Discover the Ray Allen Sling for K9 Lifting and Loading

Jul 10th 2024

At Ray Allen Manufacturing, we are dedicated to providing the best equipment for working dogs and their handlers. Today, we're spotlighting a long-standing product in our catalog—the Ray Allen Sling. This versatile piece of gear is designed for lifting and loading K9s in various challenging scenarios, from building extractions to water rescues.

A Closer Look at the Ray Allen Sling

The Ray Allen Sling has been a staple in our lineup for over 20 years. It is crafted with 1000 denier Cordura and features webbing rated for a 2000-pound load, ensuring durability and strength. This heavy-duty construction makes it ideal for demanding tasks like lowering a dog down the side of a building or maneuvering them in and out of boats.

The sling incorporates a Black Diamond Carabiner, known for its reliability and secure locking mechanism. Additionally, a cross strap helps to securely sandwich the dog in place, providing stability during lifts and transport.

Consider Upgrading to a Harness

While the Ray Allen Sling is well-built and effective, advancements in K9 harness technology offer more streamlined options for lifting and loading. Many of our newer harnesses provide similar functionality with less bulk and more convenience. These modern solutions often include features like switch seat options and are designed to enhance both the handler's and the dog's experience.
