Hi, good to learn. What I was looking for is the configurations. On the tag it has a line, a U and a triangle. Underneath these 3 , there is 1x 2x and .5x respectively. @600 kg.

I thought the 6, 8, or 9 meant the grade of material... 9 for 9000 lbs / width inch capacity working towards the WLL. I didn't know it had anything to do with edge guard... Learn something new every day...

Would it be advisable to keep a wide variety of Synthetic Slings of various lengths around for various lifting jobs? Our primary work will Remounting different types of Mobile Equipment / Machinery from light to heavy but we will Eskridgenot be handling the Super Monster sized stuff. What is the highest lifting capacity of a Synthetic Sling?

Sorry about Eskridge getting accidentally pasted in there in front of "not."
