Our rigging products generally come in hot dipped galvanized steel or type 316 stainless steel. Both are excellent for harsh weather extremes, but type 316 stainless steel is considered “marine grade” making it ideal for sailboat rigging and yacht applications and other high moisture conditions or high chloride environments such as mooring, that require marine hardware.
In addition to wholesale rigging equipment and heavy lifting slings for very large boats and ships and other marine applications, rigging products are used in various jobs utilizing nylon slings, polyester round slings, wire rope slings, and chain slings, and any jobs involving crane rigging equipment, dredging, logging and excavating. Rigging straps / marine straps are also popular items for rigging applications.

Shackles Metal rigging shackles can be used as a link to connect equipment in various hoisting, pulling and lifting applications. Designed in a U shape with lock opening, shackles are extremely versatile and are often used to connect wire rope, chain, nylon or poly rope, or lifting sling hardware products. US Cargo Control sells a wide variety of shackles in our marine rigging supplies & hardware line, in different sizes and fabrications, including
