CWR Hawaii offers synthetic slings in a wide variety of types and styles. See general information on synthetic slings rating capacity in terms of pounds based upon new, unused synthetic slings.
If your specific synthetic slings needs or requirements are not shown, please consult CWR Hawaii sales or technical department for information and recommendations.
Round Slings
Round slings secure heavy loads and keep them balanced and supported while moving. Round slings have jackets that encase their sling bodies to increase protection and durability. Also known as lifting round slings, they have endless loop constructions without seams or joints that allow them to conform to irregularly shaped loads and alternate where loads attach to help distribute wear and tear on lifting points. They connect with lifting and rigging hardware like hooks, hoist rings, links, and shackles. Round slings have labels with information regarding their rated capacities set by their manufacturer that should be carefully reviewed before use. The rated capacity of a sling should always exceed the weight of the load.
Polyester Tuff Edge Slings
These protected-edge twisted-eye web slings are made of polyester. Web slings with protected edges have increased durability and resistance to abrasions and cuts compared to standard slings. Their colored, protected edges help withstand damage and extend the life of the sling. The colored edges also serve to identify when the sling is no longer safe to use. Polyester web slings have limited stretch under load to minimize bounce and help maintain control when lifting. These polyester slings are resistant to acids and bleach and have soft, flexible surfaces that won’t scratch or mar sensitive loads.
Endless Web Slings
Endless web slings distribute loads evenly to keep them balanced and supported. Also known as endless loop slings, they have no seams or joints, allowing them to conform to irregularly shaped loads and alternate where loads attach to help distribute wear on their lifting surfaces and extend their lifespan. They create secure choker hitches around loads but can also be set up as vertical or basket hitches. Endless web slings connect with lifting and rigging hardware like hooks, hoist rings, links, and shackles. Web slings have labels with information regarding their rated capacities set by their manufacturer that should be carefully reviewed before use. The rated capacity of a sling should always exceed the weight of the load.
Twin-Path Slings
Twin-Path Slings are heavy lift high performance slings, sometimes referred to as Kevlar slings or TPXC, have been used for decades to replace heavy wire rope and chain slings. At approximately 10% the weight of a comparable strength steel sling, Twin-Path slings help to reduce the risk of injury to riggers, and reduces transportation and rigging costs. The incredible strength to weight ratio is achieved with K-Spec high-performance fiber core yarns utilizing world class fiber combinations of Spectra, Dynemma, Technora or Twaron . This fiber determined by independent testing to be the longest lasting load-bearing core yarns available. Increased durability is achieved with Covermax patented cover technology external jackets, with four times more abrasion resistance than standard nylon or polyester covers, combined with a red internal cover to aid inspection and alert users of cover damage.
