What Advantages Does Textile Lifting Technology Offer?

In many areas of logistics, people rely on either metallic solutions or various plastics. But textile solutions offer various advantages:

  • Minimal dead weight – high load capacity: Textile lifting technology weighs almost nothing itself and therefore does not significantly increase your cargo weight. Nevertheless, it can carry a great deal – you can move thousands of kilograms with the help of textile lifting technology.
  • Intuitive handling: Particularly when things have to move fast, a technology should be used that anyone can operate as easily as possible. Textile lifting technology offers you many advantages here. Because it is pleasant and easy to handle.
  • No electrical conductivity: Especially in places where electrical currents flow, you should protect your cargo and personnel from electric shocks. Textile lifting technology offers no electrical conductivity and is therefore particularly safe.
  • Good adaptability to the load: Round slings in particular can be wonderfully adapted to the package. Do you often have packages of very different sizes? Then textile lifting technology can play a big advantage here.
  • Protection of the cargo: Above all, metallic lifting equipment can cause damage to the cargo. The comparatively soft surface of the textile lifting technology has the advantage that your cargo is protected.
  • Minimization of the risk of injury: The person preparing your cargo for reloading should also be protected. Metal and plastic can quickly lead to injuries as they are often sharp-edged or hard. Textile solutions do not have all these disadvantages.
  • Excellent storability: Textile lifting technology can be stored in the smallest space because it can be folded very small.
  • Color codes: Through the use of color coding, the load capacity is recognizable at first glance. This makes handling even easier.
  • Long durability: With us, you only get high-quality textile lifting technology. This allows you to use all these products over a long period of time. This definitely pays off.
  • High abrasion resistance: Even under high mechanical stress, textile lifting technology can play out all its advantages. It is extremely abrasion-resistant, which massively increases its durability and safety.

What Options Do You Have with Us?

We specialize in the topic of load securing. You have these options with textile lifting technology, also known as lifting slings:

  1. Round slings: They are the link between the package and the lifting gear itself. They are particularly popular for loading trucks. They have the advantage of a high transport capacity. Think of transport cranes, for example, which are supposed to bring your package from A to B. Round slings are capable of being active even in continuous use. Decide which length of round sling you require. The working length should be about half of the circumference length.
  2. Lifting straps: They are placed completely around the cargo and thus help during transport. They are often used for pallets. Be sure to pay attention to correct dimensions here as well. Lifting straps that are chosen too large cannot hold your package. With lifting straps chosen too small, the problem is obvious.
  3. One-way slings: One-way slings are the cost-effective alternative in lifting technology and are used above all when a reusable solution would not pay off due to the cost structure. Of course, we still do not compromise on quality here.

Round Slings for Flexible Lifting Applications

Round slings are particularly versatile textile lifting devices designed for the safe securing and lifting of heavy loads. They adapt well to different shapes and are therefore ideal for machines, components, pallets, workpieces, and bulky goods. Their soft textile surface protects the load during lifting, while their high load capacity ensures reliable safety during professional lifting operations. Round slings are a practical solution for industry, warehousing, construction, assembly, and transportation.

Lifting Straps for Controlled and Gentle Lifting

Lifting straps are used wherever loads need to be moved safely, evenly, and without damaging surfaces. The flat strap design distributes pressure more evenly across the load, thereby reducing the risk of pressure marks or damage. Lifting slings are an efficient solution, especially for delicate surfaces, painted components, crates, machinery, or heavy cargo. Depending on their load capacity and usable length, they can be flexibly adapted to various lifting tasks.

Disposable Slings for Export, Shipping, and One-Time Lifting Operations

Disposable slings are designed for applications where lifting equipment is needed only for a specific transport route or a single use. They are particularly suitable for export packaging, loading processes, ocean freight, project logistics, and the shipment of heavy goods. Thanks to their light weight, they are easy to integrate and support efficient cargo handling. Disposable lifting slings offer a cost-effective solution when loads need to be safely loaded, transported, and unloaded at their destination.

What Factors Play a Role for Lifting Technology?

