Webbing slings and round slings in 1 T, 2 T and 3 T working-load capacities for crane lifts and rigging operations are in stock at Multi Trade Combines, Guwahati, price on request.
Synthetic lifting slings — both flat webbing-type and tubular round-type — have replaced older wire-rope and chain rigging for many standard crane and hoist lifts in modern industrial practice. The polyester fibre construction gives a high strength-to-weight ratio, chemical resistance and excellent shock-absorption characteristics. Unlike wire rope, a webbing or round sling cannot create point-load damage on the lifted load's surface, which matters when moving finished machinery, stone blocks or vessel sections.
Multi Trade Combines stocks both types in 1 T, 2 T and 3 T rated working loads, with single-fall, double-fall and endless configurations. Colour coding follows the EN standard: violet for 1 T, green for 2 T, yellow for 3 T — making load rating identification immediate on any rigging job site without needing to read labels.
Hydro and power project contractors in Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim use synthetic slings to rig generator stators, transformer sections and penstock flanges where crane access is limited and load surfaces must not be scratched. Tea machinery installation engineers in Assam's estates use round slings to lift CTC roller sections and withering troughs during annual maintenance shutdowns. Guwahati's heavy fabrication workshops that manufacture pressure vessels and tanks use webbing slings as standard rigging consumables when turning or positioning weldments under overhead cranes.
Pair webbing slings with shackles and swivel hooks for rigging configurations. Multi Trade Combines stocks chain pulley blocks, electric chain hoists, lever hoists and wire rope slings in the same Lifting & Handling range for a complete rigging toolkit. For safe-working-load calculations on multi-leg lifts, our team can advise on the de-rating factor that applies to angled sling configurations.

More from our Lifting & Handling range
Round slings, which consist of a continuous polyester loop inside a tubular protective cover, distribute load over a larger contact area and are gentler on polished or painted surfaces — ideal for lifting precision machinery, stainless equipment and stone. Webbing slings are flat, which makes them easier to inspect visually for damage and simpler to store. For general construction and machinery rigging in Northeast India, webbing slings are most common; round slings are preferred in manufacturing facilities and for lifting finished products that must arrive without surface marks.
Both webbing and round slings should be retired based on condition inspection at each use rather than a fixed calendar interval, per IS 11173 and EN 1492 guidance. However, UV degradation in tropical climates accelerates fibre degradation, so slings stored outdoors or used under direct sunlight in Assam's summers should be inspected more frequently. Any sling showing cuts, excessive abrasion, distorted fittings, or load-bearing yarns through the cover must be taken out of service immediately and destroyed to prevent reuse.
