About Slings

A soft sling is a type of lifting sling made from synthetic materials and designed to lift and move heavy loads safely and efficiently. They’re a popular choice when helping to prevent scratches, dents or other damage that metal slings might cause.

Coates supplies both flat webbing slings and round slings, each with clearly marked safe working load limits and colour coded for easy identification. With multiple lengths and lifting capacities available, you can match the sling to your job with confidence.

The soft eye of the sling is made from the sling material itself (not reinforced with metal). A soft eye sling allows for easy attachment to hooks or shackles, so it’s easy to rig, lightweight to handle and compact to store — making them a convenient option for crews on the move.

Every soft sling for hire is rigorously tested and maintained to meet Australian safety standards, so you know you’re hiring reliable gear backed by industry expertise.
