With a 12 tonne working load limit the 12000kg round sling can handle really heavy loads in a variety of hitch types providing some useful versatility.
Manufactured from 100% high strength polyester materials. The polyester yarn hank core is carefully covered by a seamless, close-woven, heavy duty polyester tubular sleeve. The dual-layer protects the load-bearing core but also provides excellent resistance to abrasion and wear during regular use. The seamless construction eliminates weak points that could compromise safety, and rough seams which could damage delicate surfaces of a load.
When it comes to the safety factor, the minimum breaking load is an impressive seven times the Working Load Limit (WLL), providing a substantial safety margin that protects workers and loads alike.
The 12000kg round sling offers great flexibility in how it can be utilized. Straight, choke, and basket hitches can all be used, though operators should note that some alterations to the WLL may be needed depending on the hitch configuration chosen. You can find the relevant details in the specifications above. The adaptability of the the sling makes it suitable for different load shapes and lifting scenarios, from simple vertical lifts, choking a cylindrical object or more complex angular applications.
These round slings conform to BS EN 1492-2 standards. This ensures the product meets rigorous European safety requirements for textile slings. Certificates are readily available, including 2.1 and Declaration of Conformity documentation, giving you complete traceability and compliance assurance.
A round sling may not be the best option for your lifting task so it may be a good idea to compare with other sling types to find a better match. Rope Services Direct can supply wire rope slings, flat webbing slings, chain slings, fibre rope slings, endless slings, one-way slings and more. We also have our own workshop where custom slings can be made to your specifications.
