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.

Our founder …

History

Jim MazzellaFounder of Mazzella Wire Rope & Sling Company

Jim Mazzella formed a business by providing the most basic of lifting devices, along with wire rope slings that were braided by hand.

Indusco acquired Anchor Wire Rope, Hampton Rubber Company andR/W Connections.

Moses Schloss founded the Industrial Sales Company.

Indusco celebrated its 75th year in business.

Indusco doubled its size in less than six years through the acquisition of another firm also known as...“Indusco.”

1908

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.

1954

Indusco acquired Jacob Gichner Co. This acquisition allowed Indusco to offer its customers a full line of tools. Later, J. HenryHolland Co. joined the Indusco family.

Mazzella became CM repair facility.

Quality & ISOQuality

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.

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.

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.

ASME B30 Safety Standard for Cranes & 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.

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.

Mazzella Warning System

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.

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:

This indicates a situation in which a hazard is imminent and will result in a high probability of serious injury or death.

This indicates a potential hazardous situation which couldresult in some probability of serious injury or death.

This indicates a potential hazardous situation which couldresult 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.”

PROOF LOADThe average force applied in the performance of a proof test; the average force to which a product may be subjected before deformation occurs.

PROOF TESTA test applied to a product solely to determine injurious material or manufacturing defects.

ULTIMATE LOADThe average load or force at which the product fails or no longer supports the load.

SHOCK LOADA force that results from the rapid application of a force (such as impacting or jerking) or rapid movement of a static load. A shock load significantly adds to the static load.

DESIGN FACTORAn industry term denoting a product’s theoretical reserve capability; usually computed by dividing the catalog ultimate load by the Working Load Limit. Generally expressed as a ratio, e.g., 5 to 1.

COMMERCIAL SURFACE QUALITYThe surface condition of the products shown in this catalog. The surface condition associated with the normal methods of production of raw material and machined surfaces. More refined surface qualities are considered as special.

FATIGUE RATEDTested to a minimum standard of 20,000 cycles at 1.5 times the Working Load Limit. Will meet the requirements of the Euronorm standards for fatigue.

ADJUSTED WORKING LOAD LIMITThe reduced maximum mass or force which the product is authorized to support for specific non-standardloading applications.

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.
