Heavy-Duty Roundslings in Marine Lifting Applications

Marine lifting operations demand equipment that performs consistently under extreme conditions. From dockside handling to complex offshore lifts, reliability, strength, and load protection are non-negotiable.

At Trans-Web, our heavy-duty roundslings are designed and manufactured to meet the challenges of the marine industry — providing safe, efficient lifting solutions where failure is not an option.

Designed for Demanding Marine Environments

Marine environments expose lifting equipment to moisture, salt, abrasion, and heavy repetitive loads. That’s why we’ve recently upgraded our 12–60 tonne roundslings, enhancing performance without increasing cost.

Our roundslings are now manufactured with advanced Twillock diagonal sleeve construction, providing measurable improvements where it matters most in marine applications:

• Greater abrasion resistance, helping extend service life in harsh dockside and offshore conditions

• Improved flexibility and handling, particularly in tighter bends and complex rigging setups

• Consistent, reliable performance for heavy-duty and repetitive lifts

This upgrade delivers a stronger, smarter solution at the same price point — ensuring our roundsling catalogue continues to meet the practical demands of marine lifting while offering long-term value.

Proven Performance in Real-World Marine Lifts

The images featured in this article show Trans-Web roundslings in use across a range of marine lifting scenarios — from dockside operations to large-scale vessel loading.

These real-world applications demonstrate why roundslings are widely used in the marine sector:

• Even load distribution helps reduce point loading

• Soft construction protects both the load and lifting points

• Compatibility with cranes, spreader beams, and complex rigging setups

Each lift presents unique challenges, which is why selecting the correct sling specification is critical to safe and efficient operations.

Manufactured to Specification, Not Guesswork

Every lifting operation is different. At Trans-Web, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions.

Our roundslings can be supplied as standard or manufactured to customer specification, taking into account:

• Working Load Limit (WLL)

• Lift configuration (basket, choke, or straight lift)

• Environmental exposure

• Load shape and weight distribution

This approach ensures that lifting equipment is fit for purpose — not just compliant on paper.

UK-Manufactured Quality You Can Rely On

All Trans-Web roundslings are designed and manufactured in the UK, giving customers confidence in quality control, traceability, and fast turnaround times.

By keeping manufacturing in-house, we’re able to respond quickly to urgent requirements and support time-sensitive marine projects without compromising on safety or performance.

Speak to the Experts Before Your Next Lift

Selecting the correct lifting sling is critical — especially in marine and dockside environments where conditions are unpredictable and margins for error are small.
