I hate it when people reply with"the problem is...."
however - i think insurance companies and H&S Inspectors are so focussed on ratings and loads that it will be difficult to hire them - rather like chain saw hire has gone out of vogue.
That said, my yacht club has a telehoist and I though I saw a set of slings that had been consigned to the 'out of service' bin
I'll ask and get back to you.

Try Alasdair at Scotia Rigging. I know they test these sort of things but might have some hanging about so to speak....

No joy at the yacht club I'm afraid - sorry if I raised false hope

B O Bs Maybe bit late with this.
Give Keith Russel (manager of Offshore Workboats Ltd), Rothesay Dock Clydebank, he might be able to help as they have a 75 ton Wise hoist and I think they might have a few sets of slings.
Keith is a Gem of a guy and so helpful, he might just rent u a set for a very limited period of time.
Get Keith on; 07979470206 Tell him I (Eamonn) put u on to him,he may require some kind of guarantee/security/deposit etc.
