Slings, Lifting, Web, Flat, Polyester, Belt slings with reinforced eyes – Lifting Safety

Polyester is a synthetic (man made) material that is extremely light weight and when made into lifting slings makes a very cost effective lifting sling. The material is soft to touch (hence soft slings) and therefore is less likely to cause damage to the goods when they are lifted and will not 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 polyester (fibre material) slings are much lighter weight than both wire rope or chain slings and therefore this type of lifting sling is much easier to handle.

Polyester slings are much cheaper than alternative slings made from other materials and usually are lighter, more flexible and have a greater factor of safety, though they do have less abrasive resistance. This can be overcome by using a wear sleeve made from either polyester or from polyurethane. The polyurethane can either be wrapped round the sling or bonded onto the surface of the sling, some people refer to this as Secutex. Further protection can be offered by using steel end fittings (Joker hooks or Grade 80 master rings and hooks)

A flat web sling is also often referred to as a variety of names such as lifting strap/strop, belt sling, polyester lifting sling, flat sling, flat webb lifting sling and a belt webbing sling, woven slings, webbing slings to mention just a few. Some time wrongly referred to as nylon lifting slings. Soft slings like this are either made as Duplex / Simplex flat web sling or as endless round slings, both are made from the same core materials.
