Construction:
Flat Webbing: The sling is made from flat webbing belt, which provides a wide bearing surface, reducing the risk of damage to the load.
Single or Double Ply: Slings can be constructed with single or double layers (plies) of webbing, with double ply providing greater strength and durability.
Strength and Load Capacity:
Load Ratings: Webbing slings come with various load ratings, often indicated by color coding and labels that specify the Working Load Limit (WLL). The load capacity can range from a few hundred kilograms to several tons.
Design Features:
Eye-Eye or Endless Loop | Webbing slings can be made with eye-eye (flat loops at each end) or endless loop designs. Eye-eye slings are versatile and easy to use, while endless loop slings provide a continuous loop for wrapping around loads. |

Safety and Inspection:
Inspection: Regular inspection is necessary to ensure the sling is in good condition. Look for signs of wear, cuts, abrasions, or chemical damage.
Usage Guidelines: Follow manufacturer guidelines for proper use, including angle of lift, load distribution, and environmental conditions.
Applications:
Construction: Lifting building materials, equipment, and prefabricated components.
Shipping and Logistics: Handling cargo, containers, and machinery.
