Low Height Kit includes: Spreader beam, short lifting sling, bracket set & hardware.

This sling kit is for use when there are overhead height restrictions, for example when the Seadoo is being lifted in a garage space on a sliding beam crane with extendable boom or slewing beam crane.

The low height jetski sling is adjustable in length, minimum 60cm - maximum 75cm. For safest operation and least pressure on the brackets, maintain the longest sling length that you can use for your set up.

▼ Are the jetski lifting sling kits easy to install?

You will need a tape measure, masking tape, pen / pencil, 10mm spanner and 4mm allen key to complete the installation.
▼ Are the jetski slings Safe Working Load (SWL) tested?
Safe Working Load (SWL) testing can only be performed once a lifting sling kit is installed, which is the same whether it be for a tender, jetski or other. All components are BS/EU certified. It is strongly recommended to proof load to 110% of the SWL at the time of installation.
