Soft Slings Hire

Soft lifting slings are ideal for lifting fragile or finished items such as polished metal, painted equipment, delicate machinery and timber with sensitive surfaces. Their flexible, non-abrasive material helps prevent scratches, dents or damage during lifting, making them suitable for handling loads that require extra care.

The key difference lies in their construction and ideal use cases:

• Flat Webbing Slings are made from layers of polyester webbing with flat, wide surfaces. They’re lightweight, easy to handle and great for lifting loads with a broad, even weight distribution.
• Round Slings consist of a continuous loop of high-strength fibres enclosed in a protective fabric sleeve. They're more flexible and suited for lifting delicate loads.

Both types are soft slings used for lifting sensitive items, but the choice depends on the load shape, surface and required lifting method.
