<p>Endless nylon slings are some of the most versatile of all lifting slings because they can be used in the three common hitches: vertical, basket or choker. Also called endless flat nylon slings or type 5 lifting slings, these continuous loop slings are formed by joining the ends of the webbing together with a load bearing splice. Nylon endless slings are an economical choice because the design allows the user to move the contact area with each use which decreases wear and tear on the sling. The endless nylon sling capacity will vary with the number of plys (from 1 through 4), and with the type of hitch used in the lift. All of our nylon lifting slings are made in the USA from a high quality, heavy duty 9,800 lbs. per inch industrial grade webbing material for maximum strength and safety. Every endless nylon sling has a leather tag sewn in that contains the working load limits for vertical, basket and choker hitches. For an endless lifting sling in a less stretchy material, see our selection of polyester round slings.<strong> To measure: </strong>Nylon round sling measurements are determined by laying the sling flat and measuring from one end of the webbing sling to the other. Do not measure the circumference of the sling, as this will give you a finished sling twice the intended size.<strong>Sling Proof Testing Certificates</strong><em>Proof testing certificates can be supplied with your order for a nominal fee and must be requested at the time of order. Proof tests are performed in the factory where the sling is pull tested to 2x the vertical rating and officially recorded as proof for governing bodies. During the standard manufacturing process, only random slings during a production run are tested for compliance; in order to provide proof testing certificates with your order, every sling must be pull tested at the time of manufacture.</em></p>Specifications<ul><li>Vertical Capacity: 76,400 lbs.</li><li>Basket Capacity: 152,900 lbs.</li><li>Choker Capacity: 61,200 lbs.</li><li>Note: All Nylon and Polyester lifting slings have a length tolerance of +/- 2%.</li></ul>
