USA Made VR2 X 6ft Green Double PLY Round Poly Lifting Sling - Durable

Our review of the USA Made VR2 X 6' Green sling finds it best suited to industrial users and tradespeople who need an economical, reliable polyester round sling for regular lifting tasks. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of USA manufacturing and practical load ratings - a 5,300 lb vertical capacity with clear color coding and a floating serial tag for traceability makes it easy to specify and inspect on the job. This review focuses on real-world durability, handling, and the usefulness of the sewn, double ply cover design.

Key Features

• Made in the USA: Provides confidence in consistent manufacture and visible traceable serial numbers for inspection records.
• 5,300 lb vertical rating: Handles heavy vertical lifts common in material handling and rigging without compromise when used per tag ratings.
• Double ply cover: Adds abrasion protection and helps prevent early wear while keeping the sling lightweight and adaptable.
• Color-coded strength: Quick visual confirmation of rated capacity, reducing the chance of using the wrong sling for a lift.
• Low 3% elongation and UV resistance: Means predictable behavior under load and longer life outdoors compared with lesser poly slings.
• Floating ID tag: Ensures the serial number and capacity information remain visible even after repeated use.

Who It's For

The VR2 X 6' Green sling is aimed at contractors, warehouse teams, and maintenance crews who need a dependable, serviceable lifting sling made in the USA for daily or periodic use. Its 6 ft length and the combination of vertical, choker and basket capacities make it a versatile choice for lifting engines, machinery, palletized gear and recoveries where polyester performance is preferred.

Those who need specialty high-temperature slings, webbing with integrated hardware, or certified lifting equipment for extremely critical aerospace applications should look elsewhere; this sling is an economical, general-purpose round poly sling rather than a specialty engineered product.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Robust USA construction and a traceable floating serial tag make inspections straightforward.
• High rated capacities (5,300 lb vertical, 4,240 lb choker, 10,600 lb basket) give flexibility for common rigging configurations.
• Double ply cover and UV resistance improve longevity and abrasion protection in field conditions.
• Lightweight and low stretch makes it easier to handle and position during lifts.

Cons

• Not intended for extreme high-temperature service above the maximum working temperature of 194 F.
• As an economy seamed sling, it may require inspection and occasional economical repair if cover fibers are damaged.
