Textile slings GOST

There is no separate GOST for textile slings. Their manufacture, technical specifications and recommended scope of application are governed by the guidance document RD 24-SZK-01-01.

Some textile sling suppliers reference GOST 25573-82, but that standard applies to wire rope slings for load-lifting purposes.

There are three main types of textile slings:

• loop-type;
• endless (round);
• leg-type — with one, two, three or four legs.

The loop-type version is marked with the letters STP and is fitted with reinforced loops at both ends. An endless (round) sling is a product with securely joined ends. Single- or multi-leg slings are attached at the top end to a ring that fits onto the crane hook, while the bottom end is fitted with load-attachment devices.

Textile slings from the FLOK catalogue are suitable for moving fragile and delicate loads.
