Endless nylon slings are some of the most versatile of all lifting slings because they can be used in the three common hitches: vertical, basket or choker. Also called endless flat nylon slings or type 5 lifting slings, these continuous loop slings are formed by joining the ends of the webbing together with a load bearing splice. Nylon endless slings are an economical choice because the design allows the user to move the contact area with each use which decreases wear and tear on the sling. The endless nylon sling capacity will vary with the number of plys (from 1 through 4), and with the type of hitch used in the lift.
