Safe lifting of engines, generators, machinery and heavy marine equipment requires lifting gear that provides strength without making handling unnecessarily difficult.

The 1 Ply Flat PES Webbing Sling, Endless Red 150mm, 5tons combines a high 5 tonne lifting capacity with the flexibility and low weight of polyester webbing.

Unlike lifting chains or wire ropes, the flat polyester construction is easy to handle and provides a wider, softer contact area against the load. This makes it particularly useful when lifting equipment with painted, coated, machined or otherwise sensitive surfaces.

The sling is suitable for demanding professional lifting operations in yacht yards, shipyards, marinas, workshops and marine maintenance facilities.

5,000 kg Working Load Limit

In a straight vertical lifting configuration, the sling has a Working Load Limit of 5,000 kg / 5 tonnes.

This makes it suitable for handling a wide range of heavy equipment commonly found in marine and industrial environments, including:

• Marine engines
• Generators
• Pumps
• Gearboxes
• Deck machinery
• Heavy spare parts
• Mechanical equipment
• Steel components
• Workshop machinery
• Equipment used during yacht refit and maintenance

The permitted load always depends on the lifting configuration, sling angle, centre of gravity and correct positioning of the load.

Extra-Wide 150 mm Webbing

With a width of 150 mm, the sling creates a large contact area between the webbing and the load.

A wider bearing surface helps distribute pressure over a greater area and reduces concentrated loading on the contact point.

This is particularly important when handling valuable marine equipment or components with:

• Painted surfaces
• Protective coatings
• Finished metal surfaces
• Machined components
• Sensitive equipment
• Large or irregular load surfaces

Compared with many metal lifting systems, polyester webbing is also less likely to mark compatible surfaces during correct use.

Suitable edge protection must always be used when the sling comes into contact with sharp or abrasive edges.

Endless Construction for Flexible Positioning

The sling is manufactured as a continuous endless loop, without fixed lifting eyes.

This design provides excellent versatility because the contact area between the sling, load and lifting hook can be changed.

By periodically rotating the sling, the same section does not have to carry the load during every lifting operation. This can help distribute normal wear more evenly along the sling.

The endless construction also allows the sling to adapt easily to different load shapes and approved lifting arrangements.

Ideal for Shipyards, Boatyards and Marine Workshops

Marine maintenance and yacht refit work often involves moving heavy equipment in restricted spaces.

Engines, generators, pumps, machinery and deck equipment may need to be removed, repositioned or installed where access is limited.

The flexibility of polyester webbing makes this sling particularly practical for these environments.

Recommended applications include:

• Shipyards
• Boatyards
• Yacht repair facilities
• Yacht refit projects
• Marinas
• Marine workshops
• Engine rooms
• Technical service facilities
• Industrial workshops
• Professional material handling

Its combination of high lifting capacity, flexibility and easy handling makes it a useful part of professional yacht and marine lifting equipment.

Working Load Limits

The lifting capacity changes depending on how the sling is connected to the load.

Important: The maximum permitted load must always be calculated according to the actual lifting configuration. Sling angles, load shape, centre of gravity, attachment points and the condition of all lifting equipment must be considered before every lift.

Why Choose a Polyester Webbing Sling?

Polyester lifting slings offer several advantages for professional marine and industrial lifting operations.

Lightweight and Easy to Handle

Despite its 5 tonne Working Load Limit, the polyester construction makes the sling easy to carry, position and store.

This is particularly useful when lifting equipment inside engine rooms or other areas where space is limited.

Flexible Around the Load

The webbing follows the shape of the load more easily than many rigid lifting systems, simplifying positioning around machinery and irregular components.

Better Load Surface Protection

The flat 150 mm surface distributes contact pressure over a wider area.

For suitable loads, this can help protect painted, coated and finished surfaces from marks that may occur with harder lifting equipment.

Compact Storage

When not in use, the sling requires relatively little storage space, making it practical for workshops, service vehicles and professional marine facilities.

Easy Capacity Identification

The red colour identifies the 5 tonne capacity class used for this type of polyester lifting sling, helping operators quickly distinguish it from slings with different load ratings.

Built for Professional Marine Applications

When servicing or refitting a yacht, reliable lifting equipment can make difficult handling operations considerably easier.

A powerful engine, generator or pump may weigh several tonnes while also requiring careful handling to avoid damage to the component or surrounding surfaces.

The 150 mm wide polyester webbing provides a strong yet flexible connection between the load and lifting equipment, making it particularly useful for professional marine applications where both lifting capacity and controlled handling are important.

From routine workshop operations to major yacht refit projects, this 5 tonne endless sling provides a practical lifting solution for demanding working environments.

Inspection and Safe Use

Always inspect the complete sling before every lifting operation.

Check carefully for:

• Cuts
• Tears
• Abrasion
• Damaged fibres
• Damaged stitching
• Heat damage
• Chemical damage
• Excessive wear
• Deformation
• Damage to the identification label

Do not use the sling if its identification label is missing or unreadable.

During lifting:

• Never exceed the permitted Working Load Limit.
• Never tie knots in the sling.
• Avoid twisting the sling.
• Never allow unprotected webbing to run over sharp edges.
• Use appropriate edge protection where required.
• Ensure lifting hooks and shackles are suitable for the sling.
• Check the load’s centre of gravity before lifting.
• Make sure the load is stable and properly supported.
• Avoid shock loading.
• Never use the sling for lifting people.

Lifting operations should always be carried out by competent personnel using the correct lifting procedure and appropriate certified equipment.
