Delta HMPE Round Sling 12500

The Delta HMPE Round Sling 12500 from HMPE Warehouse is engineered for the upper tier of heavy-lift operations, providing a vertical WLL of 125,000 lbs and basket hitch capacity of 250,000 lbs. These are ratings that typically require massive wire rope assemblies weighing hundreds of pounds — yet this HMPE sling achieves them at just 2.50 lbs per foot.

That weight differential can be the deciding factor in whether a lift stays within crane chart limits or requires upsizing to a larger, more expensive crane. The sling's UHMWPE fiber core is inherently resistant to creep under sustained loading, making it suitable for extended-duration lifts where the load must remain suspended for installation or positioning.

The polyester outer cover provides abrasion resistance and UV protection, while the 5-inch body width ensures generous load contact that prevents point loading on sensitive surfaces. Ideal for nuclear plant maintenance, LNG facility construction, large-diameter pipe handling, and topsides module installation, the Delta HMPE Round Sling 12500 delivers the capacity of heavy steel rigging with the handling characteristics of a textile sling.

Working Load Limits (WLL)

• Vertical WLL: 125,000 lbs / 56.70 Metric Tonnes (5:1 safety factor)
• Choker WLL: 100,000 lbs / 45.36 Metric Tonnes (5:1 safety factor)
• Basket WLL: 250,000 lbs / 113.40 Metric Tonnes (5:1 safety factor)
• Basket WLL (60°): 216,500 lbs (5:1 safety factor)
• Basket WLL (45°): 176,750 lbs (5:1 safety factor)

Every rating carries a 5:1 design factor, meaning the sling's minimum break strength is five times the stated working load limit — a critical margin of safety for repetitive lifting operations.
