Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber slings are exceptionally strong fibers. By weight, they are 15 times stronger than steel, making HMPE Endless Round Slings and related products ideal for various applications. Despite their strength, UHMWPE slings have the same diameter as steel cable slings but weigh significantly less, allowing cranes to lift heavier objects. These slings outperform steel cables and other synthetic fibers in relaxation fatigue, bending fatigue, and abrasion resistance.
Compared to polyester slings, UHMWPE slings have lower elongation, enhancing lifting precision. They are also about 75% of the diameter of polyester slings and weigh more than half as much. Using HMPE Endless Round Slings improves lifting reliability and safety. Their light weight and ease of use make installation at the ideal lifting point simpler, further enhancing safety and preventing damage to lifted objects.
Additionally, the smooth surface of UHMWPE slings reduces the risk of injury to operators and avoids work accidents.
