What are the Differences between Round, Eyed and Disposable Slings?

An round sling is a type of sling that is formed by the combination of thousands of fibres and is wrapped with a polyester cloth. These types of slings are among the most preferred and used products in transport and lifting systems for being economical and widespread. The flat webbing sling is a type of sling made by sewing layers of polyester fabrics, which have high working safety and are easy to use. It is used if a large surface is needed in load-lifting operations and the resulting pressure needs to be distributed over a wide surface. Flat webbing lifting slings are suitable for lifting delicate materials as they are smooth. A disposable sling is a type of sling that is mostly produced for short-term use. It is a product with low stocking and purchasing costs.

Safe working load limits for round slings are produced per the standards. This type of sling has the same characteristics in this regard as other types of slings. It is produced with a safety factor of 7:1 and 6:1. It is a flexible and lightweight material used for lifting loads. Round slings do not lose any of their durability even when wet. This type of sling is produced according to TS EN 1492-2 standards. These slings are produced from high-strength polyester fibres, consisting of endless threads covered with a protective sheath. Its standard polyurethane coating and its outer protective sheath are highly resistant to abrasion and damage due to friction. Round slings are extremely flexible. They are also resistant to UV rays. The working load limit of round slings is between 1 ton and 200 tons. It can be produced in the desired length and design upon request.

Flat webbing slings are known as polyester slings. The safe working load limits of eyed slings express their working capacity under the standards. Webbing slings are produced with a safety factor of 7:1 and 6:1. This coefficient means that the minimum force required for the breaking level of the sling is seven times greater than the safe working load. The sling type produced from high polyester is produced by TS EN 1492-1 norm. The working load limit can be increased from 0.5 tons to 50 tons. Tape thickness can be produced from 25 mm to 1200 mm. It can be produced in different sizes and dimensions with various designs upon request. Polyester slings are also available in multiple-eyed and single-eyed sling options.

The safe working load limits of such slings express their capacities following the standards. Safe working loads of disposable slings vary according to the number of slings used and the way they are lifted. Safety factor such as 4:1, 5:1, 6:1 and 7:1 for disposable slings can be determined optionally. The bands of the disposable sling are made of synthetic material and are produced per the TS EN 1492-1 norm. In addition, disposable slings have eyed and endless disposable sling options.For more detailed information about the products, you can contact Halatsan’s sales team.
