What is a round sling and how does it differ from a flat webbing sling?
A round sling is a continuous loop of high-tenacity polyester fibres encased in a protective, non-load-bearing cover. Unlike flat webbing slings, its endless design allows for continuous rotation of contact points, potentially extending its lifespan, and its inherent flexibility makes it ideal for conforming to curved or irregular loads without causing damage.

What does '2 Tonne' mean for this round sling?
The '2 Tonne' (or 2000kg) refers to the Working Load Limit (WLL) of the sling when used in a vertical hitch. This is the maximum load that the sling is designed to safely lift under general conditions of use. The capacity can vary depending on the hitch configuration (e.g., choker or basket hitch).

Is this round sling compliant with Australian safety standards?
Yes, this 2 Tonne Round Sling is manufactured to conform with Australian Standard AS 4497.1, which specifies requirements for synthetic fibre round slings. It also implies adherence to AS 4497.2 for care and use guidelines.

What is the significance of the green colour of this sling?
In Australia, lifting slings are colour-coded according to their Working Load Limit (WLL) for quick and easy identification. A green colour indicates a 2-tonne (2000kg) capacity for both round and flat webbing slings, making it a widely recognised safety feature in industrial environments.

How should I inspect and maintain this round sling?
Prior to each use, a thorough visual and tactile inspection should be conducted to check for any damage, cuts, snags, or exposure of the internal core fibres. Slings should be protected from sharp edges, extreme temperatures, chemicals, and UV light. Any damaged sling must be immediately removed from service. Always refer to AS 4497.2 for comprehensive care and use recommendations.
