Heavy lifting slings EXTREEMA soft slings supplied across the UK
Durham Lifting supplies EXTREEMA high-performance soft slings for demanding lifts where strength, low handling weight and compact sling dimensions are important. Each requirement is reviewed around the load, hitch, bearing geometry, connections, environment and protection needed.
When to consider a high-performance soft sling
EXTREEMA slings are specialist products, not an automatic replacement for every chain, wire-rope or polyester sling. They are most valuable where reducing assembly weight, improving handling or working with demanding lift geometry provides a clear project benefit.
High-capacity lifting
Soft-sling solutions for engineered lifts involving large structures, offshore equipment and heavy industrial loads.
Lower sling weight
High-performance fibres can reduce the physical weight and bulk of the sling arrangement compared with suitable conventional alternatives.
Flexible connections
Soft sling bodies can conform around suitable bearing points where geometry and minimum bend requirements are considered.
Project-specific assemblies
Capacity, working length, sleeve construction, protection and identification can be coordinated around the lifting brief.
Protection is part of the sling specification
Soft slings must be protected from damaging contact. Edge profile, surface finish, movement under load, bearing radius, abrasion and local pressure should be reviewed before the arrangement is confirmed.
What we need to review the lift
Send the information available, including drawings or photographs of the load and connection points. Durham Lifting can use it to discuss a suitable sling and protection arrangement.
Choose the sling around the complete lifting arrangement
Durham Lifting can compare a specialist HMPE soft-sling solution with polyester, wire rope or chain alternatives. Shackles, lifting points and beams can also be considered as part of the enquiry.
What are EXTREEMA heavy lifting slings made from?
The range uses high-performance fibre cores, including HMPE and Dyneema options, within sleeve and protection systems selected for the application.
Why use a high-performance soft sling?
It can provide high strength with lower handling weight and compact dimensions. Suitability still depends on the complete lift and connection geometry.
Can EXTREEMA slings be made to requirement?
Capacity, length, construction, protection and identification options can be reviewed against the lifting brief.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Provide the load, WLL, hitch, working length, bearing dimensions, connections, environment, protection risks, quantity and documentation needs.
