Delta HMPE Round Sling 6000

The Delta HMPE Round Sling 6000 from HMPE Warehouse is purpose-built for demanding heavy-lift operations where load ratings in the tens of thousands of pounds are the baseline requirement. With a 60,000 lb vertical WLL and a 120,000 lb basket hitch capacity, it handles the kind of loads found in shipbuilding, heavy civil infrastructure, large-scale plant maintenance, and offshore construction.

What sets this sling apart from conventional rigging at this capacity level is its weight. At 1.25 lbs per foot, it can be maneuvered and positioned by smaller crews, reducing the personnel and auxiliary equipment typically needed when working with heavy chain or wire rope assemblies.

The sling is constructed with a UHMWPE fiber core — known for its exceptional tensile strength, low elongation, and resistance to moisture absorption — inside a protective polyester cover that guards against abrasion, UV exposure, and incidental chemical contact. The 4-inch body width provides generous bearing surface for load protection. The Delta HMPE Round Sling 6000 is a workhorse for any operation that needs maximum lifting capacity with minimum rigging weight.

Working Load Limits (WLL)

• Vertical WLL: 60,000 lbs / 27.22 Metric Tonnes (5:1 safety factor)
• Choker WLL: 48,000 lbs / 21.77 Metric Tonnes (5:1 safety factor)
• Basket WLL: 120,000 lbs / 54.43 Metric Tonnes (5:1 safety factor)
• Basket WLL (60°): 103,920 lbs (5:1 safety factor)
• Basket WLL (45°): 84,840 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.
