Lifting Sling Belt GEKO 5T 8m 150mm - Polyester Webbing, 3-leg

GEKO 5T 8m 150mm lifting sling belt is a three-leg polyester webbing sling intended for vertical and multi-leg lifting tasks. With a rated capacity of 5 tonnes, an overall length of 8 metres and a webbing width of 150 mm, this sling provides multiple attachment points for secure handling of irregular or bulky loads. Constructed from polyester webbing, it combines flexibility and abrasion resistance to suit industrial, construction and logistics environments where reliable load distribution and rated strength are required.

Advantages

The polyester construction resists moisture and most oils, retaining strength and dimensional stability during routine use. The three-leg design allows balanced lifting of asymmetrical loads and enables connection to hooks, shackles or spreader beams to reduce load sway. The 150 mm webbing width distributes pressure over a larger area, reducing local fabric stress and protecting load surfaces. The sling is lightweight compared with equivalent steel chain assemblies, making positioning and rigging faster while keeping handling safer within the rated 5-ton capacity.

Suitable for

• Vertical lifting of machinery, equipment and components
• Multi-leg lifts of irregular or asymmetrical loads
• Use with crane hooks, shackles or spreader beams
• General material handling in construction and logistics

Key specifications

• Rated capacity: 5 tonnes (vertical/multi-leg use as specified by applicable standards)
• Overall length: 8 metres
• Webbing width: 150 mm
• Material: polyester webbing
• Configuration: three-leg (3-branch) sling

How to use

Inspect the sling visually before each use for cuts, frays, abrasion, chemical damage or other defects and remove from service if any damage is found. Select appropriate lifting hardware (hooks, shackles, spreader beams) and ensure their rated capacity meets or exceeds the lift requirement. Attach each leg to the load and to the lifting point, ensuring even load distribution and correct angles between legs to avoid exceeding the rated capacity. Do not expose the sling to sharp edges without suitable edge protection and avoid knotting, twisting or running the webbing over damaged surfaces. After use, store the sling in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and chemicals to preserve polyester strength.

Usage recommendations

Use built-in or separate edge protection when lifting loads with sharp corners, and follow applicable national and industry standards for sling inspection, de-rating with angle changes and safe lifting practices. Replace the sling if inspection reveals significant wear, elongation, burns or chemical degradation.
