Delta HMPE Round Sling 2000

When the job calls for serious lifting capacity without the weight penalty of steel rigging, the Delta HMPE Round Sling 2000 delivers. With a vertical working load limit of 20,000 lbs and a basket hitch rating of 40,000 lbs, this sling handles substantial loads across demanding industrial and construction settings.

The secret to its performance is a core made from ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) — a synthetic fiber that outperforms steel on a strength-per-pound basis. A tough polyester jacket shields the load-bearing core from jobsite hazards including abrasion, sharp edges, and UV exposure, extending the sling's useful service life.

Because the sling is soft and flexible, it conforms to the shape of the load rather than concentrating force at narrow contact points. This makes it a preferred choice for lifting machinery, fabricated steel, vessels, and other items where surface protection matters as much as capacity.

Working Load Limits (WLL)

• Vertical WLL: 20,000 lbs / 9.06 Metric Tonnes (5:1 safety factor)
• Choker WLL: 16,000 lbs / 7.26 Metric Tonnes (5:1 safety factor)
• Basket WLL: 40,000 lbs / 18.14 Metric Tonnes (5:1 safety factor)

All ratings are based on a 5:1 design factor, ensuring the minimum break strength sits well above the stated working load — providing the safety margin required for professional rigging operations and regulatory compliance.

The Delta HMPE Round Sling 2000 fits seamlessly into multi-sling lift plans and pairs well with shackles, hooks, and spreader beams. It's part of a full Delta HMPE product line spanning multiple tonnage classes for complete rigging flexibility.
