You can lift virtually any size boat with our Boat Lifting Slings, engineered to offer labor-saving convenience with all types of overhead lifting devices. Choose from one or two-ply construction in webbing widths from 2” to 12” to give you rated capacities ranging from 4,800 lbs. to 53,000 lbs. per sling. When rigged in basket hitches, pairs of standard slings can lift up to 53 tons per pair. If you need even more capability than that, you may rig additional slings or pairs in your lift.

FITTINGS & ACCESSORIES FOR BOAT SLINGS

  • Loose pin hardware allows in-field removal for use on other slings or on additional eyes for different sized boats.

  • Reusable alloy steel triangle is a permanent end fitting that slides easily onto the lifting hook.

  • Extra sewn eyes allow lifting of different sized boats with one set of slings. Single ply capacity only.

  • Edgeguard wear pads can protect sling’s edges and extend its useful life. Can be sewn on any portion of sling.

  • Sliding chine and keel pads permit positioning padding at any point to prevent rubbing on hull and protects sling from sharp corners.
