Do you need to lift loads up to 3 tonnes whilst minimising the risk of marking or damaging the load? Try our 3000 kg round sling, just one from our range of lifting slings here at Rope Services Direct . Yellow in colour and 28mm wide, we can provide these 3 tonne round slings in numerous lengths up to 6 metres (12 metre circumference). Find out more below.
All our round lifting slings adhere to the necessary safety regulations (BSI/CE, etc.).
Ideal for choke-lifting cylindrical shaped items especially, they also offer great protection to a more delicate load due to the outer soft polyester tubing which are not load bearing; it is the twisted polyester yarn hank within which bears the load whilst also providing a little cushioning. Whilst lifting chains and wire rope slings could mark or damage the load due to their hard nature, it is unlikely a round sling will thanks to its softer properties; they are easier and nicer to handle too!
When you identify the yellow round sling you will know its rated load for a straight, in-line lift is 3 tonne or 3000kg. On an important note, however, this SWL can change, depending on how the sling is used; for example if used in a choke hitch the WLL will reduce down to 2.4 tonne, but double up to 6 tonne in a straight sided basket hitch. Find out all the safe WLL for the popular hitch types in the specifications.
It’s always worth remembering to take weight load limits seriously when using round slings. If in doubt don’t try to lift the load.
