PROVEN, RELIABLE PRODUCTS FROM A TRUSTED PARTNER Samson Heavy-Lift Slings

TESTED AND PROVEN TECHNICALLY SOUND Samson’s R&D department has performed comprehensive testing of sling samples in different configurations, studying efficiencies for required lifting capacities: > Working load limits (WLLs) > D/d ratios > Optimal configurations 152 mm AmSteel -Blue sling being proof loaded for the Greater Gabbard Wind Farm Project. HOW DO SAMSON SLINGS COMPARE? Samson Slings vs. Wire Rope Slings > Safer operations > More efficient rigging— saves time and reduces rigging personnel > Positive buoyancy > Increased lifting capacity > No contact damage to the payload INPUTS Metric (mm)...

S A M S O N H E A V Y- L I F T S L I N G S DNV-OS-H101 lays out a methodology for establishing factors of safety to be used in offshore lifts based on a number of parameters describing the lift and the lifting equipment. DNV-OS-H101 states that the safety factor, γsf, used in offshore lifts is calculated as a product of a number of factors based on the lift: γsf = γf γc γr γw γm WHERE: γsf = safety factor γf = load factor γc = consequence factor γr = splice factor γw = bending factor γm = material factor Over the past several years, Samson has conducted an ongoing testing and development program...

The information presented here is for use with Samson AmSteel ® -Blue lifting slings only. This information does not apply for slings made with any other rope product. > Use only Samson approved splices for the fabrication of ® AmSteel -Blue slings. > All WLLs listed are based on a 5:1 factor of safety and ISO strength rating. > Strengths are for new slings only. Refer to Samson’s Inspection and Retirement criteria to evaluate used slings. > Developed to be consistent with ASME B30.9. D/d Reductions Samson understands, through extensive testing, that D/d reductions can effect strength efficiencies...
