Introduction
Handling pipes, especially concrete water and sewer pipes, no longer needs to be challenging. The Holloway Tea Cup Sling is designed to make this process smooth, safe, and efficient. With easy installation and application, our Tea Cup Sling allows you to handle pipes easily.
How It Works
The Tea Cup Sling is very easy to use. Simply drill an appropriately sized hole in the pipe, thread the sling through the hole, connect it to the Tea Cup, and you’re ready to lift. It’s as easy as that! This tool is available in different sizes, with varying load capacities that can handle up to 37 tons. Also, we offer eight sizes of Tea Cup Slings so you can purchase them simultaneously with your Tea Cup Pipe Carrier.
