Value Collection WS-MH-SLNG1-172 Web Sling 17200 Lb

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-MH-SLNG1-172 is a single-ply flat web sling rated for 17,200 pounds of vertical lifting capacity and 6,900 pounds in choker configuration. Measuring 8 feet in length and 3 inches in width, this sling is designed for rigging and material handling applications where a wide, flat bearing surface is needed to protect the load during lift. Weighing 3.24 pounds, it is easy to handle and store. Riggers, millwrights, and industrial maintenance crews are the primary installers of this type of lifting sling on job sites and in facilities.

This sling is suited for vertical hitch, choker hitch, and basket hitch configurations depending on the rated capacity for each method. It is commonly used in manufacturing plants, warehouses, construction sites, and anywhere overhead lifting is performed with a crane, hoist, or forklift-mounted attachment. The 3-inch-wide flat profile distributes load stress across a broader contact area compared to round slings or wire rope, making it a common choice for lifting fabricated parts, structural steel, machinery, and similar loads.

Installation Notes

Rigging work should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with ASME B30.9 standards for slings. Inspect the sling before each use for cuts, abrasion, burns, or discoloration that could indicate reduced capacity. Never exceed the rated capacity for the hitch type being used, and protect the sling from sharp edges with corner pads where contact could damage the webbing. Remove the sling from service immediately if damage is found.
