points. 

• PPE: Harnesses, SRLs, lanyards, and rescue equipment. 

• Inspections: Annual and periodic inspections to keep fall protection systems compliant. 

• Training: Fall protection user and competent-person training. 

• Rescue Planning: Site-specific plans to ensure quick, safe rescue in the event of a fall. 

We can also inspect and repair retractable fall protection devices.

We partner with leading manufacturers to ensure reliability, such as:  

• 3M 

• Gorbel 

• Reid Lifting 

• TUFF BUILT 

• Tractel 

• Rigid Lifelines 

• Safewaze 

And because we’re local, we can provide fast response for inspections, recertifications, and training—helping you meet OSHA and ANSI requirements without delay. 

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. 

Training is not only about compliance. It reduces accidents, lowers insurance costs, and creates a culture of safety. Companies that invest in training see fewer injuries, less downtime, and stronger employee engagement. 

Through our partnership with Industrial Training International (ITI), Cincinnati customers also gain access to some of the most advanced training programs in the industry.  Our Cleveland Lifting Center is also home to Industrial Training International (ITI), the recognized leader in crane, rigging, and lifting education.  

Our local sales representatives can also work with you to schedule on-site training for operators, riggers, and safety professionals.    

Mazzella’s Baltimore’s location in a port city gives us strong demand for specialty ropes—with a full line of wire rope from major brands and a full line of synthetic ropes including plasma ropes for marine and heavy lift applications.

We are a go-to wire rope, synthetic rope, and rigging shop for any company in the Mid-Atlantic. 

We design and manufacture custom-engineered below-the-hook lifting devices, so you can improve safety, streamline operations, and solve your toughest challenges with confidence.
