CHOICE OF MATERIALS: Nylon or Polyester - Nylon stretches 6 to 8% at Work Load and loses approximately 15% Work Load when wet. Polyester stretches at 3% at Work Load and maintains 100% Work Load when wet. Polyester is the preferred sling material for Marine Slings.
COLOR CODED MATERIALS: Polyester webbing has a continuous blue surface marker to differentiate it from nylon webbing.
TREATED WEBBING: Resists degradation from rot, mold, seawater and basic crude or lubricating oil.
WIDE SLING WIDTHS: The most delicate hull is gently cradled as vessel weight is distributed over a wide surface area.
LARGE SELECTION: Available sling options and corrosion resistant hardware.
|
|
FLEXIBLE AND LIGHTWEIGHT: Lift-It® Marine Slings adjust to contours of all types and sizes of hull configurations. Easy to store and handle.
GENTLE: Non-marring and non-abrasive.
PROOF TEST AND CERTIFICATION: Slings that are subjected to continuous ultraviolet/sunlight exposure lose strength, dramatically and should be proof tested semi-annually or more frequently, depending upon the degree of exposure. (See page 18 for the effects of UV degradation).
|
Lift-It® will design and fabricate Marine Slings to meet your specific requirements.
All slings are as strong as their weakest component. Certain accessories (Loosepin Hardware and Extra Eyes) are not available options for two ply sling capacities.

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT |
|
HOW TO ORDER |
 |
|
 |
CODE B – BASKET HARDWARE Alloy steel fittings are permanently attached to the sling and plated for corrosion resistance. (Refer to "Aluminum and Steel Triangles" for fitting specifications)
|
|
LEAD WEIGHTS Lead Weights help Marine Slings sink and stay underwater for easier positioning.
|
CODE F – FLAT EYE
Flat Eyes are oriented flat to the sling body. Please specify eye width if Flat Eyes are to be used with existing shackles.
|
|
EDGE WRAP
Bulked Nylon is sewn around sling edge. Edge Wrap can be attached at any location to ensure a useful service life. *Please specify length and location for the edge wrap.
|
CODE T – TWISTED EYE Twisted Eyes are formed by being turned 180° before the sling body is sewn.
|
|
SLIDING CHINE AND RUBRAIL SLEEVES Sliding Chine and Rub Rail Sleeves can be positioned to prevent damage to the boat and sling.
|
CODE C – CARGO EYE
Cargo Eyes are formed by tapering webbing to a narrower eye width than other eye designs. Cargo eyes are oriented 90° to the sling body.
For use in basket hitch only
|
|
EXTRA EYES
Extra Eyes allow a single sling to adjust to varying hull dimensions. Extra Eyes are available options for single ply slings. Extra Eyes are not available options for two ply slings.
|
DISCONNECT
Disconnects allow removal of the sling from the boat, without detaching slings from lifting fixtures. Protective flap is automatically included. *Please specify location per diagram.
|
|
 |
Extra Eyes must always be rigged “in line” with load path. Pulling against stitching shall never be permitted and could result in sling failure, injury and/or death.
|
You must always specify:
1. Number and location of Extra Eyes.
|
2. Eye type:
|
Cargo (Code “C”) Twisted (Code “T”) Flat (Code “F”)
|
|
KEEL PAD Webbing is sewn at sling centerline to protect it from wear and abrasion. Standard Keel Pad length – 4 Feet
