About Polyester Round lifting slings 2t
Polyester round lifting slings 2t had their origins in the Scandinavian countries and began making their way to the Western Hemisphere in the mid-seventies. There is a unique advantage endless polyester round slings have over eye and eye configuration slings. The endless configuration is more versatile because the connection and load contact points can be rotated, enhancing sling service life. Another key advantage for polyester round lifting slings is that many slings can be made simultaneously.
Due to the manufacturing efficiencies, polyester round slings will generally be less expensive than nylon rigging straps. Because the body of polyester round slings is comprised of multiple windings of polyester yarn, the sling body is soft and supple. The supple body prevents the polyester round sling from locking to the load or binding at the point of choke when polyester round slings are used in a choker hitch. Polyester round slings are color coded, but never rely upon color to determine round sling strength.
