Osprey Aspire Deluxe Sling

Sling & Hoist Compatibility Statement

The Osprey Sling Company makes slings for many hoist manufacturers, both in the UK and for leading European companies. Interchanging slings has been an issue for many professionals over the years and this is an understandable concern with the vast variety of both hoists and slings available.

There may be reluctance by certain hoist manufacturers to accept the compatibility of other slings with their hoists, however, British and European standards BSEN10535, suggests that compatibility between hoists and slings is the responsibility of the sling manufacturer.

Quality Standards

The Osprey Sling Company works within the requirements of the Medical Devices Directive. The requirements are that The Osprey Sling Company can produce documented evidence in line with Medical Device Directive 93/42EEC, to prove that they have tested all configurations of their slings in durability and fatigue on all potential hoists being used.

All of our slings have been tested beyond the requirements set out in BS EN ISO 10535:1998, by a leading name in the industry and carry the CE Mark.

Public & Products Liability

Our Insurers provide us with Public and Products liability cover to the sum of two million pounds in respect of injury or damage in the use of slings supplied by our company.

Full insurance certificates are available on request.
