Delta HMPE Round Sling 2500

The Delta HMPE Round Sling 2500 from HMPE Warehouse steps into the mid-capacity range with a 25,000 lb vertical working load limit and an impressive 50,000 lb basket hitch rating. Designed for riggers and crane operators who demand both strength and handling ease, this sling replaces heavier wire rope alternatives without sacrificing performance.

Constructed with a high-tenacity UHMWPE load-bearing core encased in a woven polyester cover, the sling resists abrasion, chemical exposure, and ultraviolet breakdown — common hazards on outdoor and marine jobsites. The polyester jacket also provides a visual wear indicator: when the cover shows damage, it signals that the sling should be inspected before further use.

Weighing just 0.63 lbs per foot with a 3-inch body width, the Delta HMPE Round Sling 2500 is easy to rig, store, and transport — a practical upgrade over bulky steel slings for shipyard, refinery, and heavy construction operations.

Working Load Limits (WLL)

• Vertical WLL: 25,000 lbs / 11.34 Metric Tonnes (5:1 safety factor)
• Choker WLL: 20,000 lbs / 9.07 Metric Tonnes (5:1 safety factor)
• Basket WLL: 50,000 lbs / 22.68 Metric Tonnes (5:1 safety factor)
• Basket WLL (60°): 43,300 lbs (5:1 safety factor)
• Basket WLL (45°): 35,350 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.
