Lifting Slings
Southwest Ocean Services, Inc. designs and fabricates heavy lift slings utilizing a wide variety of fibers and rope constructions. Over the years, fiber rope slings have evolved from hemp to nylon, from polyester to Kevlar. All of the aforementioned slings are still used in selected applications. The majority of heavy lift slings are now made with Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers, such as Dyneema. This is a very light weight, high strength, minimal stretch material. The key to these slings are proper terminations (splices), adequate chafe protection, and proper application.
