Nylon Armor Jacket Slings

Eye and Eye slings can be used in choker, vertical and basket hitches. Slings with Half Twist (Type 4) eyes are furnished unless Flat (Type 3) eyes are specified. Sling eyes will be wrapped at the bearing point unless otherwise specified. Eye & Eye nylon & polyester lifting slings featuring flat eyes can be used in all three hitches: choker, vertical and basket. Heavy duty nylon rigging slings featuring the Flat Eye and Eye design are made in widths ranging from as narrow as 1 inch and as wide as 12 inches. All Lift-It® Flat Eye & Eye slings feature protection at the sling eye bearing points. The extra protection wrapped around the sling eye provides additional service life as this is a critical wear area for all polyester and nylon rigging slings. Sling eyes are automatically tapered to a narrower width on Eye and Eye lifting slings that are over 3 inches in width. At Lift-It we do not charge extra to taper the eyes for your 2 inch wide rigging straps. Flat Eye, Eye and Eye nylon lifting slings used by crane and rigging customers around the world provide for the lowest profile eye available. Low profile eyes make sling removal easier when tight clearances are unavoidable. Nylon rigging slings that feature flat eyes are also referred to as double eye slings or Type 3 slings. If a more supple body composition is desired consider using Lift-It® polyester roundslings in the eye and eye style. Eye & Eye polyester round slings are formed by passing an exterior sleeve over the strands of the polyester roundsling. If a 200% load test is required on your slings please contact our sales team prior to ordering, 909-469-2251.

One of the most versatile nylon web slings available, Endless slings can be rotated to provide an infinite number of contact points for the ends of the endless lifting strap and where the endless sling lift strap contacts the load. Endless hoisting slings and straps are for use in choker, vertical and basket hitches. Endless sling strap ends can be tapered and reinforced on request. Endless polyester and nylon sling straps are also referred to as continuous loop slings, type 5 slings and/or grommet slings. Lift-It® Endless slings are available in either nylon or polyester webbing, polyester is the standard material on all models. The length of an endless web sling is measured pull to pull or bearing to bearing on the ends of the endless nylon lift strap, not circumferentially. Polyester web and Nylon web endless slings are formed by overlapping the ends of the heavy duty webbing to form a load carrying splice. It is recommended when using endless sling straps that the load carrying splice NOT be placed into the load or lift connection points. Likewise, when Endless slings are used in a choker hitch it is recommended that the load carrying splice be placed above the choker point and below the lifting fixture. If an endless sling configuration is desired that does not feature a load carrying splice, we’d recommend the use of a polyester roundsling. Polyester round slings are also sometimes referred to as spansets. If a 200% load test is required on your slings please contact our sales team prior to ordering, 909-469-2251.
