A webbing sling, also known as a lifting sling or a web sling, is a type of rigging equipment used to lift and move heavy loads in a variety of settings, such as construction, manufacturing, and transportation. It is typically made of strong and flexible synthetic materials, such as nylon, polyester, or polypropylene, and comes in different widths, lengths, and load capacities to suit different lifting requirements.

Webbing slings consist of a flat or tubular webbing that is sewn or woven together to form a loop at each end. The loops are used to attach the sling to a lifting device, such as a crane, hoist, or forklift, and the load to be lifted is suspended from the middle of the sling. Webbing slings can be used to lift loads in a vertical, choker, or basket hitch configuration, depending on the shape and weight of the load.

Webbing slings have several advantages over other types of lifting equipment, such as wire rope or chains. They are lightweight, flexible, and easy to handle, which makes them ideal for lifting fragile or irregularly shaped loads. They are also resistant to abrasion, UV rays, and chemicals, which makes them suitable for use in harsh environments. Finally, webbing slings are more cost-effective than other lifting equipment, making them a popular choice for many applications.
