The Slinger Beam Rotator lifts and rotates your heavy beams and columns, without the use of overhead cranes or forklifts, and allow your fitters and welders to function autonomously, significantly improving your fit and weld efficiency, your overall productivity and profitability.
All you have to do is spend some time watching your fitting and welding stations, and you soon realize that so much of your fitter and welder’s time is wasted waiting for the overhead crane or forklift to turn-over heavy beams and columns.
Sure there are several beam rotators on the market but they are large, heavy and super expensive. The Ocean SLINGER is not. It is a superbly simple solution that does it faster, and requires a significantly smaller capital outlay.
The Ocean Slinger Beam Rotator comes in two standard sizes, a 4 Ton and a 6 Ton, and these two sizes handle about 99% of all structural beam and column welding. If you need something special, please ask as we have many custom solutions available.
Using a rugged hand-held remote control, your welder activates the SLINGER’s internal hydraulic unit to activate pistons that lifts elevates the machine column with the slings attached. That lifts the beam off the work trestles, and allows your operator to rotate the part to any inclination and height that makes it more comfortable and ergonomic for him to fit and weld throughout the shift.
The Ocean Slinger is a durable heavy-duty quality machine, built to the highest safety standards, and features standard off-the shelf hydraulic and electrical components for fast and easy servicing. Supported by Ocean Machinery’s legendary after sales service!

Who is the ideal customer for the Ocean SLINGER?
Here are some of the more commonly asked questions
No, it cannot. It needs 3-phase 460v/480v to drive the hydraulic unit which powers the lifting cylinders as well as the direct drive rotational motor
The SLINGER needs 3KW
Trestles are typically loaded with an overhead crane or forklift
No, we do not but we can supply drawings, but honestly any type of saw horse will do as long as the height is not too tall and not too low. If they are too tall, then the Slinger will not be able to rotate the part without interference, and it they are too low, the SLINGER will not be able to lift the part sufficiently to rotate it
