A sling is a device or a set of components used to lift and carry heavy loads, often used in conjunction with cranes, winches and other lifting machines. Slings are essential in many areas of industry, construction, transport and logistics, where safe and effective handling of heavy objects is required. The choice of the appropriate type of sling depends on the nature of the load, working conditions and requirements specific to the operation. Each sling has a specified maximum load capacity which can’t be exceeded to ensure safety at work.
