Missile hoisting sling

摘要

A hoisting sling for handling a missile by its mounting lugs wherein the aft lugs include a matched pair of inwardly facing spaced apart angled members fixedly attached to the body of the missile and the forward lug includes an upwardly extending headed pin element. The sling consists of a heavy flat textile tape with a forward slotted grip on one end for engaging the forward headed lug and an angled grip on the other end for sliding engagement with the rearward spaced lugs on the missile so that the missile can be lifted and transported by engagement with a standard fork lift truck.
