Need a rigging sling that will not scratch, dent, or gouge a finished load? A polyester round sling is built soft on the outside and strong on the inside, made from a continuous loop of polyester yarn wrapped in a protective jacket. At 100,000 lb., it’s built for the heaviest lifts in our lineup while staying lighter and more forgiving on your cargo than a comparable chain or wire rope sling.
Key Features
- This endless sling design, common across our polyester lifting slings, lets you rotate the load-bearing area with each lift, spreading out wear instead of concentrating it in one spot.
- Woven polyester jacket guards the load-bearing core against abrasion, dirt, and sunlight, and holds up against bleach, soap, detergent, crude oil, and lubricants.
- 100,000 lb. capacity, rated for basket, vertical, and choker hitch lifts.
- Measured bearing point to bearing point, so confirm your length before ordering.
- Domestically manufactured for consistent quality control.
- Meets or exceeds ASME B30.26, WSTDA RS-1, and OSHA requirements.
- Sewn-in tag lists load limits and a traceable serial number, tucked under a plastic cover for protection.
- Handles temperatures from -40F/-40C to 194F/90C, so it works year-round in most climates.
- Ask about proof testing certification at checkout; available for a small added fee.
- Easy to store: keep it dry, shaded, and cool between jobs to protect its service life.
Applications
- A go-to option among round lifting slings for jobs where chain or wire rope would mark up the load.
- Works in basket, vertical, and choker configurations, so one polyester lifting sling covers several rigging setups.
- Like other polyester slings, this one offers less stretch than nylon under a heavy pull.
- Suited to outdoor yards and shops with wide seasonal temperature swings.
Installation
- As with any polyester sling, look over the jacket, stitching, and tag for cuts, fraying, or sun damage before each use.
- Run your rigging plan and hitch selection past a qualified rigger for anything outside routine use.
- Every lift should fall within OSHA rules and your site’s rigging procedures.
