Round slings are continuous loops of strong polyester yarn protected by an outer sleeve. Their soft construction allows even load distribution and minimises pressure on delicate or polished surfaces where steel chains or wire ropes could cause damage.

Choosing the right round sling depends on your load’s weight, shape, and lifting method. Always check the Working Load Limit (WLL) and ensure the sling’s length and configuration suit the task. Selecting a properly rated, certified sling not only ensures safety but also helps avoid unnecessary wear or damage to your lifting gear. When buying round slings here at Lifting 365, you can expect top quality, certified slings for any lifting task.

Round slings should be withdrawn from service if the protective sleeve is torn, stitching is frayed, or the inner fibres are exposed. Signs of chemical damage, burns, or permanent deformation also indicate the sling is unsafe. Regular inspection before and after use, combined with formal periodic checks, ensures compliance with UK lifting regulations and prevents accidents. Keeping records of inspections helps maintain a safe lifting operation.

Round slings are generally resistant to water and UV light, but extreme heat, cold, or chemical exposure can weaken the fibres. To maintain safety, avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods, corrosive chemicals, or very high temperatures. For added protection, use covers or sleeves and inspect the sling more frequently if operating in demanding environments. Proper care ensures the sling maintains its rated strength and longevity.
