Trusted Rigging Products & Services for North Texas Since 1951

Union Sling Company, a cornerstone in the North Texas rigging industry for over 70 years, was founded in 1951 by Charles W. Dennis Sr. His journey from humble beginnings, picking cotton in rural Texas to becoming a self-made entrepreneur, is a testament to perseverance. Starting as an ironworker, Dennis recognized the need for safer ground-level work and began a small sling fabrication business in his backyard. Initially a side project, Union Sling grew rapidly due to the quality and reliability of its products, which set a new standard in the industry. By 1963, the company’s growth necessitated a move to its current location, solidifying its position as an independent and trusted provider for a range of rigging solutions.
Today, Union Sling continues to operate with the same principles that shaped its history: dedication to quality, on-time service, and value. The company offers a diverse catalog including wire ropes, chain slings, safety harnesses, and custom assemblies. Its commitment to precision and safety has made it a trusted partner for industrial projects across Dallas and North Texas.
With a focus on customer satisfaction, Union Sling provides not just products but also proof testing, fabrication services, and fall protection equipment repair. Their long-standing reputation is built on a foundation of customer trust and a dedication to the North Texas community. As they look ahead, Union Sling remains committed to the same values that defined its past.
