Synthetic Web Slings

Synthetic Web Slings are cost-effective, lightweight, versatile, and easily stored. In fact, they come in a variety of widths/thicknesses and are constructed of flat webbing that can be layered into plys. Furthermore, the more plys, the stronger the sling. On the whole, the most common sizes usually vary in widths of 1″, 2″, 3″ and 4″.

 

 

Flat Eyes – Type 3 Slings

Type 3 Slings are furnished with an eye or loop sewn on each end of the sling in a flat configuration to allow for passage through narrow spaces. Ultimately, slings 3″ or wider have tapered eyes unless specified otherwise.

Twisted Eyes – Type 4 Slings

Type 4 Slings are the same as Type 3 Slings except the eyes are twisted before sewing. Ultimately, this twisting allows for a better choker hitch and lets the eyes of the sling nest together better on a crane hook when it is used in a basket hitch. In general, the rated capacities are in pounds. Additionally, type 4 slings 3″ or wider have tapered eyes unless specified otherwise.
