Fireproof Endless Type Round Sling
A fireproof endless type round sling is a closed loop of high-tenacity filament inside a flame-retardant woven sleeve, built so that it resists ignition, stops burning when the flame or spark source is removed, and does not drip molten polymer onto the load or the floor. The endless form matters in hot work: there is no eye, no thimble and no stitching in the load path, so the whole circumference can be turned to face the hazard and the bearing point can be moved instead of retired. The RK01 series on this page runs from 1 т да 20 t in eleven steps, 1.5 м марте 80 м, in FR polyester or para-aramid.
1. Эмне “fireproof” means on a sling, and what it does not
Three different claims get sold as fireproof, and only the first two are properties of the sling. The third is a property of the test.
It does not sustain combustion. Once the ignition source leaves, the material stops burning. That is what a limiting oxygen index above 28 buys you: the fibre needs more oxygen than the air around it contains to keep a flame going. Ordinary polyester sits near 20-21 and will keep burning in air.
It does not melt and drip. Polyester softens and melts around 250-260 °C; aramid has no melting point and chars instead. A burning drip is worse than a flame in a workshop, because it lands on whatever is underneath and it takes the sling’s strength with it.
It is not a fire barrier. No textile sling is rated like a fire door. “Fireproof” here means it will survive the sparks, slag and spatter of hot work and can be pulled out of a brief flame, not that it can be left in a fire, used as a heat shield, or immersed in molten metal. Those are different products and different tests.
2. Конструкций: where the fire protection sits
The load path is a parallel bundle of filament running the full circumference inside a woven tube. The sleeve carries no load. It takes the abrasion, the sparks, the slag and the sunlight — and on a fireproof build it is also where most of the flame protection is put, because the sleeve is the part that meets the hazard and the part that can be replaced.
That gives three practical builds:
| Куруу | Том | Шокшо | Where it fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| FR polyester throughout | Тул деч аралыше кӱкшӧ пеҥгыдылыкан полиэфир | FR полиэфир, ик але кок пачаш | Sparks, сваркым ыштыме брызги, slag and brief flame at normal workshop temperature. The economical answer, and the one most hot-work shops actually need. |
| FR sleeve over standard core | Standard high-tenacity polyester | FR polyester or aramid | The same hazards, with the protection concentrated where the sparks land. Costs less than an FR core and is replaced as a sleeve when it is burnt through. |
| Aramid core and sleeve | Пара-арамид (Кевлар-класс) | Урымо арамид, aramid plus glass on the hot side | Where the sling also touches the hot workpiece: foundry moulds, hot rolls, штамп да литье. Шӱлымӧ температур уке, and the fibre keeps its strength at temperatures that destroy polyester. |
Two details decide how a fireproof sling behaves in service, and neither is visible in a photograph. The first is sleeve fit: a sleeve that can slide lets you move the burnt patch away from the bearing line and keep working, while a tight sleeve concentrates every spark in the same place. The second is where the sleeve is doubled. On the RK01 sizes above 10 t the sleeve is normally doubled over the length that will bear on the load, because that is where contact pressure and heat arrive together.
3. Fire performance: the figures to ask for
Fire performance on a textile sling is a set of measured behaviours, not a single badge. These are the four that decide whether a build is worth the premium, with the test each one comes from and what it means on the shop floor.
| Собственность | Тест | FR polyester build | Para-aramid build | Тиде мом ончыкта |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Кислород индексым чактараш (LOI) | ISO 4589-2 | 28 and above | Иктаж. 29, untreated | Below about 26 the material keeps burning in air. 28 and above is the working threshold for self-extinguishing. |
| Ignition and flame spread | ISO 6941 / EN ISO 15025 | Self-extinguishing after removal of the flame | Шкевуя йӱлен; chars rather than burns | The sling stops contributing once the spark shower stops, instead of carrying a flame along the body. |
| Afterflame time | ISO 6941 | Typically 2 s or less | Typically 2 s or less | How long the material keeps burning after the igniter is withdrawn. Short afterflame is what keeps a small burn from becoming a burnt-through sleeve. |
| Behaviour at temperature | — | Softens near 250-260 °C; FR treatment delays ignition, it does not raise the melting point | Шӱлымӧ температур уке; chars and decomposes near 500 °C | This is the row that separates fireproof from heat resistant. An FR polyester sling self-extinguishes and is still limited to about 90 °C in contact. |
| Burning drip | Visual, per ISO 6941 | No burning drip in the FR build | None — the fibre does not melt | A drip takes the flame to the floor and to whatever is underneath, and it is the failure mode that ends a sling’s life in one event. |
Read the LOI row together with the temperature row, because they answer different questions and buyers routinely buy one while needing the other. An FR polyester sling with an LOI of 30 will shrug off a welding spark and then lose strength against a 120 °C billet, and an aramid sling that survives the billet will still be damaged by a sustained flame at the same spot. Neither is “more fireproof” than the other; they fail at different things.
