AZ Lifting Hardware will be returning this October to the world’s largest fastener expo. The 15th Annual National Industrial Fastener Show/West in Las Vegas,Nevada. The expo is October 19th and 20th at The Sands Expo Center and AZ Lifting Hardware will be in attendance. Start planning now and make sure to stop by and see us at booth #927! (view flier)

AZ Lifting Hardware gave our support and it was great to see some of our current and potential customers at this show, but we wish we would have seen more of you. We vendors want to support this terrific opportunity to meet in the heartland of America, but we need Distributors to make it worthwhile…for all of us. No vendors…no distributors; no distributors…no vendors. Give some serious consideration to attending this show next year. You’ll see new products and pick up a few ideas on ways to expand your business.

AZ Lifting Hardware is an active member of Pac-West, a professional group of distributors and suppliers working together for the betterment of the industry. If you are a Western US distributor of fastener related products please consider joining this fine organization. We hope to see you at the next meeting.

Thanks to the confidence our valued customers have placed in us…we need more space. We are moving to new and larger space during the month of February. This move will allow us to increase the inventory of current catalog items, better manage our hold/release programs and provide better flow in our machining area for Specials. We’re excited about our progress…we couldn’t do it without customers who appreciate the value we bring to their businesses.

All contact information will remain the same with the exception of our suite #. Please make note of “C101” going forward.

CLEVISES HAVE ARRIVED! AZLH is proud to announce we are NOW producing #2, #2 1/2 and #3 Clevises to complement our complete line of Turnbuckle Bodies. For the Clevises, we will drill and tap the ends, drill the pin holes, set your grip, and provide straight pins to your customer’s exact specifications. We will now be able to help you with everything you need for your support assemblies. And, we will quote the rods!

This new product line will help us create even more value for you. Just give us a call or fax us your specifications and we’ll get your quote to you the same day.

AZLH now carries our Clevis Slip Hooks with safety latches in addition to our regular clevis and eye slip hooks. Please refer to the dimensions of our regular clevis slip hook until we can update our products page; or give us a call today!

AZLH is proud to announce a new addition to our website. The Closeout and Overstock section will feature closeout/obsolete product, imperfect product, and overstock product that we will offer to you at a discount! The page will be updated frequently with new products so please check it out and visit us often for updates and to see if you can take advantage of these product offerings.

Our new warehouse provides the additional space we need to continue our growth. As we worked to build our inventory, add new products and support several of our customers with hold and release programs for their OEMs we just ran out of space. Our new facility provides a 50% increase in square footage, but more importantly the floor configuration allows for a 100% increase in pallet racking capability. Moving is no fun; we hope you found our move to be seamless as it relates to service. We think we’ll be here for a while but with our continued effort to provide the products and services our customer’s need…who knows? Our contact information remains the same with the exception of our suite number changing for B-139 to “D-131″.

We appreciate your business!
