About Sling Configurations and Capacity
More
Web Slings with Hooks
Securely hook these slings to a load that has lift attachments. Lightweight and flexible, web slings are less likely than other slings to mar, scratch, or dent fragile loads. They include a tag that shows the material, length, and capacities in each configuration. Made of nylon, these slings stretch to minimize shock to the load and withstand greasy conditions.
Note: Do not use multi-leg slings at an angle less than 30°.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Wire Rope Slings
Reinforced
Thimble Eye
These slings are more abrasion and cut resistant than web and round slings, yet lighter in weight than mesh and chain slings. They include a tag that shows capacities in each configuration.
Crimped eye slings are secured with a metal sleeve.
Crimped and reinforced thimble eye slings have a thimble on the inside of the loops to prevent fraying. Loops are secured with a metal sleeve.
Woven eye slings have ends that are woven back into the sling, reducing the chance of the sling catching when lifting a load.
6 × 19 construction is more flexible than 7 × 7.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
