Beaver flat slings, commonly known as webbing slings, are an all-purpose lifting sling enabling the strong and non-damaging lift of a load. They are extremely lightweight and flexible. These flat slings are made from polyester webbing sewn into a continuous length, with an eye at each end. When used, they cover a broad support area, which cushions the load against damage and reduces slipping. The low stretch characteristics of the polyester webbing also prevent "load bounce" when hoisting very heavy weights.
