High-Performance Synthetic Slings

Engineered for safe, efficient lifting with reduced weight and enhanced flexibility. Perfect for delicate loads and sensitive environments.

Strength Without the Weight: Why Synthetic Slings Excel

Synthetic slings are constructed from high-strength polyester or nylon fibers, offering a lightweight and flexible alternative to wire rope and chain slings. Designed to reduce load damage and provide precise control, synthetic slings are ideal for lifting applications that require gentle handling or risk reduction.

Their non-abrasive surface makes them perfect for handling painted, polished, or soft-finished materials—while still maintaining high load capacities. These slings are color-coded by capacity for easy identification and are available in a wide range of configurations to match your specific lifting needs.

Types of Synthetic Slings We Offer

We supply and fabricate a complete selection of synthetic sling types to meet the demands of various industries and lifting conditions.

Flat Web Slings

Made from woven polyester or nylon webbing. Lightweight, versatile, and ideal for delicate or finished surfaces. Available in single, double, or multi-ply configurations.

Round Slings

Comprised of a continuous loop of polyester yarn encased in a protective woven jacket. Excellent flexibility and load-bearing distribution for lifting irregular loads.

Endless Slings

Formed in a continuous loop, these slings can be rotated to extend service life and are highly adaptable for multiple lifting angles and load types.

Eye & Eye Slings

Feature reinforced loops at each end for secure attachment to hooks or shackles. Suitable for choker, vertical, or basket configurations.

Specialty Coated Slings

Available with polyurethane coatings or wear pads to enhance durability and abrasion resistance in rugged environments.

Why Our Wire Rope Stands Out

Wire Rope Industries Atlantic delivers synthetic slings that combine safety, performance, and long-term value.

Gentle on Loads

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between web slings and round slings?

Web slings are flat and ideal for load stability and surface contact. Round slings are more flexible and great for lifting rounded or uneven objects.

Are synthetic slings as strong as wire rope or chain?

Yes—synthetic slings offer high lifting capacities while being easier to handle. However, they’re more suitable for controlled environments and specific lifting needs.

How do I know what size sling I need?

Sling size depends on your load weight, lift angle, and method (vertical, choker, basket). Our team can help assess and recommend the safest option.

Can synthetic slings be inspected and re-certified?

Yes. We offer inspection services to check for wear, damage, or compliance. Synthetic slings should be regularly checked to meet safety standards.

Can you add protective coatings or wear pads?

Absolutely. We can customize slings with coatings or pads for high-abrasion or chemically exposed environments.
