Introduction

Established in 1989, Sling & Tackle Ltd has grown to become the leading lifting gear specialist in the region.

With extensive testing facilities, highly trained and experienced staff we are able to both visually inspect and physically test most equipment and installations to the requirements of the appropriate legislation.

Our on-site testing & inspection service has been developed and streamlined to enable us to offer our customers a one stop premier service. Our external service engineers have many years experience in the field, and are adept at overcoming problems encountered on site.

As agents for all leading manufacturers we can impartially advise on and supply all types of lifting, pulling, load securing and safety equipment, whilst our fully equipped workshops include an electrical repair centre specialising in the repair and testing of electric hoists and winches.

We assemble chain and wire rope slings to customer’s requirements and undertake the design and fabrication of specialist lifting equipment and installations such as mobile gantries, spreader beams and swing jibs.

We are stockists of a wide range of safety equipment including fall-arrest devices, harnesses, temporary lifelines and permanent restraint systems. We are an Authorised Service Centre for Ridgegear Fall Arrest products. Our fully equipped & stocked service centre will be pleased to quote for service/repairs of your Fall Arrest equipment.

Chain blocks, 'Tirfor' winches, machine skates, mobile gantries, scaffold hoists and most other items of equipment are also available for hire at extremely competitive rates. Delivery and collection can be arranged throughout the UK.

We also provide an efficient and professional machine moving service and would be pleased to provide a quotation on request.
