Lifting Slings - Deck Machinery and Hull Equipment
Lifting slings are load-handling assemblies used aboard ships and in shipyards for lifting deck machinery, hatch covers, hull components, stores and repair equipment. Common types include wire-rope, alloy-chain, synthetic webbing and round slings, selected according to load, environment and lifting arrangement.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Lifting Slings for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Standards, Certifications & Class Approval
Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.

| Class Approval | Lifting slings may be supplied with test certificates and inspected under requirements accepted by DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas or ClassNK. Class approval is not universal and must be verified for the specific sling, vessel, flag administration and lifting appliance. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Verify the sling WLL, leg angle, load weight and center of gravity before use. Connect only to suitable certified lifting points and hardware. Protect synthetic and wire-rope slings from sharp edges, avoid knots or twists, and follow the manufacturer's load chart. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Inspect before each use and perform periodic examinations by a competent person. Check for cuts, abrasion, heat or chemical damage, broken wires, corrosion, stretched chain links, damaged fittings and unreadable tags. Clean and store dry, away from sunlight, chemicals and welding activity. |
| Safety Notes | Never exceed the marked WLL or use an unidentified or damaged sling. Account for sling-angle loading, shock loads and temperature or chemical limitations. Keep personnel clear of suspended loads and never shorten, repair or modify a sling except by an authorized competent organization. |
