Description
EA Polyester Round Sling for Flexible Industrial Lifting
The EA Polyester Round Sling is a flexible
synthetic lifting sling designed for industrial rigging,
machinery handling and load-positioning applications.
Its load-bearing core is manufactured from
continuous high-strength synthetic fibers without joints,
while an outer woven polyester sleeve protects the internal
load-bearing fibers during handling and lifting.
The current EA specification table covers
Working Load Limits from 1T to 12T,
with larger capacities above 12T also listed as available.
Continuous Load-Bearing Core with Protective Polyester Sleeve
Unlike a flat webbing sling, the primary load-bearing element
of the EA Round Sling is located inside the protective sleeve.
The internal core uses continuous fibers without joints,
providing the flexible round construction that defines this
type of synthetic lifting sling.
Continuous Load-Bearing Core
The internal load-bearing core is manufactured from
continuous synthetic fibers without joints.
Polyester Protective Sleeve
The outer sleeve is manufactured from
100% high-tenacity polyester (PES).
Flexible Load Contact
The soft and flexible sling construction helps
reduce unnecessary marking of the lifted load surface.
Protected Inner Fibers
The woven outer sleeve helps protect the internal
load-bearing fibers from general abrasion during use.
EA Round Sling Working Load Limits
The current EA specification series provides nominal
Working Load Limits from 1T to 12T.
Actual permitted lifting capacity depends not only on the
nominal sling WLL, but also on the
lifting method and sling angle.

Round Sling Capacity Changes with Hitch and Sling Angle
Different lifting arrangements apply different capacity
factors to the nominal Working Load Limit.
Straight Lift
Listed capacity factor: 1.0.
Choked Lift
Listed capacity factor: 0.8.
Basket Lift 0°–7°
Listed capacity factor: 2.0.
Angled Lifting
Listed factors decrease as the applicable sling
angle changes.
Two-Sling Lifting
Separate capacity factors are provided for two-sling
straight and choked configurations.
Always select the applicable Working Load Limit from the
Specifications table for the actual lifting arrangement.
DIN EN 1492-2 Color Coding
EA Polyester Round Slings are color-coded according to
DIN EN 1492-2 for visual capacity
identification.
Capacity stripes are also provided, with each stripe
representing 1 ton of rated capacity.
Each sling is supplied with identification showing the
rated capacity and effective length.
Safety Factors from 4:1 to 8:1
EA Round Slings are available with several safety-factor
configurations according to ordering and market requirements.

Flexible Sling Construction for Load Surface Protection
The flexible round sling body can conform around different
load shapes while maintaining a soft contact surface.
This makes the EA suitable for loads where hard lifting
components could create unwanted concentrated contact
or surface marking.
Sling protection should still be considered wherever
sharp or abrasive edges may damage the outer sleeve.
-40°C to 100°C Listed Operating Temperature
The listed operating temperature range for the EA Polyester
Round Sling is -40°C to 100°C.
Environmental conditions and sling condition should always
be checked before lifting.
EA Polyester Round Sling Applications
Machinery Handling
Flexible support for lifting and positioning
machinery and industrial equipment.
Fabricated Components
Suitable for lifting finished components where
flexible load contact is preferred.
Warehouse Lifting
General rigging and handling of industrial
materials and packaged loads.
Equipment Installation
Used for load lifting and positioning during
machinery installation and maintenance.
How to Select an EA Polyester Round Sling
01
Determine Load Weight
Confirm the maximum load before selecting the
nominal Working Load Limit.
02
Choose the Lifting Method
Determine whether the load will be lifted
vertically, in a choker arrangement or using
a basket configuration.
03
Check Sling Angle
Use the applicable WLL factor when the sling
operates at an angle.
04
Select Safety Factor
Specify the required 4:1, 5:1, 6:1,
7:1 or 8:1 configuration when ordering.
05
Inspect the Load Surface
Identify sharp or abrasive edges and use suitable
sling protection where required.
Inspect the Round Sling Before Each Lift
