Zebra flat webbing slings are manufactured from high tenacity, 100% polyester yarn. Simplex
slings is a single layered webbing. Sling ends are terminated either in reinforced loops or any
combination of metal end fittings. Manufacturer’s test certificate is provided for safe work load
along with the slings. Simplex slings are preferred because of their broad width which gives wider
support to lifts. The slings are of three types, namely simplex sling with soft eyes, simplex sling
with metal end fitting and endless sling. They normally lift loads with the sling revved around the
load (Choke hitch), or on two parts of the sling (Basket Hitch). They are tested in straight pull.
How to look after your Zebra Sling
Slings can be washed in cold water with a mild detergent.
Zebra slings are resistant to most chemicals but avoid ammonia, alkalis and strong acid.
Use anti cutting webbing sleeves at sharp contact points to get more life of your Zebra Sling.

Advantages over Steel Rope or Chain
Zebra polyester Slings are considered lighter than a metal product of comparable lifting performance
and as a consequences are both safer and easier to handle. The main safety and handling advantage
of the Zebra Slings are listed below:
Because of the suppleness of polyester, the Zebra Sling accommodates irregularities of the load,
twisted wire rope may grip in the wrong place creating imbalance
Do not weaken with age
Absorbs shocks
No corrosion - wire ropes can rust unseen from inside
Easier to inspect - if it looks all right, it is alright
Less weight means easier, quicker working, less risk of back injuries
Less weight also means cheaper transport - only 20% of the steel chain for example.
Less risk of damage to sensitive or painted surfaces
Safe in hazardous or explosive environments as there is no risk of sparking
