Frequently Asked Questions
Beyond sales and rental, Holloway Houston provides proof load testing, break load testing, rigging inspections, and fabrication of custom rigging assemblies. Proof load testing verifies that a sling or assembly can handle its rated load before it goes into service ,a requirement in some industry specifications and contracts. Inspection services cover the full range of below-the-hook rigging: slings, shackles, hooks, and hardware.
Proof load testing applies a known load ,typically 125% to 200% of the working load limit, depending on the standard ,to a sling or rigging assembly to verify it holds without permanent deformation. It's required for new custom assemblies, equipment that has been repaired, and in some industry specifications for offshore, crane, and pressure-vessel applications. OSHA 1926.251(c)(2) references proof testing for custom lifting accessories. Holloway Houston performs proof load testing on its equipment in-house.
Holloway Houston manufactures round slings, flat web slings, and chain slings in its Houston facility. This makes Holloway Houston both a manufacturer ,for its own sling lines ,and a distributor for hardware from Crosby, Peerless, and other OEMs. Manufacturing in-house means Holloway Houston can build to specific length, capacity, or configuration requirements rather than being limited to catalog sizes. Custom assemblies are available for project-specific applications.
Yes. The MorBar division handles rental of spreader bars, wire rope slings, shackles, and other rigging hardware for turnarounds, shutdowns, and project-based applications. Rental is the practical choice when the equipment is only needed for a short period and the cost of purchase plus storage and inspection would exceed the rental cost for the project duration.
Holloway Houston maintains Houston warehouse stock for quick-turnaround orders across the Gulf Coast industrial corridor , refineries, petrochemical plants, marine terminals, and construction projects. Same-day pickup and rapid shipping support tight project timelines. The team works with project managers and rigging coordinators from the planning stage through equipment return, with inspection and documentation support throughout.
