Industrial Webbing for Lifting, Securing and Handling

Webbing is a versatile component used for tie-downs, lifting slings, cargo restraints and safety harnesses. Selecting the right weave, width and material ensures performance under load and resistance to abrasion, UV and chemicals.

What to consider when choosing webbing

Identify the required working load limit and factor of safety for your application. Polyester webbing offers low stretch and good UV resistance, while nylon provides greater elasticity and shock absorption. Consider edge resistance, stitching quality and any protective sleeves for longevity in demanding conditions.

Typical applications and features

• Tie-down straps: Ratchet or cam straps with heavy-duty webbing for securing loads in transit.
• Lifting slings: Wide, stitched webbing for distributing load forces during lifting operations.
• Safety gear: Harness and restraint webbing with certified breaking strengths.

When using webbing for safety-critical tasks, always check certification and inspection records. For occasional or budget-conscious projects, clearance items and customer-returned webbing may be available—ensure they meet required safety standards before use. Proper storage away from sunlight and chemicals will help maintain strength and extend useful life.
