Introducing Taurus™ and Agile™ Lifting Slings from Samson. These general-purpose lifting slings conform to ASME B30.9 and are tagged with WLL for vertical, basket, and choker configurations at a safety factor of 5. Taurus Lifting Slings utilize a strength-optimized HMPE core fabricated into a multi-loop sling, protected by braided HMPE chafe eyes and a high-vis braided polyester chafe body. Available with vertical WLL ranging from 30,000 lb. to 400,000 lb. and lengths from 10 ft. to 50 ft. (size dependent).
Selecting lifting slings starts with understanding the load and the way the sling will support it during the lift. The listed WLL should correspond with the intended hitch configuration, since changing the configuration can affect the sling’s rated capacity. Buyers should also consider the connection points and areas where the sling may contact the load.
The synthetic construction of Samson lifting slings helps crews handle demanding lifts. Protective chafe components help guard areas exposed to contact during normal use, while proper inspection is still necessary throughout the sling’s service life. For demanding lifts, industrial lifting slings must work as part of the full rigging setup, with the sling’s construction and rating matched to the way the load will be supported.
