Gray 24ft Endless Round Lifting Sling - 63,400 lb Capacity

Our review of the Gray 24ft Endless Round Lifting Sling finds it best suited for industrial riggers and maintenance crews who need a high-capacity, easy-to-handle sling. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of substantial rated capacity and a soft, pliable jacket that grips loads without crushing them, making heavy lifts safer and more predictable on site. The review focuses on real-world handling, protection from UV and debris, and the clearly stated capacities for vertical, choker and basket configurations.

Key Features

• High rated capacity: With a basket rating of 63,400 lbs the sling handles very heavy lifts useful for cranes and large machinery.
• Multiple hitch ratings: Specific ratings for vertical (31,700 lbs) and choker (25,360 lbs) hitches allow correct selection for different lift methods.
• Durable jacket: The heavy thick jacket protects the lifting yarns from debris and ultraviolet rays, extending service life in outdoor use.
• Soft pliable cover: The jacket remains flexible to provide positive load gripping without crushing or distorting delicate surfaces.
• Standard compliance: Meets or exceeds OSHA and ASME B30.9 standards, giving confidence for regulated job sites.

Who It's For

The sling is aimed at industrial users: rigging crews, heavy equipment movers, construction contractors and any operation lifting very heavy loads where a rated polyester round sling is required. Its 24 ft end-to-end length and 2.20 in body diameter suit wide or tall loads and spreader bar setups.

Those who should look elsewhere include operators needing narrower flat webbing for extremely fragile finished surfaces or those requiring nonpolyester materials for chemical resistance; in those cases consider nylon web slings or chain slings depending on the environment.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Very high basket capacity makes it suitable for very heavy lifts and industrial applications.
• Soft, pliable jacket gives secure gripping without damaging load surfaces.
• Heavy jacket provides added protection from sunlight and site debris, increasing durability.

Cons

• Polyester construction is not ideal where chemical exposure or extreme heat resistance is required.
