Delta HMPE Round Sling 5000

Crossing the 50,000 lb vertical threshold, the Delta HMPE Round Sling 5000 from HMPE Warehouse enters heavy-duty lifting territory typically dominated by wire rope and chain assemblies. With a basket hitch WLL of 100,000 lbs, this sling provides the capacity needed for large structural members, heavy machinery, and oversized industrial components — yet it weighs just 1.13 lbs per foot.

The performance comes from a densely packed core of UHMWPE fibers, which offer one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any commercially available material. These fibers are encased in a rugged polyester tubular cover that resists abrasion, snagging, and chemical contact encountered in harsh work environments such as petrochemical facilities, offshore platforms, and heavy fabrication shops.

The 4-inch body width distributes bearing pressure across a wider contact area, which is especially important when lifting loads with sharp edges or narrow bearing surfaces. For operations where every pound of rigging equipment impacts crane capacity and crew handling, the Delta HMPE Round Sling 5000 offers a compelling advantage over traditional hardware.

Working Load Limits (WLL)

• Vertical WLL: 50,000 lbs / 22.68 Metric Tonnes (5:1 safety factor)
• Choker WLL: 40,000 lbs / 18.14 Metric Tonnes (5:1 safety factor)
• Basket WLL: 100,000 lbs / 45.36 Metric Tonnes (5:1 safety factor)
• Basket WLL (60°): 86,600 lbs (5:1 safety factor)
• Basket WLL (45°): 70,700 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.
