Always refer to the product identification tag, manufacturer instructions, and applicable safety requirements before selecting or using lifting equipment.

I move a lot of 1500 to 2200 LB. Irrigation Motors up and down from trucks to warehouse and this sling is the best for fast and secure lifting. The Motors I lift have lift hooks on each side, so the slings are perfect in basket mode.
Thank you.
Great product, at a great price, and it was delivered sooner than promised. What more could you ask for? Have already used these wire rope slings to drag 1-ton + granite slabs out of the woods with my tractor, and they performed exactly as hoped for.
