Nylon Lifting Sling – Continuous Eye Wide – 8″ x 4′ – 2-ply

Stepping up in the wide-body line, this Type 8 continuous eye wide sling, also called a wide continuous eye sling or continuous eye nylon sling, offers some of the highest working load limits available in a nylon web sling, plus a wide body for extra load stability and protection for fragile surfaces. At this width, 2-ply construction steps up the capacity available at this width.

Key Features

• Constructed by joining the long edges of an endless sling, so the eyes are a continuous part of the sling rather than an attachment, for extra strength
• Tapered loops accommodate crane and hoist hooks easily
• Basket hitch use only; also called a continuous lifting strap or continuous nylon sling
• Sling is manufactured in the USA from heavy-duty industrial webbing rated at 9,800 lbs. per inch
• working load limits for each hitch type are recorded on a sewn-in leather tag
• Width is measured across the short side of the sling, not eye to eye
• To measure, go from the load-bearing point of one eye straight to the load-bearing point of the other, including the eyes

Applications

• Basket-hitch lifts needing some of the highest working load limits available in a nylon web sling
• Wide, unstable, or fragile loads that benefit from a wide continuous eye sling’s extra body width
• Jobs where a continuous, joined-edge eye construction is worth the added strength over an attached-eye design

Please note:

For Type 8 continuous eye wide slings, the listed width refers to the width of the sling body across the short side, not the distance from eye to eye. Sling length is measured with the sling laid flat, from one end to the other, including both eyes.

Sling Proof Testing Certificates

Proof testing certificates are available for a nominal fee and must be requested at the time of your order. For certified proof testing, each sling is individually tested at the factory to twice its rated vertical rating, and the results are formally documented for compliance purposes. Under normal production procedures, only select slings are tested as part of routine quality checks. Because of this, every sling requiring a proof test certificate must be tested individually during manufacturing.
