Overhead Cranes for Cleveland and Akron’s Industrial, Manufacturing, Fabrication, and Steel Industries

With manufacturing continuing to drive much of the economic growth in the Cleveland, Akron / Canton, and Columbus markets, Ohio business owners understand they have to continue to invest in reliable equipment that will help drive production and continue to grow their business. Partnering with an overhead crane manufacturer is a big decision and one that shouldn’t be taken lightly. The design, manufacturing, and installation of an overhead crane is a big project and can be a substantial investment—but, a necessary one if you want to improve your company’s efficiency and workflows.

Mazzella is headquartered in Cleveland, OH and offers turnkey overhead crane systems and custom below-the-hook lifting devices. We engineer, fabricate, and install world class lifting solutions—including everything from light-duty jib and workstation cranes, large-capacity double box girder systems, to lifting devices like spreader beams, lifting tongs, and c-hooks.

Today, there are thousands of our crane systems throughout the United States and abroad—all done in full compliance with CMAA, NEC, OSHA, and ASME standards. Since every business is unique, and no two cranes are alike, we offer free quotes and consultations for overhead crane and material lifting projects.

Our team of local and highly-experienced Crane Specialists, Engineers, and Estimators can help you design and specify a cost-effective crane system for your facility, production or budgetary needs.

We specialize in the design and installation of:

Mazzella Steel Mill Program

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…saves our customers a lot of time and money.

This is why we carry a significant amount of customer-specific inventory to meet the unique wire rope applications for individual cranes and equipment in each of our steel customers’ facilities. When critical equipment goes down, we offer 24/7 emergency responsiveness for critical crane cables.

We also offer the following value-added 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.

  • Improve wire rope service life
  • Reduce labor time during installation

Cleveland and Columbus Certified Rigging Inspections

OSHA 1910.184 and ASME B30.9 require that all lifting slings, fastenings, and attachments shall be inspected for damage or defects by a competent person designated by the employer.

Mazzella employs certified inspectors that can provide documented rigging inspections that meet or exceed government requirements (OSHA and ASME). We also provide personal fall protection inspections, inspections of below-the-hook lifting devices, and basic level NDT inspections to support our visual inspections.

Rigging Training, Overhead Crane Training, and Lift Planning

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.

About Mazzella

It’s useful to understand where you’ve been before deciding where you want to go. Our history has served as a foundation of who we are, what we believe and what we value. Back in 1954, James Mazzella formed a business in Cleveland, Ohio by providing the most basic of lifting devices; wire rope slings that were braided by hand. It wasn’t the cleanest and certainly not the easiest job around – but it was fundamental to the industry. This gut-level standard of performance defined the company in 1954 and it defines the company to this day.

From the shop floor to the front office, every employee knows and understands the no-excuses, customer-first mentality that is threaded throughout the company. In every customer interaction, we instill confidence and comfort. Today, the company has grown organically by expanding its product offerings and by entering new markets. It has done so by securing new customers and nurturing those historic relationships. And it has grown by acquisition.

Mazzella is headquartered in Cleveland, OH—south of downtown and right next to Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport. The Cleveland facility is close to 120,000 square feet in size, and provides local and national customers with all of our product and service offerings.

Some of our capabilities include:

• In-house engineering and fabrication of light-duty to heavy-duty overhead crane systems and custom below-the-hook lifting devices
