Lifting Slings Guide
At MAXA Group, we supply lifting slings that support the safe handling of plant and materials during loading and positioning, designed to work with winches, cranes and other lifting points as part of a controlled lift.
Our range includes duplex slings for heavier applications, single-loop slings for lighter loads, and protective sleeves to reduce wear and extend sling life. Slings are colour-coded by rated capacity, helping you identify the right sling for the load at a glance.
Use slings alongside our wider loading equipment range, including electric and hand winches, for a complete lifting and loading setup. Lifting equipment should be visually checked before every use and formally inspected in line with your organisation's safety procedures. All parts are held in UK stock for fast delivery.
Lifting Slings FAQs
What is a duplex lifting sling?
A duplex sling has two legs rather than a single loop, spreading the load across two lifting points for greater stability with heavier or awkward loads.
What does the colour of a lifting sling mean?
Lifting slings are typically colour-coded to indicate their rated capacity, making it easier to identify the correct sling for a given load. Always confirm the rating marked on the sling itself before use.
When should a lifting sling be taken out of use?
A sling should be withdrawn from use if it shows cuts, fraying, chemical damage, or if labelling showing its safe working load is missing or illegible.
Do lifting slings need regular inspection?
Yes. Slings should be visually checked before each use, and lifting equipment generally requires periodic thorough examination in line with workplace lifting equipment regulations.
What are sling protectors used for?
Sling protectors guard against abrasion and cutting at sharp edges or corners, helping extend the working life of the sling.
