Types of Textile Slings
Discover the most popular types of textile slings, their properties, and applications. Learn when to choose webbing slings and when round slings are the better option to ensure safe and efficient load lifting.
There Are Different Types of Textile Slings
Textile slings are a versatile lifting solution used in a wide range of lifting operations. Depending on the working conditions and the type of load being handled, slings can be manufactured from different materials to provide specific performance characteristics.
The most common types of textile slings are webbing slings and round slings. For applications involving high temperatures, slings made from high-performance aramid fibres are often used. When lifting loads exposed to mechanical damage, slings fitted with HMPE protective sleeves or Cordura® covers offer increased resistance to abrasion and cutting. Slings with a core made from HMPE Dyneema® fibres provide exceptionally high strength while maintaining a very low self-weight.

Textile slings, including webbing slings and round slings, offer excellent flexibility, safety, and protection for the lifted load. Before making a selection, it is important to evaluate the available sling types and their characteristics to ensure the most suitable solution for the specific lifting application.
