The Polyester Round Sling (EN 1492-2) is a highly versatile, endless textile lifting sling designed to safely and securely handle heavy loads while protecting delicate surfaces during overhead lifting.
Constructed from an endless loop of 100% high-tenacity polyester (PES) load-bearing yarns, fully protected by a durable, non-load-bearing tubular woven cover.
Manufactured to strict EN 1492-2 standards with a 7:1 Safety Factor, ensuring the minimum breaking load is at least seven times the Working Load Limit (WLL).
Engineered to maintain safe, reliable lifting performance across a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +100°C.
Offers excellent resistance to most mineral acids, making it suitable for various industrial environments (note: must avoid concentrated acids and strong alkalis).
EN 1492-2 CompliantCE Certified100% High-Tenacity PESContinuous Loop Design
Engineered for professional heavy lifting, our endless round slings consist of a continuous loop of load-bearing polyester yarn encased in a robust tubular sleeve. This structure enables the yarn fibers to spread out securely over the load surface, cushioning the cargo against damage and preventing slip. Exceptionally lightweight and highly flexible.

H-Lift Round Slings, manufactured to EN 1492-2, provide a versatile, lightweight, and cost-effective solution for heavy lifting. This guide outlines the essential safety practices, product features, and maintenance requirements to ensure safe operations.
Why Choose H-Lift Round Slings?
🛡️ Soft & Non-Damaging
The soft polyester sleeve cushions the load, making round slings ideal for lifting fragile, polished, or easily marred surfaces where chain or wire rope might cause damage.
⚖️ High Strength-to-Weight
Made from high-tenacity polyester (PES) yarn continuously wound in an endless loop. They offer immense lifting capacity while being extremely lightweight and easy to handle.
🎨 Color Coded Safety
Fully compliant with EN 1492-2 international standards. Each sling is color-coded by tonnage (e.g., Violet=1T, Green=2T) with capacity stripes for instant identification.
🔄 Infinite Flexibility
The endless loop construction allows for rotation of load-bearing points, extending the sling's service life by avoiding constant wear on a single spot.
Operational Safety Guidelines
Safety is paramount in lifting operations. Failure to follow these guidelines can result in sling failure, load damage, or injury.
ALWAYS:
Inspect the sling before every use for cuts, holes in the cover, or chemical damage.
Check the label to ensure the Working Load Limit (WLL) is sufficient for the load.
Protect from sharp edges. Use protective sleeves or corner pads if the load has sharp radii or rough edges.
Consider the mode factor. The lifting capacity changes depending on the hitch method (Straight, Choked, or Basket).
Plan the lift. Ensure the load is free to move and the landing area is prepared.
Store correctly. Keep slings in a dry, clean area away from direct sunlight (UV radiation) and heat sources.
NEVER:
Never tie knots in a round sling to shorten it. Knots significantly reduce the breaking strength.
Never overload. Do not exceed the WLL indicated on the label.
Never drag the load while it is resting on the sling, or drag the sling across rough floors.
Never use damaged slings. If the outer cover is cut and the inner core yarns are exposed, withdraw it from service immediately.
Never shock load. Lift slowly and steadily to avoid dynamic forces that can snap the sling.
Avoid chemical exposure without consulting the supplier (Polyester is resistant to acids but damaged by strong alkalis).
Inspection & Criteria for Removal
Regular inspection is critical. A round sling must be removed from service immediately if any of the following are detected:
Missing or illegible label: If you cannot identify the WLL, do not use it.
Damaged Sleeve: Cuts, holes, or heavy abrasion on the outer cover that exposes the inner load-bearing core yarns.
Heat or Chemical Damage: Hardening, melting, softening, or discoloration of the fibers.
Knots: Any knots found in the sling body.
Note: Minor chafing on the outer cover surface is normal, but deep abrasion requires assessment by a competent person.
