Lifting slings
Polyester roundslings
Four series with published ratings, from a 2,600 lb endless loop to a 300,000 lb high-performance sling — vertical, choker and basket at every charted angle.
Why a roundsling
Light, flexible, and kind to the load
A roundsling is a bundle of continuous polyester yarn inside a protective jacket. It weighs a fraction of chain at the same rating, conforms to whatever it wraps, and won't mark a finished surface. The jacket takes the abrasion; the core carries the load — which is why a cut jacket is a removal criterion, not cosmetic.
ENR
Polyester endless roundsling
The basic roundsling — a continuous loop, colour-coded to 21,200 lb
2,600 – 90,000 lb vertical
EER
Polyester eye and eye roundsling
A roundsling body with an abrasion-resistant sleeve sewn into an eye at each end
2,600 – 90,000 lb vertical
FP
FIRST® polyester roundsling
A transparent cover so the load-bearing core can actually be inspected
3,000 – 90,000 lb vertical
FHPZ
FIRST® high performance roundsling
Stronger and lighter than polyester at the same rating, to 300,000 lb
10,000 – 300,000 lb vertical
ENR
Polyester endless roundsling
Endless polyester roundslings are the most basic roundsling: a continuous polyester core in a double jacket. With no eyes or fittings the wear point can be rotated around the loop, and the sling conforms to whatever it wraps.
- Manufactured in accordance with ASME B30.9
- Double jacket construction
- Capacities colour-coded up to 21,200 lb vertical; orange above
- Elongation at rated capacity is 3%
- Can be customised to your specifications

- Rated capacity in lb. Basket figures are at the sling angle shown, measured from horizontal.
- Choker ratings assume a choke angle of 120° or more; the rating reduces below that.
- Minimum sling length may apply. Colour codes and rated capacities vary between manufacturers — the identification tag governs.
EER
Polyester eye and eye roundsling
Eye and eye polyester roundslings are made by sewing an abrasion-resistant sleeve onto the sling body to form an eye at each end. Same ratings as the endless series, with the eyes for hooks and shackles.
- Manufactured in accordance with ASME B30.9
- Double jacket construction
- Elongation at rated capacity is 3%
