Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the AGILE Lifting System, a next-generation heavy-lift synthetic sling designed by Samson. It addresses the challenges of weight, safety, scheduling, and handling in engineered lifts, particularly in offshore construction.

Specifications
The AGILE Lifting System utilizes AmSteel®Blue and AS-78™ synthetic lines, offering sling strengths from 50t to 4,000t. It combines the benefits of round and rope slings into a lightweight, easy-to-handle system.

Key Features
  • Lighter Weight: Reduces rigging weight by 80% compared to steel wire, facilitating easier handling and eliminating the need for auxiliary cranes.
  • Durability: Features a tough outer sheath to protect against abrasion, cutting, and snagging.
  • Low Maintenance: Requires no greasing or lubrication and is resistant to rust and corrosion.
  • Precision Matched Lengths: Fabricated within exacting tolerances of +/- .25% OAL.
  • Easy Inspection: The protective cover can be opened for rope inspection.

Applications
AGILE is suitable for lifts requiring capacities between 50mt and 4000mt, especially where equipment is sensitive to rigging damage, shorter lengths are needed, and quick lead times are required.

Advantages
  • Faster Fulfillment: Fabrication can be completed in days using stock from Samson distributors.
  • Customization: Advanced software allows for precise sling design and multiple configuration options.
  • Proven Performance: Extensive testing shows AGILE slings retain 90%-100% of their rated strength after rigorous use.

Conclusion
The AGILE Lifting System is a robust, lightweight, and versatile solution for complex lifting challenges in offshore construction. It offers significant advantages in handling, safety, and efficiency, backed by Samson's expertise and innovation in synthetic rope technology.

AGILE LIFTING SYSTEM TM Samson’s Next Generation Heavy-lift Synthetic Sling When weight is the enemy, make AGILE your ally. As today’s offshore construction payloads continue to push the limits of engineered lifts, traditional rigging has become heavier—and therefore more difficult to handle. As complexity increases, so does the possibility of costly delays, safety risks, and increased operating expenses for construction contractors and lift planners. What makes AGILE so AGILE? AGILE Lifting System is a patented design to address the concerns for weight, safety, scheduling, and handling of engineered...

AGILE Lifting System is designed to match the strength and light weight of Samson’s proven synthetic rope slings—but with a form factor similar to round slings. A continuous length of high-performance synthetic rope is looped multiple times within critical length tolerances, organized to maintain balance internally, and finished with a sheath that protects the line from outside damage. Re-Configure & Use Again When your lifting project is complete, you may be able to have your AGILE sling reconfigured for other lifts. Lift Capacity Lighter Weight Cut the weight of your rigging by 80% as compared...

AGILE™ LIFTING SYSTEM Faster fulfillment Easy Inspection Fabrication and fulfillment can be achieved in just days using rope from Samson distributors’ stock vs. waiting for large diameter ropes to be manufactured. Just open the protective cover to check the rope and seal it back up. You can’t do that with fiber round slings. A hybrid design that pairs the strength of Samson’s high-performance synthetic ropes with a protective cover to create a form similar to round slings, without the limitations. AGILE is easy to use in multiple applications and configurations to fit your lift needs. Dyneema®...
