Fibre Lifting Slings; Flat Web and Round (Endless)
LiftingSafety offers a range of synthetic (man-made fibre) lifting slings designed to be lightweight and help prevent or minimise damage to the items being lifted. A synthetic webbing sling is also often referred to by a variety of different names, such as lifting strap/strop, belt sling, polyester lifting sling, flat web lifting sling, belt webbing, woven sling, simplex or duplex sling, round sling or endless slings.
Soft slings like this are either made as a duplex or simplex flat webbing or endless round slings. All are made from the same core materials, which are typically polyester or Dyneema. Polyester and Dyneema are both synthetic (man-made) materials; polyester slings are lightweight and very competitively priced; Dyneema lifting slings are extremely lightweight and compact offering a greater working load limit than polyester. This feature makes the Dyneema a little more expensive than a standard polyester sling, although Dyneema lifting slings start to re-pay their original extra purchase cost as soon as they are put to work lifting heavy loads increasing productivity and time savings because they are so compact, lightweight and easy to handle when compared to steel chains or wire ropes.
A flat web sling (webbing sling) is a type of lifting sling with an eye at each end, rather than never-ending like a round sling. Round slings are lifting slings which are endless giving them the potential to double their safe working load when lifting in a basket shape. The core of a round sling is wrapped around polyester/Dyneema fibres which are then protected by an outer sleeve/sheath. Specialist slings are also available such as dyneema and super techlon which have a high resistance feature.

Adds maximum versatility a round slings and flat webbing slings. Simply thread the roundsling or the eye of a flat webbing sling into the J hook, without the need for any tools and then attach the hook to the lifting point of the materials to be lifted. Then place the flat sling or round sling over the crane hook and its ready to lift. All J Hooks are colour coded by capacity to match the colour of a lifting sling e.g. Purple sling = purple J hook. The J hook can also bring two slings together problem free. A fool-proof solution for safe and efficient operation!

The RH is a connector as well as a hook, which gives the user increased flexibility.
Can, at any time, be inserted into the soft sling and give a safer and quicker assembly than a shackle, and will be the ideal solution when you want to increase the use of your soft slings, without jeopardise the safety of your personnel and goods.
Round Slings and Flat Web Lifting Slings
Both polyester and Dyneema are materials that are soft to the touch (hence soft slings) and therefore far less likely to cause any damage to goods being lifted or to cause the type of injuries to the user associated with wire rope sling, for example, cuts caused by broken wires, manual handling or impact injuries.
Synthetic soft slings are much lighter weight than both wire rope or chain slings and therefore this type of lifting sling is much easier to handle. Dyneema are even stronger than polyester and much more compact, they are lighter slings, more flexible and have excellent wear-resistant properties. Polyester slings are much cheaper than alternatives made from other materials and usually are lighter, more flexible and have a greater factor of safety, though they do have less abrasive resistance, Dyneema slings though have excellent wear resistance. and do not absorb water, therefore they are particularly suitable for use offshore. The alternative polyester sling will absorb the water and become much heavier and harder to handle. Additional methods of providing wear protection are available, such as a wear sleeve, corner protection and polyurethane (Securtex)
We prefer to sell quality UK-manufactured polyester straps, as in our opinion the quality is superior and we have access to the manufacturer, who has available both the quality file and technical file. We also offer Super Techlon straps that offer a polyester course weave outer sleeve that gives greater wear resistance than most other polyester-sleeved will. We carry stocks of 1 tonne, 2 tonne, 3 tonne, 4 tonne, 5 tonne etc... in many lengths though can make bespoke polyester strops to our customers' specific requirements in very short lead times up to 150 tonne SWL. All Dyneema strops are made to order and can be supplied up to 150-tonne safe working load.
Other Types of Lifting Slings for Sale
As well as soft slings, we are also a supplier of other types of lifting slings, such as chain slings and wire rope slings.
