These are used as the cost-effective transition between the rescue backboard or sled and the hooked ends of a strap such as a ratchet or tow strap. These are very quick to install and spread the stress over a larger area of the backboard lessening the wear.

Endless nylon slings are extremely versatile lifting slings because they can be used in all 3 hitch styles: choker hitch sling, vertical hitch sling or basket hitch sling. Its round design also allows you to rotate the wear points each time you use it, which will extend the life of the sling. However, a load may shift more in an endless nylon sling compared to a traditional eye & eye type sling.

To measure nylon endless slings, stretch the nylon sling end to end and measure the sling tip to tip. Do NOT measure the circumference, or amount of fabric for the entire endless loop sling, as this doubles that actual sling size.

Eye-to-Eye Lifting Slings are used as a cost-effective transition between the rescue backboard and the hooked ends of an adjustable strap such as a ratchet strap. These are very quick to install and spread the stress over a larger area of the backboard lessening the wear.
