What are round slings?

Round slings are textile lifting aids used in a variety of applications, from construction sites or warehouses to industrial production facilities. They are particularly known for their flexibility and adaptability. Round slings are also known as "slings" and are available in various lengths and load capacities. They are certified to EN 1492-2 and offer a safety factor of 7:1, making them a reliable and safe option for many lifting tasks. There are also disposable slings or single-use slings. These are often connected to a product after it has been manufactured and are later disposed of when the product is at its destination (e.g. heavy pipes or concrete parts).

Materials and types of round slings

The most commonly used materials for round slings are polyester and high performance polyester. Polyester round slings are known for their high tensile strength and resistance to abrasion and UV radiation. They come in a variety of constructions, including single-layer and multi-layer variants. Single-layer round slings are often lighter and more flexible, while multi-layer models offer additional strength and durability. Both types have their own advantages and disadvantages, depending on the specific application.

Load capacities and specifications of our round slings

The load capacity of round slings varies depending on the model and material. Our selection ranges from lighter models such as the round slings up to 5 tonnes to heavier variants such as the round slings 10 tonnes. It is important to know the specific requirements of your project in order to make the right choice. The load capacity is often indicated on the round sling label so that you can quickly find the information you need. We will of course also be happy to advise you.

Colour coding and labels

Colour coding is a key aspect in quickly identifying the load capacity of the round slings. The round sling colours vary depending on the load capacity and are usually noted on the round sling label. This makes selection easier and minimises the risk of errors during operation. Below you will find an overview of which round sling colour is used for which load capacity:

Safety aspects of round slings

Safety is of the utmost importance when using round slings. It is therefore essential to know the round sling regulations and test procedures. Regular round sling testing is necessary to ensure the integrity of the material and minimise potential risks. The load capacity indicates how much load the round sling can safely carry. The safety factor indicates how many times the sling can bear before it breaks.
