Round soft slings are strong, flexible, and easy-to-use tools for lifting heavy objects. They are widely used in industries because they are lightweight yet powerful. Most round slings are made in a loop shape, professional called round soft endless sling. If needed, they can also be made with two loops at each end, called two eyes. Their simple design and strong material make them perfect for safety lifting many types of loads.
What Makes Round Soft Slings Special?
- Lifting Power
Round soft slings are made to lift a wide range of weights. They can handle loads from 1 ton to 300 tons. This means they work well for lifting small items like equipment or tools and also large things like heavy machines or steel beams. Every sling is tested to make sure it can carry its maximum load safety, so workers can trust its strength.
2. Length for Every Need
The length of round slings can be adjusted to suit different tasks. They can be as short as 1 meter or as long as 80 meters. This makes them useful in many places:
- Short slings are great for small or tight spaces where you need careful control.
- Longer slings are best for large projects, such as lifting materials on construction sites or ships.
No matter the job, there’s a sling length to match your needs perfectly.
3. Safe and Reliable Standards
Round soft slings are made to follow strict safety rules:
- European Standard EN 1492-2:2000: These slings have a 7:1 safety factor, meaning they are tested to carry seven times their rated load. This adds an extra layer of safety for high-risk tasks.
- American Standard: These slings follow a 5:1 safety factor, which makes them strong and reliable for most jobs.
These rules ensure that every sling is safe and ready to handle even the toughest jobs.
4. Strong and Durable Materials
Inside the round soft sling, there is 100% high-quality polyester yarn. This strong material gives the sling its amazing lifting power. Polyester has many benefits:
- High Strength: It can lift heavy loads without breaking.
- Durable: Polyester resists wear and tear, sunlight, and water.
- Low Stretch: The sling does not stretch much, so you can control your lift easily.
- Lightweight: Even though they are strong, round slings are light and easy to carry.
Thanks to these qualities, round soft slings are long-lasting and very reliable.
5. Easy to Identify with Colors
Round soft slings have a color system to show their load capacity. This helps workers quickly choose the right sling for the job:
European Standard:
- 1 Ton: Purple
- 2 Tons: Green
- 3 Tons: Yellow
- 4 Tons: Grey
- 5 Tons: Red
- 6 Tons: Brown
- 8 Tons: Blue
- 10 Tons: Orange
Meanwhile, Each black line represents 1 ton of rated load capacity, making it easier for workers to quickly identify and select the appropriate sling for the job.
- 1 Ton: 1 black line
- 2 Tons: 2 black lines
- 3 Tons: 3 black lines
- 4 Tons: 4 black lines
- 5 Tons: 5 black lines
- 6 Tons: 6 black lines
- 8 Tons: 8 black lines
- 10 Tons: 10 black lines
American Standard: All slings are yellow, no matter their load capacity. The load rating is shown on a tag.
This simple color system helps workers stay safe and avoid using the wrong sling.

Round soft slings can be used in different lifting styles:
- Vertical Lifting: Straight lifts where the full strength of the sling is used.
- Choker Hitch: The sling wraps tightly around the object to hold it firmly.
- Basket Hitch: The sling forms a loop under the load for better balance.
