Slingmax Rigging Solutions

For safety, quality, durability and the lowest true "cost of use" in innovative rigging equipment --

The SLINGMAX® Organization is a worldwide team of 42 full-service locations which fabricate the most advanced rigging products on the market today. Our Rigging "Solutions" include Twin-Path® Extra Slings with K-SPEC® Core Yarn, capable of lifting up to 600 tons each. K-SPEC® Core Yarn is so abrasion resistant that it exceeds catalog breaking strength after 50,000 cycles! Besides ergonomically supe

rior High Performance Synthetic Slings and Multi-part Wire Rope Slings, we also provide training and rigging accessories, including protection for slings and loads.

A crew with Kiewit Corporation put the Helix® Synthetic Roundsling to work during a directional drilling operation, supporting a 20’ section of 30” diameter, ½” thick steel pipe weighing 10,000 pounds

Using a 20ft Helix roundsling, the pipe was securely supported while crews welded this section onto the previous run—keeping the load stable, protected, and properly controlled throughout the process.

Designed for demanding applications, Helix roundslings deliver high strength, low weight, and load protection where precision and safety matter most.

When space is limited but the lift demands strength, Helix® High Performance Roundslings deliver.

Engineered with K‑Spec® high‑performance core fiber, Helix roundslings provide exceptional capacity with less than 1% elongation—all in a narrow, lightweight profile built for tight hardware and confined lift points. The USA‑braided HMPE jacket protects the load‑bearing core from abrasion and chemicals, while integrated Rifled Cover Technology increases strength and reduces sling weight and width.

From turbine to transformer lifts, Helix is built for precision, durability, and confidence when space is tight.

For more than three decades, Twin-Path® slings have set the standard for safety and reliability.

In this video, Tom De Soo explains the features that continue to define Twin-Path as the go-to choice for synthetic roundslings for over 30 years.

As the Artemis II mission continues to redefine the limits of human spaceflight, Slingmax® and Twin‑Path® synthetic roundslings remain part of the groundwork that helped make the mission possible. Trusted during mission‑critical handling of the Orion spacecraft during testing operations, Twin‑Path slings supported precision lifting operations over the Pacific Ocean.

The Artemis II crew surpassed the record set by Apollo 13 in 1970 for the farthest humans have ever traveled from Earth. NASA has confirmed the mission profile places astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen at a maximum distance of 252,757 miles from our planet as they travel around the Moon.

From critical ground handling to deep‑space exploration, advanced rigging solutions play an essential role in enabling historic achievements.

A flashback to November 2018, when Twin‑Path® Slings were used during the lifting of the sixth and final water runner Barnhart Crane and Rigging transported for a Michigan hydroelectric power plant project that began in 2013.

Each water runner weighed 272.2 tonnes and arrived from Shanghai by heavy‑lift vessel before moving by hopper barge to the site. Twin‑Path Slings supported controlled, balanced handling during staging under a gantry crane, helping protect these large, precision‑machined components and supporting safe ex*****on of a complex heavy‑lift operation.

The Slingmax® RecoveryMax Pro is built for the toughest industrial recovery challenges, from pulling mining trucks out of deep mud to recovering dozers and loaders in soft terrain. Engineered with O-Spec high‑performance HMPE core yarn, it offers exceptional strength at a fraction of the weight of steel chains or wire rope, making deployment faster, safer, and easier in demanding environments.

The sling body is protected by Maxijacket abrasion-resistant coating, while the eyes feature an additional heavy-duty polyurethane coating for maximum durability in harsh recovery conditions. With low stretch to reduce recoil and engineered resilience for repeated use, RecoveryMax Pro delivers reliable performance when productivity and safety matter most.

Available in a wide range of capacities and configurations, RecoveryMax Pro can also be customized to meet unique recovery requirements.

Last week marked a major step forward at the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant in Alabama, after a crew successfully removed the 425,000 pound generator rotor during Unit 3’s maintenance and refueling outage — and they did it with the help of Twin Path® Slings from Slingmax.

Built with K Spec® core yarn, Covermax® protective jackets, and advanced inspection technology, Twin Path slings deliver the high capacity, lightweight performance needed for lifts where precision and safety matter most.

Over the past 30 years, Slingmax® has built a reputation rooted in rigorous testing and quality control. Across 45 manufacturing and repair locations, we follow identical ISO-audited manufacturing, repair, and testing procedures — reinforced by annual break and re-certification testing at every facility to ensure consistent strength and performance.

Our products meet or exceed OSHA, ASME, WSTDA, and CI standards— a testament to verified performance under demanding conditions. We also maintain one of the most comprehensive libraries of testing and technical documentation in the sling manufacturing industry to support your most critical lifts.

When traceability, compliance, and proven performance matter, trust Slingmax testing standards to deliver confidence under load.

Lift Smarter With ONYX.

When weight matters and performance can’t be compromised, it’s time to rethink what you’re lifting with. The ONYX High Performance Roundsling from Slingmax® features an HMPE O-Spec core, delivering exceptional strength in a significantly lighter package—half the weight of polyester roundslings of equal capacity and less than 10% the weight of comparable multi-part wire rope slings. The result is easier handling, faster rigging, and greater efficiency on demanding jobs.

A double-layer polyester jacket—black on the outside, red on the inside—resists abrasion and UV exposure while simplifying inspection. If red is visible, it’s time to remove the sling from service. Inside, O-Spec fiber enhances durability and cycling performance without adding weight, while less than 1% elongation at rated capacity ensures precise control on critical lifts.

Unlike slings validated by theory alone, ONYX capacities have been break tested up to 350,000 lbs., delivering proven performance you can trust.
