Material

Nylon is the most widely used general-purpose synthetic web sling. Nylon is unaffected by grease and oil, and the material has excellent chemical resistance to aldehydes, ethers, and strong alkalies. However, nylon slings are not suitable for use with acids and bleaching agents or at temperatures in excess of 194° F (90° C). The stretch of a nylon sling at rated capacity is approximately 8-10%.

Type

Type 3, also known as eye & eye flat slings, are very popular slings that are stocked in multiple capacities. eye & eye slings are very adaptable and are a good choice in many lifting situations. The flat eye is usually easier to remove or insert into limited spaces. Basket capacities from 3,200 to 128,000 pounds, web widths from 1-12 inches and 1-4 plies are available.

Synthetic Web Slings are the most common lifting slings in use today. They offer good strength and value characteristics for loads up to 64,000 lbs. vertical capacity.