4. Технический параметр-влак: the RK01 series
The dimensional series below is the working table for this product. It gives, for each article number, the vertical working load limit, the approximate body thickness and width, the length range and the unit weight — which is the figure that decides whether the sling can be carried up a ladder and how much a 20 m body weighs on the hook.

5. Capacity depends on the hitch, not on the sleeve
The figure on the label is the vertical rating of a single leg. Every other arrangement multiplies it, and on a fireproof sling the multiplication is what decides whether you can pick the load with the size you have or need the next one up.
| Верланымаш | Фактор | 5 т строп | 10 т строп | 20 т строп |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ик йол, вертикальысе | 1.0 | 5.0 т | 10.0 т | 20.0 т |
| Ик йол, йӱкшен | 0.8 | 4.0 т | 8.0 т | 16.0 т |
| Корзинка, 0-7° | 2.0 | 10.0 т | 20.0 т | 40.0 т |
| Корзинка, 7-45° | 1.4 | 7.0 т | 14.0 т | 28.0 т |
| Корзинка, 45-60° | 1.0 | 5.0 т | 10.0 т | 20.0 т |
| Кок йол, 0-45° from vertical | 1.4 | 7.0 т | 14.0 т | 28.0 т |
| Ныл йол, 0-45° from vertical | 2.1 | 10.5 т | 21.0 т | 42.0 т |
Two points catch most orders. A choker costs a fifth of the capacity, and a choker is exactly what you are forced into when the load has no lifting point and the sling has to grip it. And four legs are calculated on three, because a real load never sits perfectly symmetrical — the factor is 2.1 олмеш 2.8. Read both before choosing the size, not after the sling arrives. Where the headroom is short and the legs would open past 45°, ик нӧлталтше пуч keeps the legs vertical and recovers the capacity the angle has just spent.
6. Кужыт: the figure that is a factor of two out
Мучашдыме рожын мучашыже уке, so its length can be quoted two ways, and quoting the wrong one is the most expensive mistake on this product because the sling has to be remade rather than adjusted.
| Quoted as | What you receive | Example | Used for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Паша кужыт | Half the circumference — hook down to the load and back up | 1.5 m EWL = 3 m loop | Vertical and choked lifts, where the height under the hook is known |
| Йыргешке | The full loop length | 6 m circumference = 3 м EWL | Basket lifts, where the girth of the load sets the length |
We quote and print the effective length as standard, so the label and the quotation always agree. For a basket, measure the girth of the load, add the headroom to the hook and quote that as the effective length — the body then takes the long way round, and the legs stay at the angle the capacity table assumes.
7. Endless type against eye type
Both are sold as fireproof round slings, and the difference is only in the terminations — but the terminations are what decide how the sling wears in hot work.
| Собственность | Endless type | Шинча тип |
|---|---|---|
| Пытартыш | None — a closed loop with no stitching in the load path | Two fixed eyes, either spliced or sewn |
| Кужыт | Set by the loop circumference | Set by the distance between the eyes |
| Wear distribution | Can be turned end for end and the bearing point moved along the loop | Wear concentrates at the eyes and at the fixed bearing points |
| Reeving | The whole loop can be passed round the load and through itself | Must be hooked, so the hook has to reach the eye |
| Hot-work repair | A scorched patch can be moved off the bearing line and the sling kept in service | A scorched eye is a retirement, because the eye is the termination |
| Эн сай | Задушной лифт-влак, awkward shapes, long bodies, hot work where the contact point moves | Repeated lifts from a fixed hook height, where a defined length saves rigging time |
If the lift repeats from the same hook to the same pick-up points, the eye type is quicker to rig; ончо шинчан йыргешке рогатка диапазон. If the hazard moves, or the sling has to be re-reeved between lifts, the endless type is the one that survives the week.
8. Where a fireproof endless sling is specified
| Парымыш | What the sling is up against |
|---|---|
| Welding and fabrication bays | Spatter, grinding sparks and hot offcuts landing on the body while it is rigged and waiting. FR polyester is the usual answer. |
| Steel mills and rolling mills | Radiant heat from billets and coils, plus scale and slag on the floor. Aramid core where the body also touches the workpiece. |
| Литейный да литье | Moulds and dies moved while still hot, with a flame path from the pour. Aramid build, doubled sleeve on the bearing length. |
| Galvanising and coating lines | Hot dip work where the sling is close to the bath and the load comes out at temperature. |
| Стеклозавод да печке-влак | Radiant heat and a load that must not be marked; the sleeve insulates the workpiece as well as the core. |
| Shipyards and heavy plant maintenance | Hot work permits in force while the lift is rigged, so the sling has to tolerate spatter it was not bought for. |
9. Тергымаш, and what ends a fireproof sling’s life
The sleeve is a working part, and on a fireproof sling it is the part that is expected to be damaged. The point of the construction is that you see the damage on the outside before the core is affected.
- Look for scorching and glazing first. A shiny, stiff or brown patch is heat that has already been absorbed. It is telling you how much of the sleeve’s margin has been used.
