Product Overview

The OEM Flat Polyester Webbing Sling is a flexible textile lifting sling designed for material handling, cargo lifting and industrial rigging applications.

Made from high-tenacity polyester webbing, the sling provides a lightweight and flexible alternative to traditional wire rope or chain lifting slings. Its flat construction allows the sling to conform closely to the shape of the load, helping distribute lifting forces across the contact area.

The product can be supplied in different Working Load Limits (WLL), lengths, widths, colors and eye configurations according to the lifting requirements.

For export orders, CE-related documentation, inspection and testing can be provided according to the applicable product specification and customer requirements. The exact certification status should be confirmed for the final sling configuration.

Important: The WLL of a webbing sling depends on its construction and lifting configuration, including vertical, choker or basket use. The actual WLL should always be confirmed from the product label and manufacturer's technical documentation.

Key Features

1. High-Tenacity Polyester Webbing

The sling is manufactured using high-strength polyester fibers woven into flat webbing.

Polyester webbing provides:

• High tensile strength
• Flexible handling
• Good abrasion resistance
• Low weight compared with many metal lifting products
• Suitable flexibility around different load shapes

The actual webbing width and thickness can be selected according to the required WLL.

2. Flat Webbing Construction

The flat design provides a relatively wide contact surface against the load.

This makes it suitable for handling:

• Machinery
• Steel components
• Industrial equipment
• Wooden products
• Pipes
• Containers
• Packaged cargo

For loads with sharp edges, suitable corner protectors or sleeves should be used to prevent damage to the webbing.

3. Multiple Eye Configurations

Depending on the required application, flat webbing slings can be produced with different eye configurations, such as:

• Eye & Eye
• Flat Eye
• Reverse Eye
• Twisted Eye
• Endless configuration

The eye design should be matched with the hook and lifting equipment being used.

4. Color-Coded Capacity

Polyester webbing slings can use standardized or customized colors to help operators distinguish different capacity levels.

However, color should not be used as the only method for identifying capacity.

The product label should clearly state the applicable WLL and other required information.

5. Reinforced Stitching

The eye and load-bearing areas use reinforced stitching designed to withstand repeated handling during normal lifting operations.

Stitching configuration can be adjusted according to the webbing specification and required capacity.

Technical Specifications

Working Load Limit

The Working Load Limit (WLL) is one of the most important parameters when selecting a lifting sling.

The actual WLL is affected by:

• Webbing width
• Webbing thickness
• Material
• Sling construction
• Eye configuration
• Lifting method
• Sling angle
• Hook configuration
• Complete sling assembly

A sling used in vertical lifting may have a different rated capacity from the same sling used in choker or basket configuration.

For this reason, buyers should confirm the manufacturer's WLL table rather than estimating capacity based only on webbing width or color.

Lifting Configurations

Vertical Lift

The sling is connected directly between the load and lifting hook.

This is one of the basic configurations for determining WLL.

Choker Hitch

The sling passes around the load and forms a choke.

The resulting capacity depends on the specific sling design and applicable rating.

Basket Hitch

The sling passes underneath the load and both eyes are connected to the lifting equipment.

Basket configuration can provide higher capacity in suitable applications, but the load must remain stable and the sling angle must be considered.

Product Advantages

Applications

Cargo Lifting

Used for lifting and moving packaged or individual cargo in warehouses, factories and logistics operations.

Machinery Handling

Suitable for positioning and loading industrial machinery where textile slings are appropriate.

Steel & Metal Products

Can be used for lifting steel components, fabricated parts and other metal products with appropriate edge protection.

Construction

Applicable to material handling at construction and infrastructure sites.

Warehouse Operations

Used with cranes, overhead lifting systems and other compatible lifting equipment.

Industrial Maintenance

Useful for moving equipment during installation, maintenance and replacement operations.

How to Select the Right Polyester Webbing Sling

1. Determine the Load Weight

Start with the actual weight of the cargo or component being lifted.

Never select a sling based only on the maximum advertised capacity.

2. Select the Required WLL

Choose a sling whose rated capacity is suitable for the intended lifting configuration.

The vertical, choker and basket WLL should be checked separately.

3. Select the Length

The sling length should allow sufficient connection around or under the load without excessive bending or unsuitable angles.

Common OEM lengths can be customized.

4. Select the Eye Type

Choose the eye configuration according to the crane hook, shackle or other lifting connection.

5. Consider Sharp Edges

For steel plates, fabricated machinery and other sharp-edged cargo, use suitable edge protection.

A high-capacity sling can still be damaged if it contacts an unprotected sharp edge.

Manufacturing Process

1. Polyester Fiber Preparation

High-tenacity polyester yarn is prepared according to the required webbing specification.

2. Webbing Weaving

The polyester yarn is woven into flat webbing with controlled width and thickness.

3. Webbing Inspection

The webbing is inspected for dimensional consistency and visible defects.

4. Cutting

The webbing is cut according to the specified sling length.

5. Eye Formation

The required eye configuration is formed at the sling ends.

6. Reinforced Stitching

Load-bearing sections are stitched using an appropriate industrial stitching configuration.

7. Protective Components

Protective sleeves or edge protection can be added according to customer requirements.

8. Load Testing

Finished slings can be tested according to the applicable standard and specified testing requirements.

9. Labeling

The sling is fitted with a label showing relevant information such as WLL, length, material and manufacturer/product identification.

10. Final Inspection & Packaging

Finished products are inspected before bulk packaging and shipment.

Safety Considerations

Before each lifting operation:

• Check the sling label and WLL.
• Inspect the webbing for cuts, tears and severe abrasion.
• Check the stitching for damage.
• Inspect the eyes for deformation or damage.
• Do not use a sling with serious chemical or heat damage.
• Do not knot the webbing.
• Do not twist the sling during lifting.
• Protect the sling from sharp edges.
• Avoid shock loading.
• Keep the load balanced.
• Ensure the lifting hook and connection points are compatible.
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions and applicable lifting regulations.

Do not use a cargo tie-down strap as a lifting sling. Lifting slings require an appropriate rated design and identification for lifting applications.

Flat Webbing Sling vs. Chain Sling

The correct choice depends on load weight, load geometry, lifting environment and required WLL.

• Sling length
• Webbing width
• Webbing thickness
• WLL
• Webbing color

FAQ

Q1: Is this polyester webbing sling CE certified?

CE documentation and applicable testing can be provided according to the final product specification and market requirements. The exact certification should be confirmed for the specific sling model.

Q2: What material is used?

The sling is made from high-tenacity polyester webbing.

Q3: Can I customize the sling length?

Yes. Length can be customized according to the customer's lifting equipment and cargo dimensions.

Q4: Can the webbing color be customized?

Yes. Standard capacity colors or customer-specified colors can be arranged depending on the order requirements.

Q5: What is the maximum lifting capacity?

The WLL depends on the webbing specification, construction and lifting configuration. It should be confirmed using the manufacturer's technical data rather than a generic maximum value.

Q6: Can you add our company logo?

Yes. OEM labeling, branding and customized packaging are available for suitable orders.

Q7: Can polyester webbing slings lift steel products?

Yes, when the sling's WLL and configuration are suitable. Sharp edges must be properly protected to prevent cutting or abrasion of the polyester webbing.
