Our founder …
Jim Mazzella
Born in Ponza, Italy on January 31, 1922, Jim Mazzella
came to America at the age of seven. He learned the
English language, worked his way through grammar
school and eventually attended Toronto High School
in Toronto, Ohio.
After high school, he moved to New Haven, Connecticut
in 1939. It was there that he and his father, Antonio,
set up the first-ever rigging shop for the Wire Rope
Corporation of America (WIRECO).
In 1941, Jim joined the U.S. Navy where he went to
work as one of 325,000 Seabees constructing bridges,
roads, hospitals and warehouses during World War II
on Guam and elsewhere in the South Pacific.
After the war, he met his future wife, Phyllis. They
married June 29, 1946 in Charleston, West Virginia.
They had four children over the next 13 years—
Jean, Carolyn, Tony and Jim, Jr.
After briefly running his own rigging business in
Charleston, Jim moved to Cleveland, Ohio where he
worked for The Frank Morrison Company. In 1954,
he opened his own rigging shop, Mazzella Wire Rope
& Sling Company, known today as Mazzella Lifting
Technologies. While handling all aspects of the
business, Jim also invented a high-capacity lifting sling
known as the Mazzella 7-Part™ Wire Rope Sling.
Its design is so unique that very few rigging shops in
the world know how to make it.
Today, the company is owned by his sons, Tony and
Jim, Jr. What was once a one-man operation has
turned into 15 locations with more than 350 employees.

It is 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, Jim Mazzella formed
a business by providing the most basic of lifting devices,
along with 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.
Mazzella

Quality & ISO
Quality
Quality is the cornerstone of our success...
Product quality and operating safety go hand in hand.
Jim Mazzella recognized that fact when he invented
the Mazzella 7-PartTM Wire Rope Sling, as well as three
other slings that improved ease of use, increased lifting
performance and safety. This quality-first manufacturing
mindset led the company to being one of the only
rigging shops with ISO 9002 certification in 1996.
That will continue and be the emphasis going forward.
The company has been a leader in training, with all
of its lifting specialists being certified to inspect OSHA
and ASME standards. We will strive to partner with
our customers to ensure the peace of mind that safety
compliance brings.

ASME B30 Safety Standard for Cranes & Related Equipment
The Standards Development Process
In developing ASME B30 and other codes and standards,
ASME employs a consensus-based process that considers
the input of all relevant stakeholders. Due process for all
input regarding ASME B30 is assured and monitored.
The development process is open to public review at
appropriate stages, and the actions of the committee are
documented and completely transparent. The American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) has accredited the
Society's process for the development of ASME B30 and
other standards. The principles of ASME's standards
development process are consistent with those of the
World Trade Organization's Technical Barriers to
Trade Agreement.
About ASME B30 for Cranes
The ASME B30 safety standard for cranes initially
began in 1916 as an eight page Code of Safety Standard
for Cranes. Since that time, the standard has been
continuously updated to reflect technological improvements,
lessons-learned from experience, and present day
"best practices". Today the B30 standard consists of
28 volumes that are reviewed or updated, at a minimum
of every five years, by the B30 consensus committee
whose charter is to develop, maintain, and interpret safety
codes and standards covering the construction, installation,
operation, inspection, testing, and maintenance of
cranes and related equipment.
Purpose of ASME B30
The purpose of the B30 standard is to help prevent or
minimize injury to workers, and otherwise provide for the
protection of life, limb and property by prescribing
safety requirements. They provide direction to crane
manufacturers, owners, employers and users. The
standard provides guidance to governments and other
regulatory bodies in the development, promulgation,
and enforcement of appropriate safety directives and can
be adopted in whole or in part for governmental or
regulatory use (by reference).
B30 for Cranes - Types of Equipment
The ASME B30 standard covers the types of vertical
lifting equipment found in the majority of work environments
including tower cranes, mobile cranes, and overhead
cranes. It also address many other types of lifting equipment
found in special work environments including detachable
hardware for lifting purposes, such as rigging, slings
and below-the-hook lifting devices.
The B30 standard sets forth definitions and guidelines
on "how to" design and manufacture, inspect, maintain,
and use cranes with safety as the primary focus. For
example, ASME B30.5-2007 for mobile cranes is the first
standard to contain provisions that clearly define the
lines of responsibility for each individual (owner, user,
supervisor, lift director, operator) instead of leaving this
matter subject to individual interpretation, and similar
provisions are being considered for inclusion in the other
B30 volumes.

