Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (HMPE) fiber ropes and slings have become a popular load handling component, to replace steel wire ropes.
Modern high-strength synthetic fibers are remarkably durable and will not rust, or corrode. They are not affected by salt or fresh water, and wear points can be protected from abrasion, cutting, and heat damage. They are also easy to inspect and repair.
HMPE fiber slings offer significant reductions in rigging time, handling, transportation, and storage costs. They are 86% lighter than steel wire rope, offer superior flexibility, and are soft on hands, offering a viable solution for riggers and expensive payloads.
