Quality - Priority One
When you read the statement "Crosby or Equal" on a contract, you owe it to yourself and the personnel that will be using the product to determine what it means to be "Or Equal." Crosby has several "Value-Added" features that must be compared when trying to find the "Or Equal" product.
"When buying Crosby, you 're buying more than product, you're buying Quality."
Engineering - Excellence
Crosby engineers its product to perform. The applications of the following items are an example of the available engineering expertise that has resulted in Crosby being considered the standard of the industry around the world.
Proper selection of material and heat treatment process that allows for superior strength and impact performance
Active participants in professional societies and committees including ASTM, CVSA, API, ASM and ANSI
Extensive expertise in computer aided design (CAD), Finite Element Analysis, Non-Destructive Testing and Failure Analysis of Products
ISO 9001 Certified
Quality Control
The majority of the steel purchased by Crosby is isolated from production until it is approved by their metallurgical lab. Each product is individually "PIC Coded" (Product Identification Code) to allow traceability to its respective date of production and material certification.
Durability
Competitors' products cannot be substituted in place of Crosby products just because they "look" alike. Crosby products are manufactured with the highest design factors in the industry. They are better able to withstand abusive field conditions because of the improved impact and fatigue characteristics designed into each item .
The majority of Crosby's products are "Heat Treated". The "Heat Treatment" allows the product to deform if overloading occurs, giving warning before ultimate failure. An "As-Forged," or non-heat treated product, will break with little or no warning. This "Catastrophic Failure" is a result of brittleness or lack of toughness in the non-heat treated product as compared to "Heat Treated" product.
Crosby recognizes the importance of four essential performance properties in its products.

Recognized Dependability
Crosby is considered the standard of the industry worldwide. This can be drawn from the fact that most contracts involving rigging products in the U.S. and around the world read "Crosby Only" or "Crosby or Equal."
