About Lifting Slings

Lifting slings or sling lifts are material handling accessories for load attachment to lifts, cranes, and hoists. They are used in heavy manufacturing and industrial rigging to ensure the safe handling of materials and the safety of operators. Lifting slings come in a variety of materials, including metal chains, metal wire, galvanized aircraft cable, nylon, and polyester. A braided lifting sling provides redundant layers of component slings, ensuring that if one component fails, the others will provide enough lift to ensure the safety of the operator, the payload, and the lifting equipment.
