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

A 3 inch endless nylon sling is one of the most common widths in general shop rigging, wide enough for real capacity without being unwieldy. 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
• Manufactured in the USA from heavy-duty industrial webbing rated at 9,800 lbs. per inch
• Working load limits for vertical, basket, and choker use are recorded on a sewn-in leather tag
• To measure, lay the sling flat and measure end to end; measuring the circumference doubles the true size
• Proof-testing certificates are available for an added fee, requested at time of order rather than after

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.