In order to decide which lifting technology you want to use, you should consider the following aspects:

  • The weight: A literally supporting role in the choice of lifting technology is played by the weight of the package to be moved. Because the lifting technology must be able to move at least this weight safely, and under certain circumstances also over a longer period of time or a longer distance.
  • The usability: The lifting technology must on the one hand be able to be attached quickly and safely to your package and on the other hand also be able to be removed quickly and intuitively. Because logistics is a fast business and requires exclusively techniques that can be safely attached and removed under all conditions and that save valuable time.
  • The slip resistance: When the lifting gear has been attached to your packaged goods, it should not slip, even if the package gets slightly tilted. This is ensured on the one hand by tight lashing and on the other hand, of course, by the material itself. This should fit well against the package.
  • The weather resistance: The weather has a great influence on all our products. Because we are where the weather takes place – outside. Whether it rains, storms, snows or whether the sun beats down from the sky – all these factors affect your textile lifting technology just as heat, cold and dryness do. It is important that the material withstands the demands and your cargo can be reloaded safely.
  • The dimensions: In addition to the pure product, it is of course also about the dimensions of your packages. Because that determines which lifting technology you can use and what quantities of it you require.

Frequently Asked Questions About Textile Lifting Equipment

Below you will find important questions and answers about textile lifting equipment, webbing slings, round slings, one-way lifting slings, and their safe use when lifting, rigging, and moving loads.

What is textile lifting equipment?

Textile lifting equipment includes lifting accessories made from high-performance textile fibres that are used to lift, move, and position loads. These primarily include webbing slings, round slings, and one-way lifting slings. They are commonly used in industry, trades, warehousing, logistics, assembly work, and on construction sites.

When are textile lifting slings used?

Textile lifting slings are used when loads need to be safely lifted, repositioned, or placed onto a transport vehicle or platform. They are particularly suitable for delicate surfaces, painted components, machinery, pallets, containers, and bulky goods because they are more flexible and often gentler than chains or wire ropes.

What is the difference between a webbing sling and a round sling?

A webbing sling is a flat textile lifting sling, often with reinforced eyes at both ends. A round sling is an endless, tubular lifting sling with a load-bearing core. Webbing slings provide a wide contact surface, while round slings are particularly flexible and conform well to different load shapes.

What does WLL mean for webbing slings and round slings?

WLL stands for Working Load Limit and indicates the maximum permissible load of a lifting sling under specified conditions. It defines the load that can be safely lifted when the sling is used correctly. Sandax lists textile lifting slings with WLL ratings including 1 t, 2 t, 3 t, and 4 t.

How do I choose the right working length for a webbing sling or round sling?

The appropriate working length depends on the load dimensions, hitch configuration, crane hook, lifting point, and intended sling angle. The Sandax product filters include working lengths from 0.5 m to 6 m. The sling must be suitable for the application and must not be knotted or shortened using unapproved methods.

What does colour coding mean for textile lifting slings?

Colour coding helps users identify a sling's lifting capacity at a glance. Webbing slings and round slings are commonly colour-coded according to their WLL. Always check the product label as well, since it contains the load capacity, applicable standard, manufacturer, and other safety-critical information.

Which standards apply to textile lifting slings?

Webbing slings are generally manufactured to EN 1492-1 and round slings to EN 1492-2. The Sandax product information mentions products manufactured to EN 1492-2 and a safety factor of 7:1 for round slings. Always check the sling label for the applicable standard before use.

What does a 7:1 safety factor mean?

A 7:1 safety factor means that, under specified test conditions, the lifting sling has a minimum breaking strength substantially higher than its rated Working Load Limit. However, this does not replace proper use: the specified WLL must never be exceeded.

When are one-way lifting slings useful?

One-way lifting slings are suitable for lifting and transport operations in which the sling is intended for a defined transport journey or a single use. They are commonly used for exports, project logistics, and shipments where returning the lifting sling is not planned.

What should I check before using textile lifting slings?

Before each use, inspect webbing slings, round slings, and other lifting slings for cuts, abrasion, damaged stitching, deformation, chemical damage, heat damage, and a legible identification label. Damaged or unidentifiable lifting slings must not be used.

Can textile lifting slings be used over sharp edges?

Textile lifting slings should not be used over sharp edges without protection. Suitable edge protection is required for loads with sharp corners to prevent damage to the fibres. The lifting arrangement should be planned carefully, especially for heavy loads or loads with rough surfaces.

Can I buy textile lifting equipment directly from Sandax?

Yes, you can buy webbing slings, round slings, and one-way lifting slings directly from the Sandax online shop. For larger quantities or special requirements, you can request a custom quotation. If the lifting sling you need is not listed in the shop, Sandax can help you choose a suitable solution.
