All lifting slings are also well-suited for lifting objects of irregular shapes and can also do an excellent job when talking about lifting fragile items. Also, due to their versatility, many different types of lifting slings work better for certain jobs. Here are a few examples: • nylon slings are resistant to a wide array of chemicals or oils and, as such, these lifting accessories are perfect for a large range of industrial operations. • synthetic slings work best when used for delicate surfaces. • chain slings are better when working with heavy, high-temperature environments.
