Designed for demanding professional lifting operations, this 8 tonne endless webbing sling combines high load capacity with flexibility and easy handling.

Its blue colour identifies the 8 tonne capacity class, while the 240 mm width provides a broad contact surface for large and heavy loads. The 8 t / 240 mm / blue specification is consistent with EN 1492-1 polyester webbing sling configurations.

Typical applications include:

• Marine engines
• Large generators
• Gearboxes
• Pumps and machinery
• Deck equipment
• Heavy spare parts
• Steel components
• Yacht refit equipment
• Workshop machinery

Extra-Wide 240 mm Webbing

The 240 mm width distributes pressure over a larger area of the load, making the sling particularly useful when handling heavy or valuable equipment.

The polyester webbing is flexible and suitable for many painted, coated and finished surfaces where harder lifting equipment could create concentrated contact points.

Always use suitable protection when lifting around sharp, rough or abrasive edges.

Endless Design

The sling forms a continuous closed loop without fixed lifting eyes.

This allows the sling to be rotated periodically so that the same area is not always subjected to contact with the hook or load, helping distribute normal wear more evenly.

Its flexible construction also makes it easier to position around loads of different dimensions and shapes.

Ideal for Marine & Shipyard Applications

The combination of 8 tonne lifting capacity, wide webbing and flexible construction makes this sling particularly suitable for:

• Shipyards
• Boatyards
• Yacht refit facilities
• Marinas
• Marine engineering workshops
• Engine rooms
• Yacht maintenance operations
• Industrial workshops

It is an excellent choice for professional lifting operations where both high capacity and controlled load handling are required.

Working Load Limits

These capacities correspond to the EN 1492-1 load factors for an 8 tonne endless polyester webbing sling.

Important: The permitted load depends on the lifting configuration, sling angle, centre of gravity, load geometry and attachment points.
