Product Overview

What The Polyester Flat Webbing Sling Is

The flat webbing sling is the workhorse of soft slinging. A flat woven polyester band with a sewn eye at each end spreads the load over a wide contact area, so it lifts painted, machined and coated surfaces without the marking that a chain or wire rope sling leaves behind.

Carl Stahl China supplies flat webbing slings in AA class high tensile polyester, single or double ply, with reinforced lifting eyes and a sewn label carrying the working load limit, the standard and the batch data. Effective working length, colour, ply and safety factor are all built to the order.

Key Benefits

Why Buyers Choose This Product

Protects The Load Surface

The wide flat band spreads contact pressure, so finished, painted and polished surfaces arrive without pressure marks or scoring.

Light Enough To Rig By Hand

A polyester sling weighs a fraction of the chain or wire rope sling of the same capacity, so riggers can position it without a second lift.

Instantly Readable Capacity

The EN colour code tells the operator the working load limit before they read the label, which removes the most common cause of overload.

Low Elongation Under Load

Elongation stays below 7 percent at working load, so the load lifts predictably instead of stretching and settling.

Application Scenarios

Where It Is Used And Who It Is For

Application Scenarios

  • Machine tool and press installation where a machined surface must not be marked
  • Loading and unloading of steel structures, tanks and vessels
  • Precast concrete and stone handling on site
  • Shipyard and offshore module handling
  • General workshop and warehouse lifting up to 10 t

Who It Is For

  • Lifting equipment distributors who resell to industry under their own brand
  • Rigging houses assembling sling sets for construction and plant hire
  • Machine builders shipping equipment with matched lifting gear
  • Safety and PPE wholesalers supplying European markets
Problems It Solves

The Sourcing Problems This Product Removes

Chain slings leave marks on finished workpieces

Solution. A flat polyester band spreads contact pressure over its full width and does not bite into paint, plating or machined faces.

Riggers cannot tell one sling from another on site

Solution. The EN colour code makes the working load limit visible at a distance, so the wrong sling is not picked up by mistake.

Imported slings arrive without usable paperwork

Solution. Every sling ships individually bagged with a CE declaration of conformity, and material and test certificates are available on request at order time.

Sling lengths never match the lift

Solution. Effective working length is made to the order rather than sold in fixed steps, so the sling suits the actual geometry of the lift.

How To Use The Polyester Flat Webbing Sling Safely

  1. Read the label and confirm the working load limit before every lift, and confirm it again against the colour code.
  2. Reduce the capacity for the lifting method and the angle of inclination using the mode factors in the table above.
  3. Never lift over a sharp edge without a protective sleeve or edge protector.
  4. Withdraw any sling with a cut, a chemical burn, a damaged eye or an unreadable label.
  5. Keep personnel clear of the load and out of the line of the sling while the slack is taken up.
  6. Store the sling clean, dry and out of direct sunlight when it is not in use.
FAQ

Polyester Flat Webbing Sling FAQ

What does the safety factor mean on a webbing sling?
It is the ratio between the minimum breaking force of the sling and its working load limit. A 7:1 sling breaks at seven times its marked working load limit. We build to 5:1, 6:1, 7:1 or 8:1 according to the market you sell into.
Can you weave our own brand into the webbing?
Yes. OEM brand marking on the webbing and a customer specific label layout are both standard options, and the label content can be modified to local standards where required.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Order quantity depends on width and capacity. Send the sizes and quantities you need to [email protected] and we will confirm the minimum for that combination.
How long does production take?
Normally 30 to 45 days depending on the order quantity and the season.
Is a certificate supplied with the slings?
Every sling is packed in a plastic bag with a CE declaration of conformity. Material and test certificates can be issued when they are requested at the time of order.
