Web Sling Repairs – Extend the life of your web slings

When it comes to lifting tasks, web slings work extremely hard and see daily use in warehouses, construction sites, manufacturing facilities and more. Over time, the webbing material will wear down from constant use, especially in their high wear areas from abrasion and the stresses of lifting heavy loads. Traditionally, when the webbing shows signs of wear, even in just one place, the entire sling would need replacement. That's where web sling re-webbing can help, particularly if the damage to your sling is only minor. Some types of damage will not be reparable.

What Is Sling Re-Webbing?

Re-webbing is exactly what it sounds like: replacing only the worn portion of a web sling while keeping the existing good webbing intact. This process ensures the sling can still be used without the need for a total replacement. Therefore it is an economical and environmentally conscious choice.

When it comes to any hard wear like hooks or eye anchors that are permanently stitched into the sling, these can be re-used during the re-webbing process, thus reducing cost.

The Web Sling Repair Process

Our re-webbing web sling repair services carefully remove the old, worn webbing from the hardware, inspect all metal components and webbing for damage or excessive wear, and then install fresh, high-strength webbing that meets or exceeds original specifications. The new webbing is properly stitched and secured to any hardware using our specialist industrial sewing machines with specific stitch patterns to ensure the correct strength is achieved and the re-webbed sling performs just as reliably as a brand-new one.

Once the webbing sling has been repaired it will be tested and re-certified to comply with current standards. Our team are skilled in the inspection, repair and testing processes so you can be assured of a great service at Rope Services Direct. Get in touch if you have any questions.
