Nylon Lifting Sling – Straight Eye & Eye – 4″ x 18′ – 1-ply

At a common general-purpose width, this straight eye nylon lifting sling, also called a type 3 nylon web sling, uses a flat eye and eye nylon sling design at each end that works in a basket hitch, choker hitch, or vertical hitch. In this width, its single-ply construction keeps it light and economical. Select lengths are also available as a reinforced flat eye web sling, with wear pads sewn into each eye for extra abrasion resistance.

Key Features

• Flat eye at each end, versatile enough for basket, choker, or vertical hitch use
• Reinforced eye nylon sling option available in select lengths, with wear pads sewn into each eye for a straight eye sling reinforced ends build
• Sling is built in the USA using 9,800 lbs. per inch industrial-grade webbing to industry standards
• a leather tag sewn into the strap records the working load limit for every hitch it’s rated for
• Length is taken from the load-bearing point at one eye to the load-bearing point at the other
• A proof-testing certificate can be added for a fee, but only if requested when the order is placed

Applications

• General rigging jobs that need to switch between basket, choker, and vertical hitches without changing slings
• Everyday lifts where a flat eye and eye nylon sling connects easily to standard rigging hardware
• Jobs with repeated hook contact at the eyes, where stepping up to the reinforced flat eye web sling length adds abrasion resistance

Determining Sling Length

Sling length is measured from the load-bearing point of one eye to the load-bearing point of the opposite eye, providing the effective working length of the sling.

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.
