Endless Polyester Round Slings
5:1 Design Factor, Suitable for Overhead Lifting.
Strong, lightweight, and cost-effective, polyester round slings are a popular choice for lifting applications today. Constructed using high-strength polyester fibers, these round slings are created by pulling loosely twisted strands through a tough, woven tube, forming a durable and high-performance lifting sling.
Polyester round slings can be configured as eye x eye type slings, but they are most commonly used in an endless grommet shape. The capacity of the sling increases with the number of fiber strands inside the tube. To easily identify different capacities, a standardized color scheme is used:
Purple: 2600 lbs vertical capacity
Green: 5400 lbs vertical capacity
Yellow: 8400 lbs vertical capacity
Tan: 10600 lbs vertical capacity
E-Rigging offers these slings in various lengths, adhering to these standardized colors and capacities. Ideal for a range of lifting needs, our polyester round slings provide strength, durability, and reliability.
