Liftking 20,000kg Endless Round Sling, 1.5m to 10m EWL
The Liftking 20,000kg / 20 tonne endless round sling is a very high capacity polyester lifting sling built for demanding heavy lift, crane and rigging operations. With a 20,000kg working load limit and 7:1 factor of safety, it is designed for specialist lifting contractors, offshore operators, civil engineering teams and heavy industrial users.
This 20 tonne round sling is manufactured from 100% polyester and colour coded orange for quick WLL identification on site. Despite its very high lifting capacity, it remains more flexible and easier to handle than many chain sling alternatives, helping improve rigging efficiency on complex heavy lifts. 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 20 Tonne Round Sling
This 20,000kg endless round sling is suited to large structural steel assemblies, heavy plant, major fabricated components, offshore equipment, crane operations and specialist heavy lift projects. It is intended for demanding applications where high working load capacity, load protection and safe handling are essential.
Typical applications include heavy crane lifts, large machinery movement, civil engineering projects, industrial installations, offshore lifting and handling major steel fabrications. The soft protective sleeve helps reduce surface marking when correctly selected and used with suitable edge protection.
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 planned lifts where the load is balanced, supported and the sling angle is suitable.
Choke Hitch
Can reduce the effective working load limit. Always refer to the sling label, hitch factor and lifting plan before use.
LOLER Inspection and Safe Use
As a lifting accessory, this round sling should be thoroughly examined by a competent person every 6 months under LOLER, unless a written scheme of examination specifies otherwise. A pre-use visual inspection should also be carried out before every lift.
Check for cuts, tears, abrasion, damaged stitching, chemical contamination, heat damage, missing or illegible labels, exposed core fibres, fibre damage or any sign of overload. Do not use the sling on sharp edges or abrasive surfaces without suitable protection. Heavy lifting operations should always be planned and carried out by competent personnel.
