Delta HMPE Round Sling 7000

Stepping up to 70,000 lbs of vertical lifting capacity, the Delta HMPE Round Sling 7000 from HMPE Warehouse serves heavy-lift specialists working on projects where conventional rigging simply weighs too much for practical use. In a basket hitch, this sling reaches 140,000 lbs — enough to handle massive structural assemblies, transformers, generators, and other critical infrastructure components.

Despite these ratings, the sling weighs only 1.38 lbs per foot, making it vastly more manageable than the wire rope or chain slings it replaces. This weight savings compounds across multi-sling lifts, freeing up crane capacity that would otherwise be consumed by the rigging hardware itself.

The UHMWPE core fibers deliver tensile strength comparable to steel at a fraction of the weight, and they naturally resist rot, moisture uptake, and chemical degradation. The polyester outer cover takes the brunt of surface wear, protecting the structural core and giving inspectors a visible indicator of sling condition. The Delta HMPE Round Sling 7000 is the right tool for major construction projects, energy sector installations, and heavy industrial maintenance.

Working Load Limits (WLL)

• Vertical WLL: 70,000 lbs / 31.75 Metric Tonnes (5:1 safety factor)
• Choker WLL: 56,000 lbs / 25.40 Metric Tonnes (5:1 safety factor)
• Basket WLL: 140,000 lbs / 63.50 Metric Tonnes (5:1 safety factor)
• Basket WLL (60°): 121,240 lbs (5:1 safety factor)
• Basket WLL (45°): 98,980 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.
