Global Industrial 298497 Polyester Round Sling 6 Ft

Product Description

The GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL 298497 is an endless polyester round sling rated for a range of lifting capacities depending on hitch configuration. Built for rigging and material handling applications, this sling provides a soft, protective contact surface that reduces the risk of load damage during lifts. The endless loop design eliminates hardware attachment points, distributing load force evenly around the sling body. At 6 feet in length and 1.5 inches in diameter, it is suited for mid-range lifting tasks in distribution, manufacturing, and industrial settings.

This sling is used in vertical, choker, and basket hitch configurations, with rated capacities of 8,400 pounds vertical, 6,700 pounds choker, and 16,800 pounds basket. It is appropriate for general material handling, distribution center operations, storage facility work, and light-to-medium industrial rigging. The polyester construction resists moisture and many common chemicals, making it functional in a range of indoor and outdoor work environments. Rigging professionals, warehouse crews, and industrial maintenance teams are the primary installers and operators.
