Heavy Duty Lifting Slings

Webbing slings, including Type 3 (Eye and Eye) and Type 5 (Endless) configurations, are designed for versatility and reliability in lifting applications. Selecting an appropriate slinging method is critical to ensure the safe and efficient use of Dawnerz lifting slings.

Vertical Hitch: The vertical hitch, also known as the straight hitch, involves attaching both sling eyes directly to the lifting point, providing a stable and straightforward suspension. This configuration maximizes the sling's rated capacity and reduces wear by minimizing abrasion.

Choker Hitch: The choker hitch involves passing one sling eye through the other, creating a loop that encircles the load. This tightens around the load, offering a secure grip ideal for confined spaces and uneven objects. It maximizes lifting capacity with limited sling length and is crucial for lifting cylindrical or irregularly shaped loads.

Basket Hitch: In the basket hitch, each sling eye wraps around opposing sides of the load and connects at a single lifting point above. This configuration evenly distributes weight across a broader area, enhancing stability and control for lifting unbalanced or delicate objects.

Safety Note: Always refer to the sling's user manual and capacity charts to determine safe working load limits specific to each hitch type. Understanding these configurations ensures you maximize the effectiveness and safety of your webbing slings in various lifting scenarios.

Our guides are packed with crucial safety information regarding the proper use of synthetic lifting slings and rigging straps. However, it's important to understand that they cannot encompass every aspect of safe material and load handling.

Risk Assessment: Before utilizing any lifting or rigging equipment, it's your responsibility to conduct a comprehensive risk assessment of the specific situation. This includes factors like load weight and type, lifting environment, sling selection and inspection, and lifting techniques.

Safety Beyond the Guide: We strongly recommend seeking additional training and familiarizing yourself with best practices for safe material handling and load control. Resources such as industry standards, safety certifications, and qualified lifting professionals can provide valuable insights.

Consequences of Neglect: Failing to conduct a thorough risk assessment and neglecting proper safety procedures can have serious consequences. Ignoring these precautions could lead to equipment failure, loss of load, and potentially severe injury or even death. By prioritizing safety and taking responsibility for a comprehensive risk assessment, you can ensure the safe and successful operation of your lifting equipment.

Protecting Your Slings

Synthetic lifting slings are susceptible to damage from sharp edges and rough surfaces. This can significantly reduce their lifespan and compromise safety during lifting operations. To address this challenge, we recommend incorporating our high-quality sewn wear pads into your lifting routine.
