Flat Lifting Sling

Flat / Duplex lifting slings are a reliable, versatile solution for lifting, suspending, and positioning loads across construction, manufacturing, warehousing, and engineering environments. Manufactured from high-strength polyester webbing, they offer an excellent strength-to-weight ratio while remaining flexible, lightweight, and easy to handle on site.
Designed to spread load weight evenly, flat webbing slings help reduce pressure points on delicate or finished surfaces, making them ideal for lifting steel, timber, machinery, pallets, and irregularly shaped loads.

Why choose flat lifting slings?

Flat / Duplex lifting slings are widely used because they combine strength, safety, and practicality:
Lightweight and flexible for easy handling and storage
High load capacity with clearly marked Working Load Limits (WLL)
Soft webbing reduces damage to lifted loads
Suitable for straight, choke, and basket hitches
Resistant to most oils, grease, and common industrial chemicals

Each sling is colour-coded in line with industry standards, allowing for quick and accurate load identification on site.
