Liftking 10,000kg Endless Round Sling, 1m to 10m EWL

The Liftking 10,000kg / 10 tonne endless round sling is a high capacity polyester lifting sling designed for heavy industrial crane lifts, civil engineering projects and large-scale plant and machinery installations. With a 10,000kg working load limit and 7:1 factor of safety, it is suited to specialist lifting contractors, crane operators and heavy engineering teams.

This 10 tonne round sling is manufactured from 100% polyester and colour coded orange for quick WLL identification on site. Despite its substantial capacity, it remains flexible and manageable compared with many chain sling alternatives, helping reduce handling effort and rigging time. Each sling is manufactured to EN1492-2:2000, certified to TUV and GS standard, and supplied with a certificate of conformity.

Common Uses for a 10 Tonne Round Sling

This 10,000kg endless round sling is suitable for heavy industrial lifting, crane operations, large machinery installation, structural steel handling, civil engineering work and heavy fabricated assemblies. It is designed for demanding applications where load protection and ease of handling are important.

Typical applications include lifting heavy plant, positioning large steel components, machinery relocation, industrial installation work and large construction lifting projects. The soft protective sleeve helps reduce surface marking when the sling is correctly selected and protected from sharp edges.

How to Measure an Endless Round Sling

Endless round slings are measured by their Effective Working Length, also known as EWL. This is the usable length of the sling when it is laid flat and measured from one end to the other, as shown in the diagram.

The full circumference of an endless round sling is approximately double the EWL. For example, a 2m EWL round sling has an approximate full circumference of 4m.

When choosing the correct length, consider the size and shape of the load, the lifting points, the hook size, the hitch type and the required lifting angle. The sling should sit correctly around the load without being twisted, bunched or forced over sharp edges.

Always select the correct EWL for the lifting method being used and refer to the sling label, lift plan and load chart before use.

Lifting Hitches and Capacity Guidance

Straight Lift

Suitable for vertical lifting up to the rated WLL shown on the sling label.

Basket Hitch

Can be used for properly supported lifts where the load is balanced and the sling angle is suitable.

Choke Hitch

Can reduce the effective lifting capacity. Always refer to the sling label, hitch factor and lifting plan before use.

LOLER Inspection and Safe Use

Under LOLER, lifting accessories such as round slings should be thoroughly examined by a competent person every 6 months, unless a written examination scheme specifies a different period. A pre-use inspection should also be completed before each lift.

Check the sling for cuts, abrasion, damaged stitching, heat damage, chemical contamination, missing or illegible labels, exposed core fibres, knots, crushed areas, pulled fibres or any signs of overload. Suitable edge protection must be used when lifting loads with sharp corners or abrasive contact points.
