Lifting heavy objects can be tricky. From balancing uneven loads and ensuring they don’t get damaged in the move to dealing with weather conditions and keeping the crew safe, there are a lot of moving parts to consider. Selecting the right sling for the job not only protects the goods you’re moving but also increases worker safety.
The Crane Industry Council of Australia Innovation Award-winning Bullivants ADAPTA® Adjustable HMPE Lifting Sling is changing the game for crane operators and rigging crews, offering a host of benefits that directly enhance efficiency and productivity on job sites.
Made from High Modulus Polyethylene (HMPE) rope, this flexible sling delivers impressive strength at a fraction of the weight of traditional alloy chain or wire rope slings. It’s simple to use with no metal parts, reducing the risk of injury to workers and damage to goods.
The adjustable legs allow for quick, easy adjustments at ground level, without the need for extensive downtime or equipment repositioning. This all equates to a smoother and more efficient lift.
Despite being lightweight, the AmSteel® Blue Dyneema Rope sling complies with AS18264 and can lift from 3.3t to 17t, at 60° in the standard range with larger sizes available upon request.
“When travelling between job sites, cranes are subject to GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) restrictions, limiting the weight of the vehicle that can drive on the road. Reducing the weight of equipment that the crane carries results in reduced fuel costs and, in some cases, the requirement to have a second vehicle transporting additional equipment, reducing costs even further,” says Paul O’Halloran of Bullivants*
The ADAPTA® sling is resistant to moisture, chemicals and UV exposure, so you won’t have to worry about it degrading or corroding, even in harsh outdoor environments.
With quicker rigging and less downtime for inspections and maintenance, the ADAPTA® sling helps speed up the overall lifting process. “We have worked closely with customers and received positive feedback – comments such as, ‘able to be handled easily by hand with no machinery required’ and being ‘able to leave the sling attached to the item being lifted’. In most cases, lift times were reduced by 50%.” “The Bullivants ADAPTA® sling is up to 90% lighter than equivalent capacity alloy chains and up to 85% lighter than equivalent wire rope slings.”
Comparison performed at Bullivants’ test facility in Melbourne using alloy chain and wire rope slings in Bullivants’ product range with an equivalent working load limit to ADAPTA®.
The lower cost of ownership makes the ADAPTA® Adjustable Lifting Sling an essential investment for modern crane operators, saving your business time and money while enhancing your worker safety.
