DICA - Engineered Lift Protection and Stabilization Solutions
DICA is a family-owned, American-based engineered products manufacturer known globally for solving lifting, rigging, and stabilization challenges with innovative, high-performance gear. The company specializes in outrigger pads, crane pads, cribbing blocks, ground protection mats, and a full range of protective rigging accessories — all designed to make lifting operations safer, easier, and more reliable.
DICA’s products are Made in the USA, engineered for durability, and compliant with industry standards such as ASME B30.5. They’re used by contractors, riggers, and operators in over 50 countries across all seven continents.
Among DICA’s most notable engineered safety products are their LiftGuard Magnetic Sling Protectors. These patented sling protectors are designed to prevent damage to slings and loads during lifting by shielding synthetic, wire rope, and chain slings from abrasive edges, sharp corners, and protrusions. The protectors are made from high-performance, non-metallic cast nylon, which provides excellent abrasion resistance, compression strength, and heat stabilization for use in demanding lifting conditions. The magnetic feature allows the protectors to stay firmly in place without tools and without scratching finished or painted surfaces.
DICA offers several LiftGuard variations — from medium and heavy duty units to beam/plate-specific and coil-handling versions — ensuring the right protection for a wide range of load types and sling configurations. By integrating engineered materials with practical features like recessed magnets and ergonomic design, DICA’s LiftGuard protectors help reduce sling wear, prevent accidents, and improve rigging efficiency on the jobsite.
