CHAPTER 1.0 TERMINOLOGY AND DE FINITIONS OF WEB SLINGS
Section 1.1 PURPOSE
1.1.1 This chapter provides a description of synthetic web sling types and definitions,
which apply to such slings.
Section 1.2 DESCRIPTION

1.2.1 A synthetic web sling is fabricated by sewing woven synthetic webbing of nylon or
polyester type yarns, for the purpose of hoisting, lifting, and general material
handling in basic sling types as illustrated in 1.3 “basic sling types”.
Section 1.3 BASIC SLING TYPES

1.3.1 TYPE I - Web sling made with a triangle fitting on one end and a slotted triangle
choker fitting on the other end. It can be used in a vertical, basket or choker hitch.
(See figure 1)
Figure 1
1.3.2 TYPE II - Web sling made with a triangle fitting on both ends. It can be used in a
vertical or basket hitch only. (See figure 2)
Figure 2
1.3.3 TYPE III - Web sling made with a flat loop eye on each end with loop eye opening
on same plane as sling body. This type of sling is sometimes called a flat eye and
eye, eye and eye, or double eye sling. (See figure 3)
Figure 3
1.3.4 TYPE IV - Web Sling made with both loop eyes formed as in Type III, except that
the loop eyes are turned to form a loop eye, which is at a right angle to the plane of
the sling body. This type of sling is commonly referred to as a twisted eye sling.
(See figure 4)
Figure 4

1.3.5 TYPE V - Endless web sling, sometimes referred to as a grommet. It is a
continuous loop formed by joining the ends of the webbing together with a load-
bearing splice. (See figure 5)
Figure 5
1.3.6 TYPE VI - Return eye (reversed eye) web sling is formed by using multiple widths
of webbing held edge to edge. A wear pad is attached on one or both sides of the
web sling body, and on one or both sides of the loop eyes to form a loop eye at
each end, which is at a right angle to the plane of the web sling body (See figure 6)
Figure 6
Section 1.4 BRIDLE SLINGS (MULTI-LEGGED)
1.4.1 A web sling with multiple legs. (See figure 7)
Figure 7
Section 1.5 OTHER SLING TYPES
1.5.1 Other sling types are available and shall be used in accordance with web sling
manufacturer or qualified person’s recommendation.
Section 1.6 DEFINITIONS OF TERMS
Abrasion - The mechanical wearing of a surface resulting from frictional contact with other
materials.
Body - That part of a web sling which is between the end fittings or loop eyes. (See figure 8)
Figure 8
Breaking Strength - That load in pounds or kilograms at which point any load bearing part of
the sling fails.

Coating - A finish applied to the webbing for a special purpose.
Design Factor - The ratio of the breaking strength to the “rated capacity” for each new web
sling.
Designated Person - Selected or assigned by the employer or employers’ representative as being

competent to perform specific duties.
Elongation - The measurement of stretch, at a given load, expressed as a percentage of the

original unloaded length.
Fabrication Efficiency - The ratio of a web sling assembly strength to webbing strength prior to
fabrication, expressed as a percentage.
Fitting - A load-bearing device, which is attached to the web sling.
Hitch/Vertical - A method of rigging a sling in which the load is attached to the loop eye or end
fitting at one end of the sling and the loop eye or end fitting at the other end is
attached to the lifting device. (See figure 9)
Hitch/Choker - A method of rigging a sling in which the sling is passed around the load, then
through one loop eye, end fitting, or device with the other loop eye or end fitting
attached to the lifting device. This hitch can be done with a sliding choker hook or
similar device. (See figure 9)
Hitch/Vertical Basket- A method of rigging a sling in which the sling is passed around the load
and both loop eyes or end fittings are attached to the lifting device. (See figure 9)
Hitch/Angled Basket-Same as Basket Vertical hitch excep t that the attachment point of the
lifting device ( over the load ) forces an angled hitch. ( See figure 9 )
Hitch/vertical Hitch/Choker Hitch/Vertical Basket Hitch/Angled Basket
Figure 9
Figure 10
Length (reach) - The distance between the extreme and bearing points of the web sling,
including fittings if applicable. (See figure 10)

