What is the difference between a round sling and a mesh sling

Round sling properties
shape
The name "round sling" is very suitable for these slings because they are essentially a continuous loop of material.

Material
You can usually find round slings made of polyester or nylon synthetic fibers. These materials are flexible and allow multiple rigging configurations such as vertical, choke, basket and hook. The material of the sling will affect its specific properties, such as heat resistance, water resistance, wear resistance and other factors.

Work load limit
You can find round slings to handle loads from 5,000 pounds. To 1,000,000 pounds. Depends on rigging settings.

The main purpose
Since round slings are very strong, they are usually used to hold the heaviest load of all synthetic slings. The lifting strength of the strongest round sling is even comparable to that of a wire rope or chain sling. They are also most helpful for lifting loads of certain shapes, such as pipes or pipes.

Network sling properties
shape
The mesh sling is a flat material, similar to a waist belt, with two small loops at both ends. This shape makes them the most versatile slings and therefore the slings most commonly used for daily rigging operations.

Material
Mesh slings are also made of nylon or synthetic fibers, which makes them both light and flexible.

Work load limit
Depending on the specific type and configuration of the sling, the sling can lift a weight ranging from 2,000 pounds. Up to about 100,000 pounds. For the strongest type.

The main purpose
These slings are very suitable for fixing oddly shaped or fragile objects because their flexibility and soft material allow them to fit the load surface. This makes them very versatile and ideal for fixing various loads.
