Delta HMPE 5/16" Endless Sling

Delta HMPE Endless Sling – 5/16" Diameter | 12-Strand UHMWPE Continuous Loop Sling

The Delta HMPE Endless Sling from HMPE Warehouse is built from our 12-strand Delta HMPE® UHMWPE rope and spliced into a continuous loop, creating a versatile sling that adapts to choker, vertical, and basket hitch configurations without exposed ends or hardware.

Weighing just one-seventh of a comparable wire rope sling, it dramatically reduces crew fatigue and frees up more crane capacity for the actual load. UHMWPE fiber delivers elongation characteristics similar to wire rope for predictable load behavior, but without the lubricants, corrosion, or stiffness that make wire rope difficult to handle.

The sling is neutrally buoyant and does not absorb water, so rated capacity stays the same whether used dry or fully submerged — making it ideal for diving operations, marine salvage, offshore construction, and oil and gas applications. The braided construction also makes inspection straightforward, with full visibility of fiber condition along the entire sling body.

All sling diameters have been validated through destruction testing, ensuring every working load limit is backed by verified break strength data. Available in multiple diameters and lengths, the Delta HMPE Endless Sling delivers wire-rope-class performance in a lighter, cleaner, and easier-to-handle package.
