LIFTING EQUIPMENT

Home » Equipment » Lifting Equipment

Lifting equipment consists of a variety of slings, manual chain blocks, and manual lever hoists. Manual chain blocks involve a chain as a hoist mechanism and are cheaper and easier to maintain. Their only downside is you can’t scale them to loads larger than 5t.

Slings usually come as chain, nylon or wire slings. They usually have a Grade 80, Grade 100, and Grade 120 tensile strength. All our slings adhere to strict SABS standards and are cleared for safe industrial use.

NYLON SLINGS

Nylon slings are made of synthetic fibers and can be just as strong as chain slings. But their particular advantage is in lifting fragile loads. Nylon slings are available for load capacities from 1 to 100 tonnes. We can advise you on the correct tensile strength to select for your synthetic fiber sling.

MANUAL LIFTING EQUIPMENT

The simplest form of this are manual chain blocks which involve a chain as a hoist mechanism and are also usually cheaper and easier to maintain. The downside being that manual chain blocks are mostly for low load capacities and cannot be scaled to loads higher than 5t.
