Round Slings
Round slings, or round webbing slings are the most common type of synthetic fiber slings. As the name suggests, unlike flat webbing slings, they have a circular appearance and form a closed loop. Therefore, sometimes they are called as endless slings. Endless slings are more flexible than flat webbing slings, and their circular structure allows the contact points with the lifted object to change with each use, thereby extending the lifespan. The construction of a round sling is consisted of outside “tube” (sleeve) and inside “core” (internal yarns). The outer tube is woven by two layer webbings, and the inner core is made up of large numbers of strands of double twisted plied yarns which mainly bearing weight. The sleeve is so constructed that it protects the internal rows of yarn filament and keeps them in a parallel formation at all times. The soft pliable body of a round sling allows it to hug uneven and odd-shaped loads. Round slings are suitable for lifting larger in volume and heavier loads, and their load capacity can be much higher. The specifications range from 1 Ton, 2 Tons, 3 Tons, 5 Tons, 10 Tons, 15 Tons, 20 Tons, to 50 Tons, 80 Tons, 100 Tons, 200 Tons, and so on.
