Because of this sustainability enhancement, this product is approved to be part of Lifting Solution Group's Aspire range™. In November 2023, this product won the prestigious LEEA Sustainable Award.

Sustainability Fact Sheet Available (see tab documents drop-down menu)

Best used for

  • Lifting loads that benefit from broad, flat load contact.
  • Operations seeking a lower-carbon alternative to standard polyester webbing slings.

Not ideal for

  • High-temperature, sharp-edge or strong-alkali environments where another sling type may be more suitable.

Product Benefits

  • Recycled polyester construction reduces CO2e emissions by up to 60%.*
  • Double-layer solid-woven construction provides a strong, flat lifting surface.
  • Folded, reinforced eyes include additional protection against connection-point wear.
  • Color-coded by WLL for quick load capacity identification.
  • Blue label shows WLL by connection method and lifting angle.
  • Unique serial number supports sling registration and traceability.
  • Protected label and inspection calendar support ongoing inspection management.
  • Tested in accordance with EN 1492-1 for documented lifting performance.

Chemical resistance: Resistant to most acids, but not strong alkalis
Stretch at working load: 2-3%.
Length tolerance: Nominal length (EWL) ±2%.

*A 3rd party climate LCA with a cradle-to-gate perspective according to ISO14067 has shown that our r-PET webbing slings have up to 60% fewer CO2 emissions than our standard product. This means that our products are not only better for the environment but also help reduce CO2 emissions.

Comment for 1t webbing slings: We are currently changing the webbing width from 50 to 30 mm. During the transition phase, we will supply 1t webbing slings with either 50 mm or 30 mm webbing.

  • Material: Polyester (PES), high tenacity multifilament made from r-PET (recycled PET).
  • Marking: According to standard, CE-marked, UKCA-marked, The slings are provided with a blue label and a white warning label with Aspire range information on the back side.
  • Temperature range: -40°C up to +100°C
  • Standard: EN 1492-1
  • Note: According to EN 1492-1:2000+A1:2008: D.3.7: Slings should be protected from edges, friction and abrasion, whether from the load or the lifting appliance. Where reinforcements and protection against damage from edges and/or abrasion is supplied as part of the sling, this should be correctly positioned. It may be necessary to supplement this with additional protection.

Product FAQ

dimentions
A webbing sling is a flat textile lifting sling made from woven fibres. Its wide contact surface provides good load stability and helps distribute pressure, making it suitable for general lifting applications and for handling loads where a broader support area is beneficial.. The sling is manufactured with a safety factor of 7:1, meaning the minimum breaking strength is 7:1 times higher than the working load limit when used correctly and in accordance with applicable standards.
What is the CO₂ footprint of this rPET sling?
This rPET sling is manufactured with a reduced environmental impact compared to conventional textile slings. The CO₂ footprint varies depending on the sling variant, such as length and capacity. Across the available variants, the CO₂ emissions range from 0.36 to 5.16 kg CO₂e per sling. These values are based on cradle-to-gate calculations and help you compare environmental impact across different sling options. You can read more about how we do these calculations under our sustainability pages.
What is the working load limit (WLL) range for this sling?
The working load limit (WLL) of this sling varies across the available variants and lifting configurations. Across the range of variants, the WLL spans from 1 to 5 tons.
