The durable polyester fibers resist wear while maintaining dependable lifting performance over time. Routine inspections remain simple due to the sling’s visible web surface construction. Users can quickly identify signs of wear or damage during safety inspections.
Choosing the Right Hitch
Vertical Hitch
A sling can be used in a vertical hitch by attaching one eye to the load and the opposite end to the lifting mechanism. This is the simplest hitch and will use the full lifting capacity of the sling.
Choker Hitch
A sling can be used in a choker hitch by wrapping the sling around the load and attaching it to the lifting mechanism. This hitch reduces lifting capacity due to stress at the choke point.
Basket Hitch
A sling can be used in a basket hitch by passing it under the load and attaching both eyes to the lifting mechanism. This hitch has twice the lifting capacity of a single vertical hitch.
