Endless polyester round slings are versatile and affordable for lifting various industry applications. Made from high-strength polyester and color-coded based on capacity, these slings provide a practical solution for handling heavy loads while maintaining flexibility. Their continuous loop design allows for even load distribution, making them an efficient choice for rigging applications.

Benefits of Polyester Round Slings

• Versatile lifting solution: Used in various material handling tasks, including construction, manufacturing, and transport.
• Lightweight and flexible: Easy to handle and store compared to chain slings or wire rope slings.
• Non-damaging to loads: The soft exterior prevents damage to delicate or finished surfaces.
• Chemical resistance: Effective against most common acids, though unsuitable for sulfuric acids or alkaline exposure.
• Color-coded identification: Slings are designed according to WLL (working load limit) for quick recognition.
• Temperature range: Safe for use in temperatures up to 194°F (90°C).

Types of Polyester Round Slings

Endless Round Slings

Designed as a continuous loop, endless round slings allow wear points to be shifted with each use, extending their working life. These endless loop slings accommodate different hitches, including choker, vertical, and basket hitch, making them adaptable for different lifting configurations. They are widely used as heavy lift straps in demanding industrial applications.

These slings offer a secure connection to hooks, shackles, and other lifting hardware, making them essential in overhead lifting and crane rigging. Their versatility in material handling operations allows for repeated load handling in industrial settings.

How to Measure Polyester Round Slings

Measurement is key for selecting the right sling for the lifting or rigging activities. Length is determined from tip to tip when laid flat, not by circumference. The diameter of a round sling refers to the polyester core, not the outer fabric cover. Correct sizing contributes to safe and effective lifting operations.

Protecting Polyester Round Slings

Slings must be protected from sharp edges, abrasive surfaces, and extreme conditions to maintain performance and lifespan. ASME B30.9 (2021) 9-5.10.4(d) states that slings in contact with edges, corners, protrusions, or abrasive surfaces shall be protected with a material of sufficient strength. Â鶹ŮÀÉ Houston provides sling protection solutions, including cut-resistant options, to help meet rigging safety standards.

Custom Polyester Round Slings

If standard sizes do not meet your needs, Â鶹ŮÀÉ Houston provides custom lifting slings for specific industrial lifting applications. Our team can assist in selecting the right lifting gear to match your operational requirements.

Proof Testing & Certification

Proof-testing certificates are available upon request at the time of ordering. Each tested lifting sling undergoes a pull test at twice the vertical WLL rating. Since only select slings are tested in production, pre-requested testing ensures compliance with regulatory standards.

Choosing the Right Polyester Round Sling

When selecting a polyester lifting sling, consider the following:

• Weight of the load: Choose a sling with a working load limit (WLL) exceeding the intended load.
• Lifting height requirements: Sling length impacts lifting range.
• Application needs: Depending on lifting conditions, endless or eye & eye slings may be more suitable.

Safety Guidelines for Polyester Round Slings

To promote safe lifting practices, always:

• Inspect slings before use for cuts, fraying, or damage.
• Avoid exceeding the working load limit.
• Prevent twisting or knotting of the sling.
• Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight.
