COVID-19 UPDATE
Effective today (March 24, 2020) Spartan Sling is cancelling all scheduled rigging inspections. Social distancing combined with new information on the lifespan of COVID-19 on people, plastic surfaces and steel surfaces prompted us to reconsider our earlier decision.
We want all of our employees and customers safe. We believe this is the proper decision...
All inspections are temporarily cancelled until further notice.
We can be reached at 519-737-8633 for more details.
Please stay safe, wash hands, cover sneezes, honour social distances and disinfect all contact surfaces.

LIFTING & RIGGING CONSULTATIONS

Awkward Lifts
SPARTAN SLING MFG has been directly involved in many ‘odd ball’ lifts over the years, bringing about safe, simple resolutions to each one. Once again, with many, many years of experience in rigging fabrication and implementation combined with the advantage of being thoroughly up to date with the newest rigging products, we enjoy assisting with these ‘odd ball’ lifts.
Better - Safer Lifting Practices
SPARTAN SLING MFG has been actively involved in introducing better ways to perform lifts to owners, management, engineers, supervisors & foremen involved. The lifting methods presented are based on safety, ease of use & hopefully… increased production.
Rigging Inventory Assessments
SPARTAN SLING MFG personnel are constantly striving to save our customers’ money while increasing their production… never at the expense of safety however. Typically, we find that a shop / plant has an over abundance of rigging during the annual inspection. This will be brought to the attention of management so that they may determine what rigging might be quarantined to replace any rigging damaged in the future. We will also advise how to quarantine that rigging according to OSHA & MOL requirements.
SPARTAN SLING MFG INC personnel are exceptionally good at their job. Please give us a call with any of your overhead lifting requirements… mundane or insane, we will sort them all out.
MINISTRY REQUIRED LIFTING GEAR INSPECTIONS
“All overhead lifting devices shall be inspected & certified annually"
SPARTAN SLING MFG INC takes great pride in the expertise of our inspection team. Every new employee is trained to fabricate chain slings, nylon slings and wire rope slings while working with the owner. Throughout this process, the employees are included in ‘in house’ inspections of rigging materials so that they become familiar with the correct methods of inspection for each product. This method also teaches the new employees exactly what to look for initially according to the industry served.
Once the owner is confident that the new employees have mastered sling fabrication & inspection of used rigging materials, they will be paired up with senior inspectors to assist with ‘off site’ inspections. The senior inspector will report back to the owner on how proficient the new employee is. Based on a positive recommendation, the new employee will be sent to O.E.M. corporations for specific product training & certification. Although it may sound like we are carrying the training a bit too far... We do not believe so.
SPARTAN SLING MFG INC inspectors are second to none. They clearly understand their 2 primary responsibilities… Protect the worker on the ground from physical harm and the 2nd part is taken care of… we have protected that corporation from financial harm.
From the inception date of SPARTAN SLING MFG INC we have never had to call the lawyer or the insurance company in over 33 years.

We have performed many of these over the years and have developed a procedure that permits their project to commence almost immediately. These emergency inspections are rarely performed on a quotation basis or based on a site visit. Typically, they start with one of our inspectors and a 2nd or 3rd will join after hours to ensure timely completion.
