In addition to the classic lifting straps, lifting rope is also available Used as a partner for heavy loads. Lighter, more flexible, and less cumbersome than traditional round slings. The advantages of a lifting rope or rope construction over round slings and lifting straps:
- Better resistance to abrasion and sharp edges - A lifting rope is more resistant to wear and tear due to friction. Lifting straps are more easily damaged by sharp edges or rough surfaces, while rope has more resilience.
- More flexible and knot-resistant - Lifting ropes are flexible and conform well to the load
- Hook attachment - Round slings and lifting straps require specific attachment points. A lifting rope is equipped with a safety hook.
- Less stretch - Lifting ropes generally have less stretch than lifting straps. This ensures greater control, more stable lifting movements, and more precise positioning.
-
Better grip - Due to the fiber structure of a rope, it often has more friction and is less likely to slip. Lifting straps are flat and smoother, making them more prone to slipping on certain surfaces.
- Versatile - A lifting rope can be used for lifting, towing, lashing, securing, and outdoor applications such as scouting or in maritime settings.
Round slings or lifting straps are preferred for:
- A certified lifting solution with clear WLL values
- Sensitive surfaces to the load - tires are softer
- Very high tonnages
