AmSteel®-Blue | A 12-strand made with Dyneema®. Size-for-size replacement for wire rope. Easy to splice and inspect in the field. Available in high-visibilty colors.
Quantum-12 | A 12-strand made with Dyneema® and DPX™ Technology for added grip – an excellent choice for traction winches.
Quantum-8 | Similar to Quantum-12 in an 8-strand braided construction. Firmer and rounder than 12-strand braided constructions.
Neutron-8 | Samson’s strongest Dyneema® fiber rope design, patented 8×3 construction. This rope is a firmer construction than 12-strands.
Turbo-75 | Samson’s premier jacketed core-dependent braid that incorporates a tightly woven Dyneema® fiber jacket (for cut and wear resistance) over a single-braid core of same material.
M-8 | An 8-strand plaited rope with 3-strand subcores. Subcores wrapped with filtration barrier and a braided cover. 100% Dyneema®.
Samson Takes the Heavy out of Heavylift Slings

Samson Takes the HEAVY Out of Heavylift Slings

Samson slings made with Dyneema high-performance synthetic ropes outperform wire and other synthetic alternatives

Save time and increase work-site safety with slings fabricated from easy handling, ultra-strong Samson high-performance ropes.
Ultra-strong high-performance synthetic ropes are as strong as wire rope, size-for-size, yet weigh only one-seventh as much. That means rigging is easier, requiring no additional equipment to HMPE Ropes are at least as strong as the wire they replace, 1/7th the weight, and last at least 3 times longer.move and handle the slings, and workplaces are safer and more efficient. There’sminimal chance of damage to critical payloads or other installation equipment.

Neutrally buoyant in seawater, Samson slings make critical subsurface load transfers (the “wet handshake” procedure) much simpler, requiring less time and horsepower from the ROVs that handle them.

Technip personnel prerig the hardware packages with 88-mm AmSteel-Blue grommets.In an industry where experience counts, we’ve accumulated more than any other manufacturer.
We’ve got more experience designing and manufacturing high-performance, high modulus polyethylene (HMPE) ropes for critical marine applications than anyone else in the business. Since the early 1980s when Samson pioneered manufacturing ropes using HMPE fiber, we’ve amassed more information, done more testing in our labs, and conducted more field trials in partnerships with fleet owners and users than anyone else in the industry. From testing promising new fiber combinations and constructions to residual strength testing of ropes used in critical applications, we’ve developed a knowledge base on synthetic rope performance and design that is second to none. All that experience is built into each set of slings we deliver.


Synthetic Rope Slings vs.
Steel & Synthetic Round SlingsGreater Gabbard Project

As strong as steel, lighter than round slings—synthetics are the perfect fit for heavylift applications.
High-performance synthetic rope slings offer the best combination of benefits when planning heavylift operations. Light weight means more than easier handling. Safety of crews is increased, and additional equipment is not required for positioning during rigging. For subsea operations, neutral buoyancy facilitates handling by ROVs while not adding to the payload weight.

Synthetic Rope Slings vs. Wire Rope Slings

  • Safer operations
  • More efficient rigging—saves time
  • Neutral buoyancy for subsea operations
  • No contact damage to the payload

Synthetic Rope Slings vs. Cable-Laid Steel Wire Rope Slings

  • Reduced fabrication costs
  • Dramatic weight savings
  • Easier handling without additional equipment
  • Equal strength

Synthetic Rope Slings vs. Round Slings

  • More robust construction
  • Withstands abuse and abrasion better
  • Long lengths easily fabricated
