Liftking 5,000kg Duplex Webbing Sling, 1m to 10m EWL

The Liftking 5,000kg / 5 tonne duplex webbing sling is a high capacity flat woven polyester lifting sling designed for heavy industrial lifting where a soft, load-friendly alternative to chain is required. With a 5,000kg working load limit, reinforced becket eyes and a 7:1 factor of safety, it is well suited to construction, civil engineering, heavy manufacturing and plant handling applications.

This 5 tonne web sling is manufactured from 100% polyester and colour coded red for quick WLL identification on site. Despite its lifting capacity, it remains flexible and manageable, helping reduce handling effort during rigging. Each sling is manufactured to EN1492-1:2000, certified to TUV and GS standard, and supplied with a certificate of conformity.

Common Uses for a 5 Tonne Webbing Sling

This 5,000kg duplex webbing sling is commonly used for structural steelwork, heavy fabricated assemblies, precast concrete, plant machinery, industrial equipment and construction lifting. It is a practical choice where a higher WLL is required but the load still needs protection from hard lifting media.

Typical applications include machinery installation, lifting large frames, handling heavy plant components, moving precast sections and positioning steelwork. The wide polyester webbing surface helps distribute pressure across the load when correctly selected and used.

Lifting Hitches and Capacity Guidance

Straight Lift

Suitable for vertical lifting up to the rated WLL shown on the sling label.

Basket Hitch

Can be used where the load is supported correctly, the sling angle is suitable and the lift has been properly planned.

Choke Hitch

Can reduce the effective working capacity. Always check the sling label, hitch factor and lifting plan before use.

LOLER Inspection and Safe Use

Under LOLER, lifting accessories such as webbing slings should be thoroughly examined by a competent person every 6 months, unless a written examination scheme specifies a different interval. A pre-use visual inspection should also be completed before every lift.

Check for cuts, tears, abrasion, damaged stitching, heat damage, chemical contamination, missing or illegible labels and any signs of overloading. Do not use the sling on sharp edges without suitable edge protection.
