Introduction to Webbing Slings
Webbing slings are essential lifting accessories commonly used in various industrial applications. Manufactured using synthetic fibers such as polyester and nylon, these slings are specifically designed for delicate, polished, or high-value loads.
Their soft surface texture prevents scratching or damaging sensitive materials, making them ideal for industries where material protection is critical—like aerospace, construction, and shipping.

Manufacturing Process
At SSTC, webbing slings are manufactured using heavy or light-duty materials, depending on the application. A crucial step in their production is the Surface Treatment process, which enhances:
- Abrasion resistance
- Moisture sealing
- Structural durability
This treatment helps prevent grit and moisture from infiltrating the sling’s core, thereby reducing internal wear and extending service life.
To further enhance performance, slings may include:
- Wear pads
- Edge guards
- Protective sleeves
These accessories are available in a wide variety of configurations to meet specific lifting requirements.

Key Features of Webbing Slings
Shock Absorption
Webbing slings offer significant elongation capacity, which helps absorb shocks and reduce dynamic aftershock effects during lifting.
- Polyester slings can stretch up to 3% at rated capacity
- Nylon slings can stretch from 6% to 8%, offering greater flexibility
Environmental Resistance
These slings are:
- Resistant to mildew, moisture, and rot
- Durable against common industrial chemicals
Polyester slings are ideal for acidic environments, while nylon slings are preferred in alkaline settings.
