Eye & Eye Roundsling

No.3071

The Eye & Eye Round Sling is a highly versatile and robust textile lifting sling, distinguished by reinforced loops ("eyes") at each end and a flexible round body designed to protect delicate loads.

  • Advanced Construction: Features an endless core of load-bearing synthetic yarn completely encapsulated by a durable polyester outer sleeve to protect the internal strands from abrasion.
  • Hitch Versatility: The double-eye design allows for exceptional flexibility, making it highly effective for safe execution of vertical, choker, and basket hitches.
  • Load Protection: The soft, flexible polyester construction conforms to the shape of the load, significantly reducing the risk of scratching or crushing finished or delicate surfaces.
  • Wear Resistance: The dedicated eye loops and protective tubular sleeve add critical durability to the sling body, especially in applications where localized abrasion is a common problem.
  • Technical Data

  • Safe Use of Round Sling

Easy Attachment: Unlike endless slings, the reinforced eyes allow for direct, non-bulky connection to crane hooks and shackles.
Core Strength: The load is carried by a core of high-strength polyester yarns, while the outer sleeve protects against wear.

Product Features

  • Best of Both Worlds: Combines the high load capacity and soft surface of a Round Sling with the easy connection points of an Eye & Eye Flat Sling.
  • Easy Hook Attachment: Features distinct reinforced eyes at both ends, allowing for direct and secure attachment to crane hooks or shackles without the bulkiness of folding an endless sling.
  • Superior Load Protection: The soft, double-layer polyester sleeve protects delicate, painted, or polished loads from scratches and damage better than chain or wire rope.
  • High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Extremely lightweight and easy to handle, yet capable of lifting heavy industrial loads (internal load-bearing yarns provide the strength).
  • Durability: The outer sleeve takes the wear and tear, protecting the internal load-bearing yarns from abrasion and UV degradation.
  • Versatile Rigging: Suitable for vertical, choker, and basket hitches, offering excellent flexibility in complex rigging scenarios.

Safe Use of Polyester Round Slings

H-Lift Round Slings, manufactured to EN 1492-2, provide a versatile, lightweight, and cost-effective solution for heavy lifting. This guide outlines the essential safety practices, product features, and maintenance requirements to ensure safe operations.

Why Choose H-Lift Round Slings?

🛡️ Soft & Non-Damaging

The soft polyester sleeve cushions the load, making round slings ideal for lifting fragile, polished, or easily marred surfaces where chain or wire rope might cause damage.

⚖️ High Strength-to-Weight

Made from high-tenacity polyester (PES) yarn continuously wound in an endless loop. They offer immense lifting capacity while being extremely lightweight and easy to handle.

🎨 Color Coded Safety

Fully compliant with EN 1492-2 international standards. Each sling is color-coded by tonnage (e.g., Violet=1T, Green=2T) with capacity stripes for instant identification.

🔄 Infinite Flexibility

The endless loop construction allows for rotation of load-bearing points, extending the sling's service life by avoiding constant wear on a single spot.

Operational Safety Guidelines

Safety is paramount in lifting operations. Failure to follow these guidelines can result in sling failure, load damage, or injury.

ALWAYS:
  • Inspect the sling before every use for cuts, holes in the cover, or chemical damage.
  • Check the label to ensure the Working Load Limit (WLL) is sufficient for the load.
  • Protect from sharp edges. Use protective sleeves or corner pads if the load has sharp radii or rough edges.
  • Consider the mode factor. The lifting capacity changes depending on the hitch method (Straight, Choked, or Basket).
  • Plan the lift. Ensure the load is free to move and the landing area is prepared.
  • Store correctly. Keep slings in a dry, clean area away from direct sunlight (UV radiation) and heat sources.
NEVER:
  • Never tie knots in a round sling to shorten it. Knots significantly reduce the breaking strength.
  • Never overload. Do not exceed the WLL indicated on the label.
  • Never drag the load while it is resting on the sling, or drag the sling across rough floors.
  • Never use damaged slings. If the outer cover is cut and the inner core yarns are exposed, withdraw it from service immediately.
  • Never shock load. Lift slowly and steadily to avoid dynamic forces that can snap the sling.
  • Avoid chemical exposure without consulting the supplier (Polyester is resistant to acids but damaged by strong alkalis).

Inspection & Criteria for Removal

Regular inspection is critical. A round sling must be removed from service immediately if any of the following are detected:

  • Missing or illegible label: If you cannot identify the WLL, do not use it.
  • Damaged Sleeve: Cuts, holes, or heavy abrasion on the outer cover that exposes the inner load-bearing core yarns.
  • Heat or Chemical Damage: Hardening, melting, softening, or discoloration of the fibers.
  • Knots: Any knots found in the sling body.

Note: Minor chafing on the outer cover surface is normal, but deep abrasion requires assessment by a competent person.
