2 in. Eye-to-Eye Webbing Sling

This 2 inch eye-to-eye webbing sling is a flat, light sling for crane picks, choking logs and general lifting around the job. The webbing spreads load over a wider area than rope, which helps protect bark and finished surfaces.

Where it fits on a tree job

Webbing slings are standard rigging around cranes and loaders. Use one to choke a log for a pick, wrap a section for the loader, or anchor equipment. The flat profile grips well and is easier on bark than narrow rope.

Capacity depends on how you hitch it: vertical, choker and basket ratings are different, and they are printed on the tag. More options are in our crane slings section.

Inspection and limits

Check the tag is legible and the webbing is free of cuts, holes, burns, broken stitching and heavy UV fading before each pick. A sling with a missing or unreadable tag should come out of service. Protect the webbing from saw cuts and sharp edges. Store it dry and out of the sun between jobs, since UV and grit both shorten its life.

Never exceed the rated capacity for the hitch you are using. Rigging gear is for moving wood, not for life support. Match every component to the load with a working margin, follow the manufacturer's ratings and ANSI Z133, and make sure the crew is trained in rigging before relying on it. Note when each piece went into service, so worn gear gets retired on time instead of living on the truck for years.
