Blue 24ft Endless Round Lifting Sling Spanset Heavy Duty Polyester

In this review of the Blue 24' Endless Round Lifting Sling, the bottom line is clear: this is a workhorse sling for riggers and material handlers who need high rated capacity and a soft, durable jacket. Built to meet or exceed OSHA and ASME B30.9 standards, it offers a useful balance of strength and pliability that makes it ideal for frequent lifts where load protection and UV resistance matter. The review focuses on real-world handling, durability, and the rated capacities that teams use to plan lifts safely.

Key Features

• Rated capacities: Clearly color coded capacities make it easy to pick the correct sling, with Vertical 21,200 lbs, Choker 17,000 lbs and Basket 42,400 lbs for a wide range of lifts.
• Heavy duty jacket: The thick outer jacket protects the inner lifting yarns from debris and ultraviolet rays, extending service life in outdoor or abrasive environments.
• Soft pliable construction: The flexible jacket allows positive load gripping without crushing or distorting delicate or finished surfaces on a load.
• Endless round design: The continuous 24' loop provides multiple hitch options and smooth load transitions for rigging versatility.
• Standards compliance: Built to meet or exceed applicable OSHA and ASME B30.9 standards, giving confidence for industrial use and inspections.

Who It's For

This sling is aimed at industrial rigging crews, construction crews, and material handling teams that need a high-capacity synthetic sling with a soft contact surface. The 24' endless length and 1.75 in body diameter suit multi-leg hitches, basket and choker configurations where protecting the load surface is important.

Operators who primarily need lightweight, low-profile slings for occasional light lifts, or those requiring specialized coatings or extremely compact slings, may want to consider alternate products. For corrosive chemical environments or very high heat, a metal chain sling might be preferable.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High rated capacities for vertical, choker, and basket hitches provide clear lifting margins for many industrial tasks.
• The soft, pliable jacket improves load contact and reduces the chance of surface damage during lift placement.
• Durable, thick jacket resists UV and debris, which customers reported as contributing to long-term strength and reliability.

Cons

• The 24' endless loop and 1.75 in body diameter make it less convenient for very tight storage or compact toolboxes.
• As a polyester sling, it is not suited for extreme temperatures or highly abrasive edges without additional protective sleeves.
