SLING SELECTION
Which Type of Sling Should I Choose?
General Use of Di昀昀erent Types of Slings
Synthetic Slings - Lightweight and 昀氀exible, synthetic
slings reduce fatigue and strain on riggers. Web slings can be
ordered in a wide variety of materials and con昀椀gurations, from
eye/eye to wide-lifts to bridles. Tuflex® roundslings with colorcoded capacities, KeyFlex™ Aramid roundslings and DynaFlex™
Dyneema® roundslings are easy to use, especially in choker hitch
con昀椀gurations.Synthetic slings o昀昀er the greatest range of lifting
solutions for your application.
Wire Rope Slings - The most common and lowest cost sling
per capacity. Wire rope slings are abrasion resistant, yet 昀氀exible.
Perfect for the construction industry and anywhere heavy loads
and rugged conditions exist.
Chain Slings - Alloy chain slings combine superior strength,
ease of handling and durability. Chain slings are a great solution
where elevated temperatures or severe lift conditions are present.
Typical chain sling applications are found in steel mills, foundries
and heavy machining operations.
Wire Mesh and Chain Mesh Slings - These slings excel
in lifting objects that are hot or have sharp edges, such as bar
stock or plate steel. Mesh slings greatly enhance load balancing
due to their wide load bearing surface. You will 昀椀nd mesh slings
used in machine shops and steel warehouses.
