Lifting & Rigging
NLS supplies lifting slings and shackles for Saudi construction and industrial lifting operations, sourcing round and webbing slings alongside bow and dee shackles rated across common working load limits with traceable proof-load certification. Quotes are built against a lift plan or rigging schedule rather than a generic catalog list, priced in USD with delivery timed to site mobilization.
What NLS supplies in lifting and rigging
Rigging packages on Saudi sites center on two items that have to be rated, tagged and traceable before they touch a load: slings and shackles. NLS sources round slings and webbing slings in polyester construction across common working load limits from roughly 1 tonne up to 20 tonnes and beyond for heavier lifts, and bow and dee shackles in galvanized and alloy steel rated to match, sized from small rigging hardware up to heavy crane-lift shackles.
Every piece that goes out carries a working load limit tag and, where the project's lift plan requires it, a proof-load test certificate traceable to the manufacturer's batch. NLS treats a rigging order the same way it treats a piping or structural BOQ, matched against the actual lift plan (load weight, center of gravity, sling angle) rather than a generic "send some slings" request, since an undersized sling or shackle on a critical lift isn't a paperwork problem, it's a safety failure waiting to happen.
How sourcing and pricing work
Sling and shackle pricing depends on working load limit, material grade and certification level, with alloy steel shackles costing more than standard grade for the same nominal capacity because of the higher proof-load margin. NLS quotes in USD against a rigging schedule or lift plan, with lead time running one to three weeks for common capacities held in regional stock and four to eight weeks for higher-capacity or non-standard items sourced against a specific certification requirement.
Why project buyers use NLS for lifting and rigging
Aviation infrastructure projects in Saudi Arabia, a category NLS currently supplies into, involve crane lifts around structures where a rigging failure isn't a schedule delay, it's an incident report, so NLS builds the rigging quote from the lift plan rather than a stock list and flags any capacity gap before the equipment reaches site. NLS is a Saudi-registered company based in Riyadh, prices rigging hardware in USD and handles local delivery in SAR, and quotes lifting equipment alongside the rest of a project's mechanical package, steel, valves and tools included, so a contractor's rigging needs close out against the same RFQ as everything else going into the job.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who supplies lifting slings and shackles in Saudi Arabia?+
NLS sources round and webbing slings alongside bow and dee shackles rated across common working load limits, quoted against a project's lift plan or rigging schedule rather than a generic catalog list.
Does NLS provide proof-load certificates for rigging equipment?+
Yes. Every piece carries a working load limit tag, and where a project's lift plan requires it, a proof-load test certificate traceable to the manufacturer's batch comes with the shipment.
How does NLS size a sling or shackle for a lift?+
NLS matches the equipment to the actual lift plan, load weight, center of gravity and sling angle, rather than pricing a generic sling order, since an undersized piece on a critical lift is a safety risk.
What's the lead time on lifting equipment in Saudi Arabia?+
Common capacities held in regional stock typically ship in one to three weeks, extending to four to eight weeks for higher-capacity or non-standard items sourced against a specific certification requirement.
Does NLS supply rigging equipment for aviation infrastructure projects?+
Yes. NLS currently supplies aviation infrastructure projects in Saudi Arabia, where crane lifts around structures make rigging failure a safety incident rather than a delay, and quotes equipment matched to the lift plan.
