Continuous Eye - Wide Slings
Country of Origin: USA
Application: Wide surface area for protecting loads. Heavy
duty sling for lifting large rocks, headstones, and fragile or finished
surfaces. Wide surface area sling for improved stability.
Description: Type 8 nylon web sling. Used in basket hitches. Improved protection for loads through wider surface area. Wide width improves load balance over standard nylon slings. Wider profile distributes pressure over larger area and prevents scratches or cuts. Lightweight, flexible, and relatively soft. More suitable for higher capacity loads than Attached Wide Eye Slings. Constructed by stitching together the length of an endless sling. Eye loops are sewn to form a taper to accommodate hoist and crane hooks. Available in one-ply or two-ply. Nylon webbing is resistant to most regularly encountered chemicals, except for moderate strength acids and bleaches. Elevated temperatures (above 194 F) significantly reduces capacity. Prolonged exposure to sunlight and other sources of UV light results in degradation of the nylon web sling. Red core yarns help identify cuts, punctures, and abrasions.
Industry Names: Also known as ‘wide body basket slings’.
Quality Standard: Sewn in the USA with the name of the manufacturer sewn-in for traceability and quality assurance. Bears a tag displaying the rated capacity. Complies with ASME B30.9.

WARNING: Never exceed rated capacity! All edges must be
properly padded to avoid cuts. Failure to follow proper inspection, care and
use criteria may result in personal injury or death.
