2-Ply Lifting Straps Webbing Sling 2-Pack - Heavy Duty Tree Saver

In this review the reviewer tested the 2-Ply Lifting Straps 2-pack and found them best suited for people who need a reliable, heavy-duty web sling for lifting, towing, or tree-saver use. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a true WSTDA 5:1 safety factor and high working loads that let you secure or lift heavy items with confidence. The straps are made of 100% polyester with low stretch, which proved helpful in hoisting tasks and when used in a block-and-tackle setup.

Key Features

• Versatile lifting straps: Suitable for moving furniture, securing loads, hoisting equipment, and acting as a tree saver or kayak hoist in different rigging setups.
• 100% polyester construction: Offers less stretch than nylon (under 5% elongation), keeping loads steadier during lifts and reducing bounce.
• 2-ply heavy duty build: The double-layer webbing increases durability and abrasion resistance for repeated industrial or outdoor use.
• High working loads: Rated for a 6200 lb vertical load, 4900 lb choker hitch, and 12,400 lb basket hitch, covering a wide range of lifting needs.
• WSTDA 5:1 safety factor: Designed with a five-times break strength margin to provide a large safety buffer for high-risk lifting tasks.
• Various widths and lengths: Available in multiple sizes so users can pick a sling width and length that matches load dimensions and bearing requirements.

Who It's For

These straps are well suited to contractors, arborists, movers, and DIYers who need reliable webbing for hoisting, towing, or protecting trees during rigging. The low-stretch polyester and high working load numbers make them a practical choice for repeated heavy lifts and pulley systems.

People who need a soft sling alternative to chain, or who prioritize a high safety factor for overhead or rigging work, will appreciate these straps. Those who require specialty certified slings for crane-lift certified jobs or who need detailed manufacturing traceability should verify compliance with project specs before purchase.