- Check for a burnt-through patch. A hole that exposes the core is a retirement, not a repair — even if the core looks intact.
- Slide the sleeve back where it will move. On an endless sling you can inspect a working length of core directly; a dull or brownish core has been overheated and no sleeve replacement recovers it.
- Check the whole bearing length, not the visible side. Sparks land where the sling wraps, which is usually the side facing away from you.
- Этикеткым лудын лекса. If the working load limit, length or batch cannot be read, the sling cannot be verified and comes out of service.
- Нигунам йӱкшен ӱштым ит шупш. Friction builds heat from the outside in, where you cannot see it start.
10. What to send for a quotation
| Информаций | Why it changes the price |
|---|---|
| Ик йоллан нагрузко, and the hitch | Sets the RK01 size; the mode factor decides whether the next size up is needed |
| Эффективнын кужытшо, and the convention | Effective length or circumference — a factor of two apart |
| Лӱдыкшӧ, not the ambient temperature | Sparks and spatter need FR polyester; contact with a hot workpiece needs aramid |
| Contact or radiant heat, and dwell time | Decides the sleeve build and whether the sleeve is doubled on the bearing length |
| Surface condition | Sheared edges and burrs cut a sleeve as readily as they cut a hand; edge protectors may be needed |
| Маркироватлымаш да сертификаций | Label language, standard marking, batch traceability and test record with the consignment |
11. Чӱчкыдын пуымо йодыш-влак
Is a fireproof round sling the same as a heat-resistant round sling?
Жок. Heat resistance is about how much temperature the fibre keeps its strength at. Fire resistance is about ignition, flame spread and dripping. An FR polyester sling self-extinguishes in a spark shower and is still limited to about 90 °C in contact; an aramid sling survives the contact and chars rather than melts. Лийшаш кӱкшӧ температур йыргешке строп page covers the temperature side; this page is about the flame side.
What does the endless type change in practice?
There are no eyes and no stitching in the load path, so the loop can be re-reeved, turned end for end and the bearing point moved. In hot work that is the difference between retiring a sling because one patch is scorched and moving that patch off the bearing line. The cost is that length is ordered as a circumference and there are no eyes to hold a hook in position.
What LOI should I specify?
28 and above for a flame-retardant build. Ordinary polyester is around 20-21 and keeps burning in air; 28 and above is where the material stops supporting combustion once the igniter is removed. Untreated para-aramid sits at about 29 without any finish, which is one reason it needs no FR treatment.
Can it lift molten metal?
Жок. It resists sparks, шлак, spatter and brief flame, but it is not rated for immersion in molten metal or for holding a load that is still liquid. Splash should be brushed off, the sleeve inspected, and the sling returned to service only if the weave is intact.
FR polyester or para-aramid?
FR polyester when the hazard is sparks and spatter at normal workshop temperature — it is cheaper and it self-extinguishes. Para-aramid when the sling also touches the hot workpiece, because it has no melting point and holds strength at temperatures that destroy polyester. Лийшаш арамид йыргешке рогатка range covers the standard-duty sizes.
What length do I order?
The effective working length: hook down to the load and back up, which is half the loop circumference. ИК 1.5 m effective length is a 3 m loop. State the convention on the order, because a circumference quoted as an effective length is a factor of two out and cannot be corrected afterwards.
How much does it lift in a choke or a basket?
The label gives the vertical figure. A choke takes it to 0.8 гана, a basket at 0-7° raises it to 2.0 гана, at 7-45° to 1.4 гана, and at 45-60° to 1.0 гана. Two legs at 0-45° give 1.4 times and four legs give 2.1 гана, calculated on three legs.
Is it certified, and to which standard?
The polyester build follows EN 1492-2 construction practice with a sewn label and a proof-load record matched to the serial. A para-aramid build sits outside the fibre list of that standard, so the rating is a manufacturer specification. Tell us the marking or certificate your market requires and we will confirm exactly what can be provided for the construction you buy.
12. Why buy fireproof round slings from Lift
We have been making slings, webbing and rope in Taizhou, Цзянсу гыч 1985, with the core, the sleeve and the stitching under one roof — which is what makes a build-to-order fireproof sling a production order rather than a special project. Паша-влак, the test laboratory and the export paperwork are described on the about us лаштык.
- The build is chosen, not guessed. Tell us what the sparks land on and whether the body touches the hot workpiece, and the core and sleeve are paired to that hazard rather than to a catalogue line.
- Spare sleeves. A burnt sleeve is a consumable. Replacement sleeves are supplied separately so a scorched cover does not take a serviceable sling out of the rack.
- Tested and marked per sling. Колтымо деч ончыч доказательствым оптымо, with the record matched to the serial on the label; a self-testing laboratory with a 1,000 t tensile machine behind the range, CE дене, DNV and PICC certification — see сертификаций.
- One supplier for the hot job. Fireproof round slings, aramid webbing slings, high temperature webbing slings, строп-влак жана нӧлталме ӱзгар-влак from the same works, so the whole lift is specified against one set of figures.
