Black Spanset Round Slings 2-Pack 5300lb for Aerial Rigging - Durable

Our review of the Black Spanset Round Slings 2-Pack finds these slings best suited to aerialists, rigging technicians, and venue crews who need a compact, discreet, and highly durable loop for suspension. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a high safe working load and a rugged double-wall polyester jacket that resists abrasion when rigged over steel or beams. These slings are straightforward to use, connect directly to carabiners or shackles, and blend into dark stage settings while delivering a dependable 2 tonne working capacity.

Key Features

• Safe working load: The slings carry a 2 tonne rated capacity, offering strong, repeatable load performance for lifting and aerial rigging.
• Double-wall jacket: The tubular polyester jacket protects the core yarns from friction and wear, extending service life when used over steel or beams.
• Endless loop construction: The continuous polyester loop allows direct connection to carabiners, shackles, quick links, anchors, or beams without extra hardware.
• Lightweight and compact: Despite the high rating, the polyester construction is light and easy to pack for touring or transporting between venues.
• Multiple use cases: Suitable for aerial hoop, aerial silks, hammocks, stage suspension, and tree limb or beam rigging where a discreet black sling is preferred.
• Clear usable length: Lengths are specified as maximum usable length (EWL), so users know how much sling they will have when folded flat for rigging.

Who It's For

The Black Spanset Round Slings are aimed at aerial performers, riggers, and event technicians who require a robust, rated sling that tucks into dark scenery and stands up to abrasion. The 2 tonne safe working load and 7:1 safety factor make them appropriate for most theatrical and aerial installations when used with correct hardware and techniques.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers who need an ultra-light climbing-specific sling with a different certification or users who require color-coded slings for load indication; these are black and designed primarily for theatrical and industrial rigging contexts rather than decorative color-coding.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High rated capacity with a practical safety factor, making it reliable for rigging over steel and beams.
• Durable double-wall polyester jacket that resists abrasion and conforms to the load for a secure grip.
• Versatile endless loop design that connects directly to carabiners, shackles, and anchors without extra slings.
• Discrete black color that blends into stage and outdoor environments.

Cons

• Heavier and bulkier than some lightweight sling loops, which may matter for minimal-weight packing.
• Only available in black, so not suitable where color-coded slings are required for on-site load management.
