Dyneema Slings

Dyneema® Lifting Slings: Lightweight Strength for Heavy Lifts

Dyneema® lifting slings are the next generation in lifting technology, combining unparalleled strength with a remarkably lightweight design. Built from ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers, Dyneema® slings provide a high-capacity lifting solution that’s light enough for easy handling and strong enough to replace traditional heavy lifting chains. Unlike standard polyester synthetic slings, round slings can usually be repaired as long as the fibers stay intact. Known for their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, these slings are becoming the top choice across industries, from automotive manufacturing to construction.

Why Choose Dyneema® Lifting Slings?

• Unmatched Strength: Dyneema® slings boast the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any synthetic fiber, meaning they can lift massive loads while remaining up to 15 times stronger than steel at the same weight.

• Incredibly Lightweight: Weighing a fraction of traditional chain or wire rope slings, Dyneema® slings are easy to carry, set up, and operate, reducing strain on workers and making high-capacity lifts more manageable.

•High Capacity: With load ratings up to hundreds of tons, Dyneema® slings provide the heavy-duty capacity needed for demanding lifts without the bulk and weight of chains, allowing cranes and lifting equipment to operate more efficiently.

•Cut-Resistant and Abrasion-Resistant: Dyneema® fibers are highly resistant to cuts, abrasion, and chemicals, making these slings durable even in the toughest conditions. They excel in handling rough surfaces, which helps extend the sling’s life in challenging industrial environments.

• Additional Protection with Cover Sleeves: For enhanced durability, optional cover sleeves are available to help protect the slings from abrasive surfaces and environmental wear, extending the life of your investment for long-term reliability.

• Ideal for Die Flipping and Manufacturing Applications: In automotive and heavy manufacturing industries, Dyneema® slings have quickly become the preferred choice for flipping dies and other large objects. Their light weight and flexibility make it easy to maneuver dies safely and efficiently without the risk of damaging the load or the lifting equipment.

• Repair & Servicing: National Industrial Supply (NIS) provides specialized repairs for Dyneema® lifting slings, including sewing and patching of protective jackets and sleeves to extend their durability. Once a Dyneema® sling passes inspection and the internal core yarns are confirmed to be in safe working condition, our team restores the outer layers to ensure reliable, long-term performance. We also offer individual leg matching and replacement to maximize your sling’s usability. After repairs, each sling undergoes rigorous load testing at 125% of its rated capacity, ensuring it’s fully prepared for demanding applications.

•Quickly Replacing Traditional Chains: With greater flexibility, reduced weight, and lower risk of damaging loads, Dyneema® slings are fast becoming the standard replacement for traditional chains in lifting applications. Their advanced design allows for smooth operation, fewer adjustments, and faster lifts, saving time and improving productivity.

Key Benefits of Dyneema® Slings

• Enhanced Safety: The lightweight design and easy handling minimize the risk of injuries from lifting and setting up heavy chains, and the slings’ flexibility and strength reduce the risk of accidents during lifting.

• Long-Term Durability: Withstanding exposure to chemicals, UV rays, and extreme temperatures, Dyneema® slings are built to last, even in harsh industrial conditions.

• Low Maintenance: Unlike chains that require regular lubrication and inspections, Dyneema® slings are low-maintenance, making them a more cost-effective, time-saving option in the long term.

• Versatile Use: Dyneema® slings adapt to various lifting applications across industries, from rigging in construction and maritime projects to precise maneuvers in manufacturing settings.

Applications of Dyneema® Lifting Slings

Dyneema® lifting slings are ideal for a variety of applications, including:

• Automotive and Manufacturing: Flipping dies, transporting heavy equipment, and safely handling precision parts.

• Construction: Lifting and placing structural components without risking scratches, dents, or surface damage.

• Maritime & Offshore: Moving anchors, heavy ropes, and other materials while withstanding challenging saltwater and chemical exposure.

• Aerospace: Precise handling of aircraft components, including delicate materials and parts, with minimal risk of damage.
