S&J Machining specializes in lifting hooks for castings — and that focus is our advantage. We do one thing better than anyone trying to do everything.
Specialized lifting hooks for castings — building stronger foundries
Since 2009, we've dedicated ourselves to one craft — doing it better than anyone trying to do everything. We don't just supply hooks. We help build the foundries that rely on them.
Concentrating solely on lifting hooks lets us keep our costs low — and we pass that value straight into our clients' final product. The result is stronger foundries: leaner, more competitive, and confident in the parts they depend on.
One product line, refined over fifteen-plus years. Not a generalist shop — a dedicated source for lifting hooks.
Low overhead and a focused process keep our pricing tight, improving the cost of your finished casting.
Consistent parts your foundry can count on, order after order, so your pours stay competitive.

S&J Machining was founded in Esko, Minnesota in 2009 and today operates from Tucson, Arizona — the heart of our manufacturing. From our Minnesota roots to our Arizona home, our focus has never changed: lifting hooks, done right.
By specializing solely in lifting hooks for castings, we run leaner than full-service shops. That discipline keeps our costs low, improves the cost of our clients' final product, and keeps them competitive in a highly specialized industry. We're not trying to be everything to everyone — we're trying to be the best in the world at one thing.
