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.

About Polyester Slings for Lifting

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) or the use of corner protectors, speak to a member of our sales team about this, we will be more than pleased to assist.

We prefer to sell quality UK manufactured polyester lifting slings as in our opinion they are better quality and from a manufacturing source that we can turn to for a complete quality file and technical service. We carry stocks of 1 tonne, 2 tonne, 3 tonne, 4 tonne, 5 tonne etc... in many stock lengths though can make bespoke polyester lifting slings to our customers specific requirements in very short lead time up to 100 tonne SWL.

£££ Worth noting....

The lifting sling market is saturated and we are aware that there are other slings available to buy cheaper, but beware these can be lesser quality. Our slings are top quality, UK manufactured and suitable for industrial purposes where quality and safety is paramount.

Tests have been carried out on 'cheaper' slings and have failed / ripped at a lower loading than the 7:1 factor of safety that the slings MUST be manufactured to (in line with the British Standard 'BS EN 1492-1').

As with most things in life, you get what you pay for, just something to bear in mind when trying to save a few £££.
