premier rigging loft and material handling equipment service
center. We are centrally located in downtown Indianapolis.
The Tway Company 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

Wire Rope Slings and Bridles
We stock a full line of mechanically spliced wire rope slings in sizes
ranging from 3/8” through 1 ¼”. We also offer custom fabricated
wire rope products with forks, eyes, and threaded studs. These
are individually quoted items, please call for price and delivery.
Wire Rope
Since 1945 The Tway Company has been Indiana’s premiere
supplier of wire rope. We inventory running lengths of rope 1/32”
through 1 5/8” in bright steel and stainless to suit a number of
construction and industrial related activities. Most commonly wire
rope is used as main hoisting lines on construction cranes and in
mining operations. Additional uses include ladle cranes in steel
mills, as well as control cables for power equipment. Your
equipment requires wire rope made to exact specifications for
rotation resistance and strength, and as the area’s most
experienced rigging shop we have the staff available to help you
find the right rope for the job.

Welded Chains
We are among a select group of distributors in the United States that are trusted by the chain
companies to perform welding of new and reconditioned alloy steel chains. To facilitate this
achievement The Peerless Chain Company has made significant equipment investments in our
Indianapolis operation. This partnership with Peerless Chain allows The Tway Company to best serve
our construction and industrial customers located in Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee and
the Southeast.
With inventory on hand and testing equipment in house we service most chain types from 9/32”
through 1” the same day if required.
Chain welding is very specialized and requires link heat treating and tempering prior to proof testing
and certification. Whether we are building Grade 63, 80 or Grade 100 sling chains it is imperative that
welding and heat treating are performed to exacting standards to insure a safe and durable product.
The Tway Company employs certified welders, certified inspectors, and uses state of the art welding
and heat treating equipment to properly build or repair your chains onsite. Finally, Hydraulic Proof
Load Testing is performed on every sling chain as a final quality check of the entire assembly. Each
alloy sling chain also bears a unique serial number that is referenced on a Certificate of Test. This
certificate lists the chain type and working load as well as the actual proof load the chain was subjected
to after assembly.
Our quality products and professional people have made us the area leader in rigging equipment and
contractor supplies for over 62 years. Ask any rigger and he will tell you “If you want the Good Stuff,
go to Tway”.
OUR CRAFTSMENT BUILD THOUSANDS OF CHAIN SLINGS EVERY YEAR… BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT
ONE IS YOURS!
WE LOAD TEST EVERY CHAIN WE BUILD TO INSURE THE QUALITY YOU HAVE COME TO EXPECT FROM
THE RIGGING EQUIPMENT LEADER IN INDIANA SINCE 1945.

PEER-ALLOY:
Rugged, versatile, high strength, low weight chain
manufactured from a special analysis alloy steel. Peer-Alloy
has a comparatively high carbon content as well as
containing various other alloying elements. The chain is
quenched and tempered before the proof testing. The
ultimate tensile strength of alloy chain is over twice that of
ordinary steel chain. The chain is marked to identify grade
and manufacturer. These are the only chains recommended
for use in over-head lifting applications. Minimum
elongation at break test 20%. Tensile strength following
heat treatment meets or exceeds all existing OHSA,
government, NACM and ASTM specification requirements.
Regularly supplied in Black Protective Finish. Also available
in Silver Shield, a cold zinc process equal in protection to
hot dip galvanizing.

What is a synthetic roundsling?
It is an endless synthetic sling made from a continuous loop of polyester yarn covered by a double wall
tubular jacket. The roundsling body can also be compared to sling webbing with the tubular jacket face
yarns woven without binder yarns; this allows the core yarns to move independently within the jacket.
Made from bulked nylon fibers, the double wall Tufhide jacket offers better abrasion resistance for our
larger capacity Tuflex (EN360 and larger). In addition, Tufhide reduces the heat buildup that can
damage other high capacity roundslings when used in a choker hitch.
Promotes Safety
Light weight reduces fatigue and strain on riggers
Synthetic materials won’t cut hands
Consistant matched lengths for better multiple sling load control
No loss of strength from abrasion to cover
Low stretch (about 3% at rated capacity)
Conforms to shape of load to grip securely
Load bearing yards protected from UV degradation
Red striped white core yarns provided added visual warning of sling damage
Color coding provides positive sling capacity infor-mation
Double wall cover for greater sling life
Soft cover won’t scratch load surface
Seamless – no sewn edges to rupture prematurely
Light weight and pliable for easy rigging and storage
Independent core yarns choke tightly, but release easily after use
All of our slings meet or exceed OSHA and ASME B30.9 standards and regulations.

Tuff-Edge
2X Stronger After Abrasion, 2X Better Edge Cut Resistance, Tuff-Edge II
Polyester Web Slings
U.S. Patent No. 4856387
You can expect longer sling life and lower overall costs when you switch to
Tuff-Edge II slings.
Resistance to the two properties that can rapidly degrade webbing, abrasion
and edge cutting, is greatly improved with the use of our Tuff-Edge II
webbing. Using Federal Test Method 191A, Tuff-Edge II webbing was tested
against standard yellow polyester webbing. After being subjected to the
same number of hex bar abrasion cycles the Tuff-Edge II webbing, with its’
special silver treatment, achieved average break strengths that were twice
that of the standard yellow webbing! In a test developed specifically to
measure edge cutting properties, the cut depth of the Tuff-Edge II webbing
with special polymer edge yarns cut less than half the depth of the standard
yelk polyester without the special edge yarns.
Although you should always pad and protect synthetic slings from load
edges, normal wear and tear should be greatly reduced when using TuffEdge II, giving you greater sling life and reduced sling costs.
