Radius and InspHigher Join Forces to Produce Sling Tension Video

We are proud to announce that Radius Group has teamed up with InspHigher to produce an in-depth sling tension video tailored for professionals in the lifting industry!

The lifting industry plays a crucial role in the construction, manufacturing, shipping, and logistics sectors – where the safe and efficient movement of heavy loads is paramount. Understanding how the angle of slings and lifting accessories impacts the tension is crucial for safety, as errors in calculating sling angles or tension can result in failure of the slings, lifting points or even the load itself..

This video is intended to provide a clear, practical demonstration on:

  • How the angle of lifting accessories affects the tension in the arrangements.
  • Why there are maximum recommended angles for lifting assemblies.
  • How the length of slings can change the distribution of load throughout a multi-leg slinging arrangement

By addressing this essential topic, we’re helping teams improve safety, efficiency, and accuracy in their lifting operations—ultimately contributing to a safer work environment and reducing downtime. Whether you’re new to lifting operations or an experienced professional, this video is a must-watch! Let’s continue to work smarter & safer together.
