HHIperLift Spectra Slings

One of the most successful and popular offerings by Â鶹ŮÀÉ, HHIPerLift Spectra Slings are lightweight synthetic slings made to withstand large loads. Designed to offer exceptional performance under grueling conditions, they are capable of lifting loads anywhere from 8 tons to 600 tons at 5:1 ratio. 1

Silverback Slings

SILVERBACK_LOGO_V20_1000PX-1024x439

Made with HMPE fibers, Silverback Slings are better and enhanced series of new-generation lifting slings made from space-age materials and high-tech design processes.

  • High Specific Modulus – Excellent for lifting and mooring in ultra-deep water, highly cut-resistant
  • Saltwater Resistance – 100% proof-tested for resistance to prolonged saltwater immersion at ultra-deep levels

General and Technical Data

High-Contact Rigging Efficiency (HCRE)

Most conventional roundslings, wire ropes, and braided ropes generally require reasonably large and fixed diameters in relation to the lifting potential. However, Silverback Slings offer superior rigging efficiency compared to their traditional counterparts.

Unlike braided ropes or helically-laid stranded yarns, Silverback Slings use a unique oversized triple cover with a parallel laid yarn inside. It allows you to reshape the slings, making them fit perfectly on the load-bearing surfaces.

Silverback Slings have a design factor of 5:1 (ultimate = 5 times rated load). These slings are rated in tons. Users are advised to not exceed the rated capacity to avoid potential accidents.

D/d Ratios

To achieve the loads it was designed for, the Silverback Sling System needs to have a minimum of a 3:1 D/d ratio. In other words, the size of the pin around which the slings goes must have at least three times the diameter of the sling at the bearing point.

Ratings & Design Factors

Sling ratings are based on a standard wide-body shackle (or equivalent bearing surface) of equal or greater capacity.

Ratings & Design Factors

logo-icon-bluelogo-icon-blue

Stronger: Silverback Slings have up to 40% higher specific strength compared to aramid fibers (Technora, Kevlar), along with excellent toughness and durability.

logo-icon-bluelogo-icon-blue

Lightweight: Silverback Slings are remarkably light; a vertical 15′ 75-ton sling weighs less than 75 pounds. As a result, you can manipulate them without the use of special equipment or work-rated ROVs.

logo-icon-bluelogo-icon-blue

Reduced Elongation: They have a maximum of 3.8% at breaking load.

logo-icon-bluelogo-icon-blue

Floatation Properties: They are lightweight with 0.97-g/cc density. So, they tend to remain relatively stable in the deep water.

logo-icon-bluelogo-icon-blue

Prolonged Saltwater Immersion Tolerance: The HMPE fibers testing showed no reduction in lifting capacity after six months of saltwater immersion. It showed only 1% to 2% loss after 12 months of immersion. 

logo-icon-bluelogo-icon-blue

They have excellent fatigue resistance.

logo-icon-bluelogo-icon-blue

Superior damping characteristics (vibration, shock, and impact): Silverback Slings can withstand high-load strain rate velocities.

High Specific Modulus: Excellent for lifting and mooring in ultra-deep water.

logo-icon-bluelogo-icon-blue

Exceptional high-pressure resistance.

logo-icon-bluelogo-icon-blue

High chemical resistance.

logo-icon-bluelogo-icon-blue

Good UV resistance.

logo-icon-bluelogo-icon-blue

Highly cut-resistant.

logo-icon-bluelogo-icon-blue

Made in America: All HMPE fibers and cover materials are manufactured in the U.S. Sling fabrication and load testing are performed at HHI’s facility.
