A G I L E® L I F T I N G S Y S T E M When weight is the enemy, make AGILE your ally.
AGILE ENABLES
What makes AGILE so AGILE?
Software design tools simplify lifting and logistics planning
As today’s payloads continue to push the limits of engineered lifts, traditional rigging has become heavier— and therefore more difficult to handle. As complexity increases, so does the possibility of costly delays, safety risks, and increased operating expenses for construction contractors and lift planners. AGILE Lifting System is a patented design to address the concerns for weight, safety, scheduling, and handling of engineered lifts requiring sling strengths of 50 mt– 4,000 mt. Utilizing the proven rope technology AmSteel®-Blue synthetic lines that Samson is known for, AGILE is a hybrid product that combines the advantages of both round and rope slings into one lightweight, easy-to-handle rigging system for heavy payloads.
80% lighter rigging enables: > safer, faster handling > reduced rigging time > increased lift capacity > no need for auxiliary cranes to support
Short lead times
A hybrid design that pairs the strength of Samson’s high-performance synthetic ropes with a protective cover to create a form similar to round slings, without the limitations.

The information presented here is for use with Samson AmSteel ®-Blue lifting slings only. This information does not apply for slings made with any other rope product. > Use only Samson approved splices for the fabrication of ® AmSteel -Blue slings. > All WLLs listed are based on a 5:1 factor of safety and ISO strength rating. > Strengths are for new slings only. Refer to Samson’s Inspection and Retirement criteria to evaluate used slings. > Developed to be consistent with ASME B30.9.
D/d Reductions Samson understands, through extensive testing, that D/d
reductions can effect strength efficiencies in grommet and basket configurations. Please contact Samson for more information on these reductions and access to the Sling Configurator.
Length Tolerances Samson’s network of master fabricating distributors have the engineering and fabricating expertise to meet precise length tolerances.
