70 years of lifting

Indiana-based rigging manufacturer Tway Lifting Products is celebrating 70 years in the business, but continues to look for new products and to move forward within the sector. Tway’s 24,000ft 2 Indianapolis plant manufactures lifting equipment using raw materials from Crosby Group, Wireco, Loos & Co, Bridon and Bethlehem Wire Rope. The company recently achieved ISO9001-2008 certification, placing Tway as the only ISO certified rigging equipment manufacturer in the region, and in

September 2013 produced its first 2-inch diameter wire rope sling with an ultimate strength of 370,000 pounds. “Building a wire rope products plant in Indiana strengthened our position with the industrial sector in the midwest and brings another manufactured product to the state,” said Peter Hansen, president and CEO. “There are few plants in the country capable of producing lifting gear this heavy, the same day, and we are excited to be among the best.”
