Value Collection WS-MH-SLNG1-278 Lifting Sling 1.6T 6ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-MH-SLNG1-278 is a 2-ply flat eye-and-eye lifting sling rated for 1.6 tons in a vertical hitch configuration. Measuring 6 feet long and 1 inch wide, this silver sling is designed for general rigging and material handling applications. At 0.89 pounds, it is lightweight enough for frequent repositioning on the job site. Riggers, millwrights, and industrial maintenance technicians use this type of sling when a rated, controlled lift is required and wire rope or chain slings are not appropriate for the load surface.

This sling is suited for vertical hitch lifts in light industrial, warehouse, and construction environments. The 2-ply construction distributes load stress across both layers, providing added durability compared to single-ply webbing. It is appropriate for use with overhead cranes, hoists, and lifting beams where a 6-foot reach and a 1.6-ton vertical capacity meet the job requirements. Always confirm hitch configuration before use, as basket and choker hitch ratings differ from the stated vertical capacity.

Key Features

• 1.6-ton vertical hitch capacity supports light to medium overhead lifts
• 6-foot length provides reach for most standard rigging setups
• 1-inch width, 2-ply construction balances strength and flexibility
• Silver webbing allows quick visual identification on a multi-sling rigging job
• Lightweight at 0.89 pounds for easy handling and transport

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose flat webbing lifting sling for use with standard overhead hoists, cranes, and lifting frames requiring a 6-foot, 1.6-ton vertical-rated sling.

Installation Notes

Inspect the sling for cuts, abrasions, chemical damage, or distortion before each use. Rigging must be performed by a qualified rigger in accordance with ASME B30.9 standards for slings. Never exceed the rated capacity, and always account for hitch type when calculating working load limits. Remove the sling from service immediately if any damage is detected.
