Key Features

• Vertical capacity: The 5,300 lb vertical working load limit gives a clear baseline for single-leg lifts and simplifies planning on the job.
• Choker hitch rating: With a 4,200 lb choker capacity, the sling handles tensioned wraps where grip and reduction factors are required.
• Basket hitch rating: The 10,600 lb basket capacity doubles the vertical rating for paired-leg or wrapped lifts when used properly.
• 5:1 design factor: Ratings are provided at a 5:1 design factor which aligns with common industrial safety margins for lifting gear.
• Polyester construction: The green polyester web offers abrasion resistance and controlled stretch for predictable performance during pulls and lifts.
• Proudly manufactured in the USA: Domestic production provides traceability and consistent build quality for industrial buyers.

Who It's For

The Power Lift PL2x30' is aimed at riggers, construction crews, arborists, and shop technicians who need a reliable polyester round sling for straight lifts, chokers, and basket hitches. Its clear working load limits and 5:1 design factor make it especially useful where documentation and repeatable safety margins are required.

It is less suitable for users who require very long lengths beyond the listed size range in this listing or for specialized high-temperature applications where polyester stretch or heat resistance would be a limitation. For those needs, a different material or custom accessory should be considered.
