Webbing Straps? You will find the largest selection here
A Webbing Sling is a flat woven polyester strap with an eye at both ends. They are suitable for lifting loads without sharp edges as well as objects that must not be scratched or where the lifting must be more gentle on the object than, for example, Wire Rope Slings or Chains. Our selection plays along with our slogan which is: Safety for all. And you are therefore guaranteed safe products and the starting point for a safe lift. However, we always have a focus on price and quality working together - so that we can find the absolute best solution.
Remember to weaved Lifting Equipment, such as Webbing Slings must not be exposed to sharp edges. This problem can be solved by using edge protection.
We have a large selection in stock throughout Denmark. We have branches in Aalborg, Esbjerg, Odense and Copenhagen.
Understanding the colour codes on your webbing sling (WLL)
All approved webbing slings and round slings manufactured in accordance with the European standard EN 1492-1 are colour-coded. The colour makes it quick and easy for the operator to identify the sling's maximum lifting capacity (WLL - Working Load Limit) in a straight lift:
- Violet: 1,000 kg (1 tonne)
- Green: 2,000 kg (2 tonnes)
- Yellow: 3,000 kg (3 tonnes)
- Grey: 4,000 kg (4 tonnes)
- Red: 5,000 kg (5 tonnes)
- Brown: 6,000 kg (6 tonnes)
- Blue: 8,000 kg (8 tonnes)
- Orange: 10,000 kg (10 tonnes) and above
In addition to the colour, webbing slings are often fitted with woven-in black lengthwise stripes, where each stripe represents 1 tonne of capacity. Always remember to check the sewn-on blue label, which is your guarantee of the sling's approval and capacity.
Safe use and inspection of webbing slings
Textile lifting equipment such as webbing slings is incredibly strong, but vulnerable to sharp edges and rough surfaces. If the sling is pulled over a sharp steel edge under load, the fibres can be cut, which can lead to a catastrophic failure. Therefore, always use approved edge protection when lifting items with sharp edges. A webbing sling must be visually inspected before each use. If you find fraying, cuts in the load-bearing fibres, chemical damage, or if the blue label is missing or illegible, the sling must be discarded immediately. In addition, all webbing slings must undergo a statutory inspection by a competent person at least once every 12 months.
