How to Choose the Webbing Material for Lifting Slings

      The first step to choose an appropriate web sling is to determine what material you need the sling to be made of.  There are several different lifting slings to choose from including nylon sings, polyester round slings, wire rope slings, and chain slings. 

      By looking at the properties of a lifting sling, it will help you determine what kind of sling to purchase.  Nylon slings are strong and relatively inexpensive which makes them a very popular choice.  Polyester slings don't stretch as much when tension is applied and also have different tolerances to certain chemicals.  They are also very flexible which prevents them from locking up on a load. 

      Wire rope slings offer high strength and flexibility at a smaller diameter than polyester.  Wire rope slings tend to be a little higher priced than nylon or polyester but are pivotal parts of the sling industry.  Last but not least, chain slings are the heavy duty slings of the bunch.  Chain slings are extremely flexible and offer superior strength for any situation.  Chain slings can be more expensive than the other slings but their strength is second to none.
