Synthetic Slings vs. Harsh Hooks

A variety of industries use synthetic slings to move equipment and product on a daily basis. Like most other sling types, synthetic web slings and synthetic roundslings serve to help provide acceptable rigging methods for load handling. In the same locations, loads may be rigged using steel slings made from wire rope and alloy chain. Spreader bars and lifting beams get used on certain loads to help avoid sling-to-load contact, and increase sling angles thereby lessening the individual sling tensions.
