> TRANS-WEB > Polyester Round Slings

Roundslings are manufactured to BS 6668 Part 2: 1987. Roundslings conform to "The supply of machinery (Safety) regulations" 1992, (S1 1992/3073) and have a safety factor of 7:1. Capacities are colour coded to indicate the working load limit.

Roundslings are manufactured from high tenacity 100% Polyester fibre. The load bearing fibres are wound together to form an endless hank. The working load limit is determined by the number of turns in the hank.

The hank is then protected by a Polyester, non load bearing, seamless cover. This protects and consolidates the load bearing fibres and internal damage to these fibres is virtually impossible without first damaging the outer cover.

All slings are individually labelled stating sling number, material , length, date of manufacture and other relevant safety information.
