Webbing Slings

WARNING: When selecting slings the following must be considered.

  1. Weight of load.
  2. Number of slings used to make lift.
  3. Type of hitch (vertical, choker, basket).
  4. Effect of "sling-to-load" angle on sling capacity (see table A). Increasing the angle of the sling increases the strain. Therefore, it decreases the lifting capacity of the strain. Therefore, it decreases the lifting capacity of the sling. Capacities listed are for vertical lifts.
  5. Chance slings must be considered as non-insulating.

All Chance slings are identified with a heat-imprinted sewnon tag that includes capacities, width, style and length.

All Chance slings carry the required OSHA identification tags.

BASIC SLING TYPES

ENDLESS: The most versatile of all. Used in vertical, basket or choker hitch it conforms precisely to the shape of the load. It provides the best gripping and holding power in the upright position. It is also the easiest to use and lasts the longest because there are no eyes to determine waring points. The endless construction permits the two parts of the sling which go around the load to spread apart to provide a "cradle" for the load.

RETURN EYE: Designed primarily for use in choker hitch, although it lends itself equally well to basket and vertical hitch applications. It is constructed from two widths of webbing laid side by side and held in place by a third width of webbing which binds the two together. This type of construction results in eye openings which are in the same plane as the sling body, and which is best for choking . . . the sling body remains flat against the load.

How do you carry two full buckets? The above illustrations typify the stresses imposed on slings when the legs are attached to the load at various angles.

While rated capacities are shown in this catalog, these tables were inserted primarily to show the severe reduction in capacity when a sling is operated at a wide angle. Wherever head room permits, it is recommended that the angle with the vertical not exceed 45°. Where head room is small and sling must be spread at an excessive angle, special care must be used in selecting a sling. In such cases, consult your distributor or Hubbell Power Systems, Inc.
