LIFTING SLING TYPES

Lifting Sling Types (Steel Wire Rope, Chain, Polyester)

Lifting slings used in industrial lifting operations are essential equipment designed to securely grip loads and enable controlled handling. Used together with cranes, hoists, and similar lifting systems, these products play a critical role in occupational safety and operational efficiency.

​

Depending on the application and type of load, slings are manufactured from different materials such as steel wire rope, chain, and polyester. Each type offers specific advantages suitable for different working conditions.

 

Types of Slings and Their Features

​

Steel Wire Rope Slings

These are traditional lifting solutions widely preferred in industry due to their durable structure and long service life.
Available in single-leg, double-leg, three-leg, or four-leg configurations.

​

Chain Slings

Robust lifting equipment designed for heavy loads and harsh working conditions, offering high strength and reliability.
Available in 1-leg, 2-leg, 3-leg, or 4-leg configurations.

Polyester Slings

Thanks to their lightweight and flexible structure, they provide safe lifting without damaging sensitive surfaces.
Available as single-use, double-layer, eye & eye, or endless types.

 

Production and Configuration Options

Sling systems can be custom-designed as single-leg, double-leg, or multi-leg (multi-bridles) configurations based on project requirements.
They can be supplied as complete systems with hooks, master links, or various end fittings depending on the application.

While polyester slings are typically available in standard capacity ranges, steel wire rope and chain slings are generally manufactured according to customer-specific dimensions and configurations.

All products are supplied with identification labels and technical information.
