Most all imported rigging fittings not produced in the USA or Europe, are produced in China in Shandong Province. There are many factories producing these products and, as a company, we have traveled to visit many of them over the years. We know which ones good and which ones are not. To distinguish the good from the bad, you must know manufacturing processes and you must personally visit the factory producing the parts. The PRO Lift brand was created by Sea-Land to establish trust in a group of products. PRO Lift branded products have been qualified and vetted. There is so much product brought into the U.S. with no brand and no way of knowing its origin compared to PRO Lift branded products that offer a high degree of trust and reduction of risk.