Warning Elements
Below are the basic elements and formats of our warnings.
In most of our warnings, four basic elements or types of
information are provided:
1.
A “Signal Word” such as “DANGER”, “WARNING”,
or “CAUTION.” This word is meant to attract the
attention of the user to the warning statement. The
signal word also identifies the degree of potential
danger or risk in using the product.
2.
A “Hazard Statement” such as “FAILURE TO USE
TACKLE BLOCK CORRECTLY MAY CAUSE LOAD
TO SLIP OR FALL.” This statement is meant to
inform or remind the user of factors involved in the
task or work environment that can create a hazard.
3. A “Consequence Statement” such as “FAILURE
TO FOLLOW APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.” This
statement is meant to inform or remind the user
that failure to avoid the hazard can have harmful
consequences.
4.
An “Instruction Statement” such as “PREPARE
WIRE ROPE TERMINATION ONLY AS
INSTRUCTED.” This statement is meant to
inform or remind the user of the proper
steps or procedures for using the product
safely and avoiding the hazard.
Signal Words
In our warnings, a “signal word” is used to attract
attention of the user to the warning. As indicated below,
another purpose of the signal word is to identify the
level of risk or hazard involved. Sometimes, the signal
word will be accompanied by a “safety alert symbol”
such as an exclamation point inside a triangle. The signal
word will always appear within a box or panel separated
from the remainder of the warning by a border and, in some
cases, may have a contrasting background color such as
red, orange or yellow. The majority of warnings use the
signal words:
DANGER
This indicates a situation in which a hazard is
imminent and will result in a high probability of serious
injury or death.
WARNING
This indicates a potential hazardous situation which could
result in some probability of serious injury or death.
CAUTION

WARNING
SEE WARNING INFORMATION
(SAMPLE SIGNAL)
Throughout this catalog, there is a warning system
in place. This system directs the user to product specific
warnings and safety guidelines, which are located at
the end of each section. In this section, the manufacturer's
product warnings will be listed. There will also be another
signal used to direct users to the manufacturer's website.
There you will find the most current and complete set
of warnings, application and safety information.
This indicates a potential hazardous situation which could
result in minor injury or moderate injury.
Our warnings use these signal words for alerting
product users to potential hazards which can result
in personal injury or death. For hazards involving
potential damage to property, we use other signal
words such as “IMPORTANT” or “NOTICE.”

QUIC-CHECK® is a patented
concept developed by Crosby’s
Research and Development
Department which represents
Crosby’s ongoing commitment
to Quality. QUIC-CHECK®
incorporates the strategic placement of marking indicators
on traditional rigging products to indicate reference points
designed to enhance the safe and proper use of Crosby
products. U.S. Patents 5,193,480 & 5,103,755 and foreign

Type Approved is a symbol
that identifies products that have
been Type Approved by various
third party organizations. Meeting a
standard can be declared as a result of “TYPE APPROVAL”
by a third party organization. Type Approval requires:
1. A TYPE APPROVAL CERTIFICATE that
verifies that the product design complies with
the referenced standard(s) and,
2. A (MSA) MANUFACTURING SURVEY that verifies
that the manufacturing location has been verified
as capable of making the product.
3. A PRODUCT CERTIFICATE must be made
available that verifies that the product shipped meets the requirements of the TYPE APPROVAL and MSA. This product certificate must reference a serial number or P.I.C. and is issued for each
product produced.
Load Rated® is a registered
Crosby trademark that identifies
products that have the Working
Load Limit indicated or affixed to it.
Fatigue Rated® is a registered
Crosby trademark that identifies
products that have proven to
provide improved fatigue life
(fatigue resistance) in actual use.

is a registered Crosby trademark
identifying product that is heat
treated utilizing Crosby’s perfected
