Tare: Mass of the container when empty
Payload: Maximum mass that can be transported by a container (P= R-T)
Fore runner / top leg: Single leg sling used to elongate a 4 legs sling (the assemble can be
referred as 5 legs sling), often used for DNV 2.7-1 lifting set fabrication to allow the top link to
arrive at the correct elevation
Angle: Unless otherwise notified, the angle used to define a sling is always the angle between
one leg and the vertical (in degrees)
Swaging: Method of assembly,
assembly by pressing a ferrule containing the cable between dies of specific
dimensions
DAF: (Dynamic Amplification Factor) Enhancement factor of the WLL to take the movement of the
load into account

Limitations:
Maximum rating is 25T
The DNV 2.7-1 standard corresponds
p
only
y to offshore containers
fabrication, but the part concerning the lifting sets is often used as
reference for the fabrication of slings for other offshore
equipments
Enhancement factor to be applied for the calculation of the WLL
(see table 8-1 at right side)
Minimum WLL = 7 000 kg
Certified process of fabrication
Top link dimension: recommended > 270 x 140mm
When unloaded, the top
p link must not be above 1300mm from the
floor
Maximum angle of a sling with vertical = 45

p
marking
g
Swaging conform to EN 13411-3
WLL to be calculated for angles from 0 to 45 from vertical (and from 45 to 60 for some
specific
p
assemblies))
The weakest part must be the cable, not the top link
Shackles must have higher WLL than the leg they are connected to
Calculation of the WLL for usual cases:
For 1 leg sling: WLL = (BLmin x KT) / (g x ZP), with:
BLmin = Minimum Breaking Load of the cable (given by the supplier)
ZP = 5 (safety factor)
g = 9.80665 N/kg
KT = termination coefficient (0.9 for swage assembly)
For multi legs sling: WLL = (BLmin x KT x KL) / (g x ZP), with:

KL = coefficient for leg number and angle = Nlegs x cos(), with = 45
KL = 1.4 for 2 legs slings, and KL = 2.1 for 3 and 4 legs slings (4 legs slings are calculated as 3 legs slings)

How to chose a lifting set ?

Number of legs:
Given by the design of the equipment to lift
Requested certification
Offshore or onshore ?
One time lift for installation or movable equipment ?
Company specifications
Calculation of the minimum WLL of the sling

Weight of the equipment to lift
DAF to apply (generally given by Company specification)
Example: in TOTAL specifications, DAF = 1.30 for offshore lifting (<150T), and DAF = 1.10 for onshore
Use of a spreader bar:

Some answers to the most frequent questions you have:

Why are you only using cables from diameter 18 to 32mm for DNV lifting sets ?
Even for the low ratings, the minimum WLL is 7000 kg (DNV 2.7-1, table 8-1)
Reference to EN 13414-1 for the cable BLmin = (WLL x g x ZP) / (KT x KL) with:
ZP = 5 (safety factor)
g = 9.80665
9 80665 N/kg
N/k
KT = 0.9 (for swage termination)
KL = 2.1
BLmin = 179 840 N for the cable of a 4 leg sling

18mm is the smallest cable size with BL > 179 840 N not allowed to use smaller
We use the same calculation for the maximum size, maximum rating is 25T, that gives a WLL
of 27 590 kg BLmin = 708 830 N
32mm is the smallest cable size with BL > 708 830 N no need to use bigger

Contact:
+244 923 678 609

What standards could I follow for a load > 25T as DNV 2.7-1 cant apply?
First of all, the standard of each Company should apply
For onshore or one time lifting offshore, EN 13414-1 is most often used
DAF might be added for offshore use
DNV 2.7-3 Standard covers offshore equipments that are regularly lifted, up to 50T
No specific description of lifting sets
Reference to DNV 2.7-1 same lifting sets up to 25T
Above 25T, enhancement factor can be extrapolate at the constant value of 1.1
For other cases, a specific calculation note can be done for the lifting set

+244 923 678 609

Can you certify an existing sling ?
We can only make a certificate of conformity for our own manufactured products
Several issues occur to certify a sling fabricated by another manufacturer:
What material was used ? It is not possible to check the steel grade of the wire rope by mere visual
inspection
How was it assembled ? The process of assembly and the quality control along it are critical for the
certification of the final product
Alternative: we can make a load test under third party survey
Can you assemble a sling using our own material ?

Yes, if the material is compatible with our fabrication process
But the certification of the assembly is subject to the material certificate,
Can you modify an existing sling ?

Only if the sling was manufactured by ORSLING (same issues as for certification)

+244 923 678 609

Why should we work with ORSLING?
Quality of our final product, coming from the quality of the materials we use, the training and
dedication of our personnel
Reactivity of our workshop for emergency fabrication we use to deliver urgent lifting sets on
the same day we receive the order
Fabrication inside SONILS base no delay for material delivery
Frame contract with Bureau Veritas reactivityy for third partyy certification
Adaptability to manufacture customized lifting sets
Pro-activity from our management and our engineering department to propose you the best
solution for your needs
Collaboration with other departments of FRIEDLANDER Angola to propose complete lifting
solutions like spreader bars or certified baskets
