Jergens introduces a range of slings to complement its lifting solution products, providing flexibility in many load lift and move applications. Made from either nylon or polyester, endless and eye and eye styles are available in a choice of ply’s, widths, and lengths. Slings can also be applied to applications where hoist rings or chains may not be able to be used.
Jergens endless slings form a continuous loop and are well suited for multiple configurations including choker, vertical, and basket hitch with a benefit of increased stability. Additionally, these slings provide versatility and broader weight distribution for more even wear across the sling, increasing the lifespan. Eye and eye slings also perform well in these applications while offering a secure stable connection, with twist eye versions further enhancing grip and performance in choker applications.
“We’re seeing more and more applications managed with slings over traditional chains due to the ease of use of the flexible and very light-weight material”, said Chris Spada, Jergens LSG & SFG Technical Sales/Product Manager. “Adding the slings line has been a natural complement to our numerous other lifting products, allowing Jergens to provide more solutions to our many existing customers”, continued Spada. Slings also come with an economical advantage compared to its chain counterpart.
Sling material and construction determine things like capacity, wear, and lifespan. For Jergens, that means made in the U.S.A. in accordance with ASME B30.9. Additionally, they are tested to a 5:1 factor of safety with temperature ratings from -40°F (-40°C) to 194°F (90°C). Certificates of Conformance are also available upon request. Jergens provides sling load charts for proper use and environmental data to help customers choose the correct material for exposure to a range of different chemicals. Logical nomenclature makes spec and ordering easy.
