Storm Surge Slings

Storm Surge Slings are Holloway Houston's emergency lifting slings, designed for recovery and rescue operations where speed of deployment and resistance to the conditions of a disaster or flood environment are the priorities. Available in 1/2-inch, 5/8-inch, and 3/4-inch diameters in fixed and adjustable lengths, these slings are ready when the call comes. Houston made. Ships from stock.

Storm Surge Slings for Emergency Recovery

Storm Surge Slings are purpose-made for emergency lifting and recovery operations - flood rescue, disaster response, and emergency equipment retrieval where standard rigging gear may not be pre-positioned and crews need a sling that can be deployed fast. The synthetic fiber handles wet conditions and provides the flexibility to work around debris and irregular load shapes common in recovery environments.

Holloway Houston manufactures Storm Surge Slings in Houston, Texas. The line covers three diameters (1/2 inch, 5/8 inch, 3/4 inch) with both fixed and adjustable length options, giving response teams flexibility across varying load sizes and lift geometries.

Storm Surge Sling Applications

Flood and Disaster Response - Vehicle and equipment extraction in flood and storm damage environments where slings need to handle wet, debris-laden conditions.
Emergency Equipment Recovery - Recovering submerged or displaced machinery, generators, and infrastructure equipment during disaster recovery operations.
Search and Rescue - Supporting rigging needs for SAR teams operating in the field with compact, fast-deploying sling equipment.
Municipal and Emergency Services - Government and emergency response fleets that pre-position lifting equipment for rapid deployment.

Why Holloway Houston

Holloway Houston manufactures Storm Surge Slings in-house at its Houston, Texas facility - the same city that has experienced major hurricane and flood events and understands the demand for dependable emergency lifting equipment. Our 65-year rigging background means the engineering behind these slings reflects real-world recovery conditions, not just catalog specifications.

ISO 9001 certification governs manufacturing. All slings ship with the required identification tags for field traceability.

Sling Inspection

Storm Surge Slings are synthetic slings governed by ASME B30.9. After deployment in flood or recovery environments, slings warrant inspection for chemical contamination, physical damage, and ID tag legibility before return to service. Holloway Houston's inspection team can assess condition post-deployment.
