Mo-Clamp Lifting Sling
Mo-Clamp Lifting Slings Built for the Body Shop
Most lifting slings are designed for rigging yards and construction sites. Mo-Clamp's slings come from a different world: the collision repair bay. The Oregon-based company is best known as the originator of the self-tightening clamp with a patented wedge pulling ring. Its slings are designed to work alongside those clamps, chains and frame machines, where the job is to pull and anchor a damaged vehicle without causing more damage in the process.
Why Nylon Slings Matter in Collision Work
Steel chain is strong, but it can scrape paint, crush edges and slip on awkwardly shaped components. A wide nylon sling spreads load across a larger surface and conforms to the part it wraps. Mo-Clamp's slings are sold for pulling around pillars, window frames, control arms, suspension points and frame sections where a clamp or hook cannot get a good bite. They can be rigged as a choker or a wrap-around, which gives technicians flexibility when setting up a pull on a frame machine or tower.
Notable Mo-Clamp Sling Styles
- Standard nylon slings (30" and 60"): The 30-inch Nylon Lifting Sling #6300 and 60-inch Nylon Lifting Sling #6303 use sewn loops, and are described by sellers as 3-inch wide nylon webbing. The 6300 is listed with a 2.5-ton vertical rating and up to 5 tons in a basket configuration.
- Triangle-end slings: The 20-inch Nylon Sling with Metal Triangles #6301 uses 4-inch wide nylon with metal triangle end fittings for secure connection points, and is listed at 2 tons of capacity.
- Jumbo Nylon Sling: The 60-inch #6319 and the 10-foot #6750 offer extra size for wrapping larger components. Listings for the 6319 cite capacities of 6 tons vertical, 4.8 tons choke and 12 tons basket.
- Mo-Flex Slings: The 36-inch #6380 and 60-inch #6381 round out the nylon lineup.
- Securing and cable slings: Mo-Clamp's catalog also includes securing slings and a heavy duty cable sling (#6350) for pulls where wire rope suits the application.
What Sets Mo-Clamp Apart
Mo-Clamp positions itself around professional collision repair. The company states that its products are made in the USA, and describes a lifetime warranty as something no other collision body product maker offers. Because the slings are developed by a company focused on body shop tooling rather than general rigging, they are sized and configured for typical frame-pulling setups, with ends and lengths that pair with Mo-Clamp chains, hooks and clamps.
Shopping Considerations
- Match the rating to the pull: Check vertical, choke and basket capacities, since a choker hitch carries less than a straight vertical lift.
- Choose length and width for the job: Shorter slings suit tight suspension points, while longer or wider slings wrap pillars and large structural members.
- Inspect before every use: Cuts, heat damage, chemical exposure or worn stitching mean a nylon sling should be retired.
