After fabrication comes the real proof — load testing.

This short recaps the final steps of building a 9-part Bishop Lifting braided sling before it moves onto the test bed. A sling like this takes time, coordination, and multiple people working across different parts of the shop to get it ready.

Each 9-part sling can take about an hour to complete, passing through up to 8 team members before testing validates the build.

For custom braided slings, performance is not assumed — it is checked, tested, and verified before the sling ever reaches the field.

Something you don’t see going out on rent every day.

Our Angleton team is sending out four 100-ton air chain hoists for a large-scale project — the kind of rental order that takes coordination, preparation, and a team that knows how to handle heavy-duty equipment.

When customers need serious lifting capacity, having the right rental partner matters. From inspection and readiness to logistics and support, our team works to make sure the equipment is ready when the job demands it.

Big shoutout to the Angleton team for stepping up once again on a major project.

And this is just the beginning…

A big thank you to our Grand Junction team for an outstanding job.

Last month, the team successfully completed a large, time-sensitive order—delivering (44) 1-1/8" x 500'–700' galvanized wire rope assemblies to support a major infrastructure project.

These assemblies will be used in a grid anchor system for docks and fueling operations, where performance, reliability, and precision are critical.

Projects like this don’t come together without strong coordination, craftsmanship, and attention to detail—and the Grand Junction team delivered on all fronts.

We truly appreciate the hard work, dedication, and commitment it took to get this done.

Great job, and thank you for continuing to represent Bishop Lifting at a high level.

What you can’t see in a rope can still cost you in the field.

Here’s a live-action look at a Scope rope inspection job in progress.

Scope is an AI-assisted rope inspection service that helps evaluate rope condition beyond a standard visual check. During the inspection, the rope is spooled through the Scope device while sensors scan the line, detect potential damage, and generate a projected break strength by segment.

With the help of our spooling trucks and field equipment, this service can also be taken mobile — bringing advanced rope inspection capabilities directly to the jobsite when needed.

That means crews can identify problem areas, review inspection data, and make more informed decisions before the rope goes back into service.

For applications like utility stringing, pulling lines, and other critical rope operations, this kind of inspection can help reduce guesswork, improve visibility, and support safer planning.

The goal is simple:
Find issues before they become failures.

Taking it a step further—this is what it looks like to build a 9-part LiftMax sling from the ground up.

In a previous video, we walked through the fabrication and testing of a 3-part system. This time, we’re scaling that process into a 9-part configuration, where precision, alignment, and load distribution become even more critical.

Multi-part lifting systems like this are used in heavy lifting operations, crane rigging, and engineered lifts where increased capacity and controlled load handling are required. But as the number of parts increases, so does the complexity.

In this build, our team focuses on:

System assembly and configuration for a 9-part sling

Sheave alignment and reeving accuracy

Equal load distribution across all parts

Hardware integration and connection points

Minimizing friction loss and inefficiencies

A 9-part system isn’t just a scaled-up version of a 3-part—it requires a deeper understanding of load sharing, efficiency, and system balance to perform correctly under real working conditions.

Every detail matters. Improper splicing, misalignment, or uneven loading can significantly impact capacity and safety during a lift.

At Bishop Lifting, we design and build engineered lifting solutions and multi-part rigging systems that are built to perform in the field—not just in theory.

It’s why we produce some of the most advanced and reliable Heavy Lift Slings in the country.

If you’re running high-capacity lifts or complex rigging setups, this is the level of detail required to get it right.

When the job calls for specialized slings, capability matters.

Here’s a large order of 3-part and 9-part Bishop Lifting braided slings completed by our Houston branch and heading out to a customer.

These aren’t everyday off-the-shelf assemblies. Multi-part braided slings require the right equipment, experienced hands, and the technical knowledge to build them correctly from start to finish.

That’s where our team delivers.

From fabrication to final inspection, every sling is built with the application in mind — helping customers get the strength, flexibility, and load control they need for demanding lifts.

Big shoutout to our Houston team for turning out a strong order and showcasing one of the specialized capabilities available through Bishop Lifting.

Custom assemblies built to the customer’s spec.

Here’s a look at a large batch of chain sling assemblies completed by our team, built around specific hardware requirements provided for the job.

Not every lift calls for a standard off-the-shelf setup. Sometimes the customer has a defined spec, preferred components, or a specific configuration they need us to match — and that’s where custom assembly work matters.

Our team built these chain slings using the specified component combination while maintaining the quality, traceability, and attention to detail each assembly demands.

From component selection to final assembly, every connection matters.

Whether it’s chain slings, wire rope slings, synthetic slings, or custom rigging solutions, we build the right assembly for the application — not just what’s sitting on the shelf.

Built to the specs. Finished for the field.

Here’s a look at a custom 2-leg wire rope bridle sling built by our team.

Specs:
1-1/4" wire rope
14 ft length
2-leg assembly
Flemish eye splices
Thimbled eyes for added protection and durability

Wire rope assemblies like this are built for applications where strength, consistency, and proper load control matter. Every detail — from the splice to the finished eye — plays a role in how the sling performs in the field.

Custom work like this is what our fabrication teams do every day: build the right assembly for the job, not just what’s sitting on a shelf.
