Seamless Round Slings

Round Slings are particularly useful for lifting loads of a fragile nature and which may be damaged by the harder webbing.

Round Slings are manufactured to BS EN 1492-2:2000 with a safety factor of 7:1 from 100% polyester.

The outer cover is a seamless polyester sleeve which has excellent abrasion resistance.

The core consists of a continuous hank of high tenacity polyester yarn which is immensely strong and durable.

Due to the parallel fibres in the core the stretch experienced with a round sling is less than 3% at the safe working load.

Round slings, as with flat webbing slings, are colour coded for ease of identification and are available in a complete range of sizes and strengths. Liftek supplies round slings with a capacity of up to 125 tons.

Advantages of Webbing Slings and Round Slings

• All slings are individually numbered for traceability and safety.

• Lighter than chain or wire rope – less likely to cause injury if left swinging from crane.

• Less weight – less risk of back injuries, lower transport and shipping costs.

• Supple – can adapt to fit the load without damaging the lad or the webbing. Chain may kink and cause damage to both the load and chain.

• No hidden corrosion – can be easily checked by eye for damage – if it looks all right, it is all right.

• Does not weaken with age.

• Ability to absorb shocks.
