Tway Lifting Products has a reputation of friendly intelligent service, honesty and reliability going back to 1945. We are Indiana’s premier rigging loft and material handling equipment service center. We are centrally located in downtown Indianapolis. Tway Lifting Products is the areas oldest rigging house with the largest inventory of fiber ropes, wire ropes, shackles, turnbuckles, eye bolts, blocks, chains, tie-downs, binders, web slings, pipe lifters, and wire rope slings in stock. We carry a full line of parts and offer emergency and evening availability at standard rates. We are proud to be an equipment supplier for both the Indianapolis Colts Lucas Oil Stadium and the Dallas Cowboys Stadium. With a combined value of nearly 2 billion dollars these state of the art facilities were the largest built in recent history. Tway Lifting Products was chosen to deliver specially manufactured wire rope and fittings on a tight schedule, under budget and on time. Our performance has earned us an excellent reputation in the football stadium, motor speedway, and entertainment industries. 70 years old, Tway Lifting Products has recently achieved ISO9001-2008 certification. This accomplishment positions Tway as the only ISO certified rigging equipment manufacturer in the region. In September we produced our first 2 inch diameter Wire Rope Sling with an ultimate strength of 370,000 pounds. Wire Rope Slings have been used in manufacturing and construction to lift machinery and building products as well as in steel mill operations for over a century. Providing the highest quality product of this size required Tway Lifting Products to make significant investments in personnel, capital equipment and training at their Indianapolis, Indiana location. The 24,000 foot plant manufactures Certified Lifting Equipment from USA-Made raw materials by The Crosby Group, Wireco, Loos & Co., Bridon and Bethlehem Wire Rope. “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. 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.” – Peter Hansen President & CEO Tway Lifting Products
