Sling Hardware & Fittings – Engineered for Synthetic Slings

When working with synthetic slings, it's essential to use rigging hardware specifically designed to protect the sling material and ensure safe lifting operations. Standard shackles, hooks, and connectors may have sharp edges or narrow profiles that can damage synthetic slings, leading to premature wear and reduced load capacity. We offer a range of specialized sling hardware from top brands like Crosby, Columbus McKinnon (CM), and AMH, designed to maximize sling life, ensure proper load distribution, and enhance lifting efficiency.

Crosby Sling Saver™ – Optimized for Synthetic Sling Use
Crosby's Sling Saver™ series is crafted to reduce wear, extend sling longevity, and optimize lifting performance. These components feature wide, smooth surfaces to prevent bunching and cutting, common issues when using synthetic slings with standard rigging hardware.

Key Crosby Sling Saver™ Products:

• S-252 & S-253 Sling Saver Shackles: The S-252 is a bolt-type shackle, while the S-253 is a screw pin shackle. Both are made from alloy steel and feature an increased bow radius that provides a wider sling bearing surface, preventing wear and maximizing load distribution.
• S-281 Sling Saver Screw Pin Shackle: A screw pin shackle specifically designed for use with synthetic slings, featuring an enlarged bow to reduce pressure points and increase the sling's lifespan.
• S-280 Sling Saver Web Connector: Designed to function similarly to a shackle but optimized for web slings, the S-280 ensures a secure connection while minimizing stress on sling fibers.
• S-237 Sling Saver Couplers: Engineered to connect high-performance synthetic slings to master links or other fittings, providing a secure and versatile rigging solution.
• S-287 Sliding Choker Hooks: Designed for synthetic slings in choker hitch configurations, featuring a smooth, wide surface to prevent wear and sling bunching.

Columbus McKinnon (CM) – Extra-Wide Web Sling Shackles for Secure Lifting
CM’s web sling shackles feature extra-wide bows that allow synthetic webbing to lay flat, ensuring proper load distribution and reduced wear.

• Carbon Steel Shackles: Equipped with a pin secured by a linchpin, these shackles offer a simple yet effective locking mechanism while providing strong, reliable performance for general lifting applications.
• Alloy Steel Shackles: Featuring a bolt and nut assembly secured with a linchpin, these shackles add an extra layer of security, making them ideal for demanding, high-load lifting applications.

AMH Round Sling Hooks – Tool-Free & Color-Coded for Easy Use
For fast and efficient rigging, AMH Round Sling Hooks provide tool-free installation, ensuring a secure lifting point for synthetic round slings.

• Color-Coded Design: Matches standard round sling colors from purple to red, allowing for easy identification and compatibility.
• Quick, Tool-Free Installation: No extra tools are required, making the rigging process faster and more efficient.
• Designed for Synthetic Slings: Features a smooth, wide surface that ensures proper load security while minimizing sling damage.

Why Use Specialized Sling Hardware?

• Prevents Sling Damage: Wide, rounded edges minimize cutting, bunching, and abrasion on synthetic slings.
• Ensures Proper Load Distribution: Reduces stress points, allowing slings to maintain full strength under load.
• Extends Sling Lifespan: Reduces wear, ensuring longer service life and lower replacement costs.
• Enhances Rigging Efficiency: Features like tool-free installation, color coding, and secure locking mechanisms simplify rigging and improve safety.