Figure 11
Loop Eye - A length of webbing which has been folded back upon itself, forming an opening,
and joined to the web sling body to form a bearing surface. (See figure 11)
Breaking Strength - Minimum load at which a new web sling or component will break when
loaded to destruction in direct tension.
Plies - The number of thicknesses of load bearing webbing used in the web sling assembly. (See
Figure 12
figure 12)
Proof Load Test - A non-destructive load test of the web sling to some multiple of the rated
capacity of that web sling, including fittings if applicable. (Usually two (2) times
the rated capacity).
Qualified Person - A person who by possession of a recognized degree or certificate of

professional standing or who by extensive knowledge, training, and experience has
successfully demonstrated the ability to solve or resolve problems related to the
subject matter and work.
Rated Capacity (Working Load Limit) - The maximum allowable load for each web sling
assembly for the type of hitch used.
Selvedge - The woven or knitted with lockstitch edge of webbing formed to prevent raveling.
Shock Loading - An unintended condition of rapid lift, sudden shifting of load, or arrest of a
falling load that causes the forces in a sling to notably exceed that which would
have occurred under normal loading conditions. This increase in force due to a
high rate of loading may be caused by inertia effects, changes in the properties of
sling members, or both.

Splice - That part of a web sling which is lapped and secured to become an integral part of the
web sling. Types of splices are as follows:
a. Load Bearing Splice - Any splice that carries a portion of the total load applied. (See figure 13)
Figure 13
b. Assembly Splice - Any splice that joins two or more parts of the sling without bearing any of
the applied load. (See figure 14)

Synthetic Web Sling - A lifting assembly made of synthetic webbing which is to be used to
connect the load to the lifting device.
Tapered Eye - A loop eye which is formed by folding the webbing to a narrower width at its
bearing point to accommodate the lifting device, a tapered eye may be either flat
(Type III) or twisted (Typ e IV). (See figure 15)
Figure 15
Thickness - The depth of the sling, as opposed to the width or length.

Thread - The synthetic yarn, which is used to sew the web sling together.
Triangle Fitting - An end attachment which is used for connecting the web sling to the lifting
device. (See figure 16)

See Section 1.3 for Basic Sling Types
Class 5 means slings made from webbing possessing a minimum certified tensile strength
of 6800 lbs. per inch of width / 121.43 kilograms per millimeter of width.
Class 7 means slings made from webbing possessing a minimum certified tensile strength
of 9800 lbs. per inch of width / 175 kilograms per millimeter of width.
NOTES:
1. For Type VI Slings - consult the manufacturer for rated capacities.
2. The choker capacity for 1 and 2 ply slings shall be rated at a maximum of 80% of
vertical capacity, with an angle of choke of 120 degrees at the point of choke.
3. Slings not included in these tables shall be used in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
4. Rated capacities for type III and IV slings apply to both tapered and non-tapered eye
constructions. Rated capacities for type V slings are based on non-tapered webbing.
Bunching of both tapered and non-tapered eye/webbing will reduce the rated capacity
of the sling.
5. When attaching any hardware to a web sling, a wear pad should be used between the
surface of the hardware and the synthetic web sling.
6. All vertical capacities are rounded per the following logic listed below. All
subsequent capacities in tables are based on the rounded vertical capacities. No
further rounding occurs.
Pounds: 0-49 = 0 Kilograms: 0-24 = 0

50-99 = 50 25-74 = 25
75-99 = 75
20

2.10.6 Rated capacities are affected by angle of lift (sling to load) measured from the
horizontal when used with multi-legged slings or choker/basket hitches. To
determine the actual sling capacity at a given angle of lift, multiply the original
sling rating by the appropriate loss factor determined from the table below.
Sling Angle Table (Angle of Lift)

2.10.8 Special Considerations for Large Hooks, Shackles, etc.
Figure 24
The ratio of the length of a loop eye, to the diameter of the object over which the
loop eye is to be placed, should be a minimum three-to-one relationship.
EXAMPLE SHOWN is if you have a hook or shackle two feet in diameter. By
using this ratio the angle of the two legs of the eye at its throat will not be so severe
as to cause a parting or tearing action at this point.
