How to choose the right sling
Choose by rated capacity for your hitch and by length. Round slings are color-coded by capacity in many standards, but always read the tag.
Specifications explained
- Safety factor: 5:1 — the ratio between breaking strength and working load limit (for example 3:1 or 5:1). A higher factor means more margin for shock loading and wear.
- Vertical capacity: 10,600 lbs — the rated load for a single sling leg hanging straight up and down.
- Choker capacity: 8,500 lbs — the rated load when the sling is wrapped around the load and passed through itself; it is lower than the vertical rating.
- Basket / angled capacity: 15,000 lb (Horizontal) — the rated load when the sling cradles the load or legs run at an angle. Lower angles increase the tension in each leg, so always use the rating for your actual angle.
- Material: Polyester — Polyester webbing has low stretch, holds tension well and resists UV and moisture — the standard for tie-down and lifting straps.
Before you buy
- Know the load weight and the hitch you will use.
- Check the rated capacity for that hitch and the sling angle.
- Confirm fittings and pin sizes are compatible with your rigging.
Safety and care
- Inspect the cover for cuts or exposed core yarns before every lift.
- Use wear protection on sharp edges.
- Never tie knots in a round sling.
