Webbing Lifting Sling without Sleeve

A flat woven webbing lifting sling, supplied without a sleeve over the body. The supplier lists four sizes by tonnage, 3, 4, 5 and 6 tonne, and gives the 6 tonne as 5 metres long and 150 millimetres wide. Webbing is light to carry, easy to store on a rack and lies flat against the load, which is why crews often reach for it ahead of chain.

Slings like these do the everyday lifting round a yard or a site: setting steel sections, moving a generator or a transformer, craning plant onto a lorry, shifting machinery across a fabrication shop. Crane hire firms, plant operators, fabricators, sawmills and workshops are the usual buyers.

Order by the tonnage the supplier lists and by the length your hitch needs; the 6 tonne is packed 6 pieces to a carton. With no sleeve, the body of the sling meets any sharp edge directly, so pack the corners of the load. The supplier does not publish a standard or a test certificate for these, so confirm the rating and paperwork your lifting plan and your insurer require before you order.
