Nylon Lifting Sling – Endless – 5″ x 8′ – 3-ply

A 5 inch endless nylon sling sits between the general-purpose and heavy-duty ends of the line, sized for jobs that have outgrown a narrower sling. As an endless nylon sling, also called an endless flat nylon sling or type 5 lifting sling, it’s a continuous loop formed by joining the webbing ends with a load-bearing splice, so it can be rigged in a vertical, basket, or choker hitch and repositioned to spread out wear. In 3-ply construction, it moves into heavier-duty territory, built for substantial loads that a lighter-ply sling isn’t rated for.

Key Features

• Continuous loop construction lets you shift the contact point with each use, reducing wear compared to a fixed contact point
• Built in the USA using 9,800 lbs. per inch industrial-grade webbing for strength and safety
• Leather tag sewn into the sling records working load limits for all three common hitches
• Length is taken by laying the sling flat and measuring end to end, never around the loop
• A proof-testing certificate can be added for a fee, but only if requested when the order is placed

Applications

• Vertical, basket, or choker hitch rigging where sling capacity needs to flex with the hitch type used on the lift
• Jobs where repositioning the contact point between lifts helps an endless nylon sling last longer than a fixed-eye sling would
• Rigging that calls for a nylon endless loop sling, or endless nylon rigging strap, rather than a stiffer, less economical alternative

To measure:

Lay the nylon round sling flat and measure from one end of the sling to the other. Do not measure around the full circumference, as this will result in a finished sling that is twice the intended length.

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.
