MARKET LEADING ENGINEERING
Enelift sets the benchmark.
The case for making the switch. From safety to sustainability, here is why Hinge-Lok® and the Integral Sling System® are the industry’s most complete solution.
01 — COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
What sets us apart.
A direct comparison on the factors that matter to operators, HSE and procurement.
| Factor | Hinge-Lok® | Competitor |
|---|---|---|
| Locking hardware | 4 integrated Nord-Lock® nuts Low dropped-object risk | 24 to 32 fully detachable nuts High dropped-object risk |
| Frame construction | Zero welds Fully extruded aluminium | Multiple welds Weld exposure |
| Material | Recycled AW6082 T6 aluminium | Aluminium & steel |
| Manufacturing emissions | Low Up to 95% lower energy use | High, steel & primary metal |
| End-of-life recyclability | Over 95% recyclable | Partially recyclable |
SIX KEY BENEFITS
Safer
Up to 80% reduction in crane lifts
Only 4 captive Nord-Lock® nuts, sub-15 kg components and fewer, secured lifts.
Greener
95% carbon footprint reduction
Recycled AW6082 T6 aluminium, 95% recyclable and 95% lower manufacturing energy requirement.
Faster
50% less time and handling
Customers report improved loading efficiency and reduced handling.
Stackable
50% less space
Secure system stacking cuts deck and storage needs. Fits standard CCUs for efficient returns.
Cheaper
50% reduced cost per lift
Cost-per-lift reduction compared with conventional bundling.
Proven
DNV, NORSOK, ISO
Tested beyond DNV requirements; ISO 9001 & NORSOK; in service worldwide since 2018.
03 — THE BUSINESS CASE
The numbers that matter.
Real-world data from operations using Hinge-Lok® vs traditional bundling methods.
Hinge-Lok® rental vs sling costs plus crane hire. Excludes savings from reduced personnel, backload costs and eliminated re-tallying offshore.
04 — SUSTAINABILITY
Built to last.
Hinge-Lok® is manufactured from 100% REDUXA recycled aluminium, certified by DNV GL to ISO 14064. Recycled aluminium uses up to 95% less energy than primary production, and produces a fraction of the CO₂.
At end of life, over 95% of every Hinge-Lok® frame is recyclable. The remaining 5%, the locking pins, can be reconditioned and reused in future systems. That is a true circular economy, not a claim.
Competitor systems often use a combination of aluminium and steel, a material with significantly higher CO₂ emissions at every stage and reduced end-of-life recyclability.
All performance figures are based on operational and customer data. 'Up to' framing applies to all quantified claims.
RECYCLABILITY
>95%
Recyclable at end of life. The only tubular handling system with full recyclability.
