Arlington, Texas — International rigging and automotive equipment supplier Trinity Sling today hosted Columbus McKinnon (CM), an expert provider of US-made rigging products, as it provided industry-specific training on its mobile crane rigging gear.

The CM all-day rigging inspection course was held November 29, 2018 at Trinity Sling’s Arlington, Texas headquarters, and it educated industry professionals on the latest developments in mobile crane rigging gear and its inspection.

Trinity Sling sales professionals are already familiar with the products and changes in question, as they regularly offer their customers Columbus McKinnon hoists, other chain rigging, and inspection services. The sales staff completed training on CM’s new offerings in July of this year. A CM distributor, Trinity Sling is also among the United States companies authorized as a CM Rigging Service Center, which authorizes it to inspect and certify CM products. Trinity Sling’s close relationship with CM gives it increased expertise with and exposure to CM crane hoists and other CM rigging, and it ensures safe load securement with CM products.

Trinity Sling is already passing the training benefit on to its customers. Blesson George, a Trinity Sling sales engineer that recently completed the CM training, notes that “[the training] enabled me to gain more knowledge not only about CM’s new air hoist and other products but about their existing line of chain and wire rope hoists. I’ve already had a great response from my customers; this new information has enabled me to offer innovative ways to help them.”

George and others are particularly interested in CM’s new air hoist application, whose advantages include:

• Air Motors are not Damaged by Overload

• Safe in Case of Power Interruption

• Free from the Hazard of Electrical Shock

• Spark Resistant

• Has Highest Resistance to Corrosive Atmospheres

• Keeps Working in Extreme Heat

With the air hoist and other lifting innovations Trinity helps customers work smarter. As a rigging industry expert and information leader, Trinity feels compelled to share what it has learned about the new air hoist capabilities and advantages with any interested person in the rigging industry. Good information is crucial to operating in the most efficient, cost-effective, secure manner regardless of the working environment.

Whether riggers are

• in construction on a commercial job,

• working highway projects,

• completing factory finish-out,

• loading heavy duty equipment, or

• lifting heavy loads in any other number of outdoor and hazard-ridden environments,

proper lifting techniques and equipment are critical to successful, timely job completion.

Class participants noted how CM products can make a difference in their project efficiency and bottom line. “It helps us tremendously to have training like this so that we can ask questions that come up during a job and otherwise might not get answered. We want to work safe and smart, and time is money, so coming out to Trinity for this is a win for us,” comments Chris Harisis of Gerdau. “I will be sending folks [to the] next class for sure!”

For more information on CM and other rigging and lifting products for many construction, manufacturing, highway, load securement, and oilfield/fracing applications, or to learn more about Trinity Sling’s upcoming training opportunities for industry professionals, please call 817-589-2404.

Arlington, Texas -–  Trinity Sling Authority (Trinity Sling) today released photos of modern, custom architectural railing constructed for Southwest Airlines’ new flight training facility at Dallas’s Love Field–the “Wings” project. The railing was constructed and installed by GST Manufacturing (GST) using architectural cable provided exclusively by Trinity Sling and under the project management of McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. (McCarthy).

Streamlined and Secure

The pictures reveal railing that’s both beautifully modern and low-profile. Such a streamlined aesthetic is well within Trinity Sling’s capabilities. “We manufacture and install architectural cable railing for many different applications. From large commercial jobs like stadiums and highway guardrails to smaller commercial jobs like office and residential stairs and porch railing, we do it all,” notes Bobby Allen, VP—Trinity Sling. “We pride ourselves on providing secure, up-to-date architectural cable solutions to customer specifications.”

Natural Fit for Southwest Airlines’ Wings Flight Training Facility

Trinity Sling has been creating and installing architectural cable railing for a long time. Since 1979, when the company was founded, Trinity Sling’s core business has focused on the wire rope/cable with which the railing is constructed. The company has grown into a centrally-located DFW Metroplex provider of rigging to diverse industries throughout North America. Cable railing is only one of many product offerings within the Trinity Sling one-stop shop. The company also provides other rigging for Construction, Manufacturing, Oilfield and Fracing, Transportation, Road and Bridge, and Tower needs.

The Southwest Airlines Wings flight training facility construction project was a natural fit for Trinity Sling, because GST needed a cable supplier who could custom-fabricate the cables to specifications and supply to McCarthy’s specifications on a grand scale. Trinity Sling was more than up to the task. The facility’s large architectural cable quantities, quick turnaround times, and precision detailing around corners and columns was no problem for the technicians in the Trinity shop. The riggers at Trinity created special, custom solutions for the project that gave GST’s railing the coverage it needed in tight spots that seemed impossible to negotiate seamlessly. And yet, the tight spots were maneuverable, thanks to Trinity Sling.

Dependable North American Construction Rigging Source

As the Dallas/Fort Worth construction community and other industries it serves have noticed, Trinity Sling produces agreed-upon results to specifications on time. The company’s reputation is the source of good supplier relationships across industries, which directly affects customer satisfaction, project partner satisfaction, and the long-term viability of its wire rope slings, cables, and other rigging. Although Trinity ships many oilfield restraint systems, highway cables, and transportation hardware and rigging across North America, the company is based in Texas and satisfies Texas customers all day long. Trinity has capacity to grow as the needs of business dictate. It is poised for additional business that customers require. Trinity has planned for change.

Helping Customers Build to Specifications from the Ground Up

As project needs grow more and more customized, Trinity is ready. As with the Southwest Airlines Wings flight training facility build, the experts at Trinity Sling know that every project is different. The technical team at Trinity Sling is prepared to help figure out tolerances, weight load limits, general equipment needs, and solutions to common project complications. The Trinity group has decades of experience working in the field and learning the rigging business first-hand. Their help enables customers to avoid common problems and get their jobs done quickly to specifications.

The Trinity sales team made sure they understood the customer implications of sourcing, design, new introductions, and potential new applications for existing inventory that they may not have considered previously.
