Lift-All® Repairs All Brands Of Wire & Chain Mesh Slings
Under normal usage, wire mesh slings will eventually need repairs. Lift-All is the only wire mesh manufacturer in the US and can perform repairs and re-certify the mesh sling. This service is offered to all sling brands at a relatively low cost. Wire mesh slings are repaired and guaranteed to meet or exceed original specifications.
Our chain mesh slings are constructed from alloy steel end fittings paired with grade 100 chain, which resists abrasion and cutting, ultimately giving your sling a longer life.
