The heavier the load, the stronger the sling (e.g. round sling, lifting strap) must be. This ironclad principle of lifting technology often means that the "thicker" lifting equipment no longer fits into the hook or is crushed in it. One possible consequence of this is that companies not only have to procure appropriately designed lifting gear for heavy loads, but also suitable load handling attachments, i.e. hooks. This investment can be avoided with the particularly powerful Magnum-X round sling. It is available in more than a dozen variants with load capacities from 5 to 450 tonnes.
Round slings consist of an inner fibre fabric and an enveloping protective sheath or - as in the case of the Magnum-X - a tubular sheath. For the Magnum-X, the manufacturer SpanSet uses high-strength and heat-stabilised high-performance polyester for both the fabric and the tubular cover. This makes the Magnum-X significantly lighter and more compact than textile round slings. To be more precise, it is up to 50 per cent narrower.
These narrow dimensions are noticeable in the hook. While some hooks are simply too narrow for conventional round slings above a certain load capacity, the Magnum-X takes up significantly less space. The round sling is easy to attach and does not squeeze into the hook even under load. Because the hose cover is tight, there are hardly any creases. In practice, this means less wear due to abrasion or cuts and therefore a particularly long service life.
What should not be underestimated for everyday use: The ratio of the edge radius of the load and the thickness of the round sling determines whether the lifting equipment also needs to be protected against a sharp edge. The thicker the round sling, the more likely the edge is to be considered sharp. In this context, the fact that the Magnum-X is extremely thin proves to be an advantage.

The low material consumption has an effect on the weight. This means that the Magnum-X made of high-performance polyester is lighter and therefore easier to handle than comparable round slings made of conventional material. This proves to be a noticeable - and back-friendly! - relief. The round sling has an RFID transponder that is integrated into the protective sleeve and is tear-proof. To avoid confusion, the load capacity information is woven into the protective sleeve in a raised position. This makes the information clearly recognisable even when dirty.
The round sling is made from high-performance fibres that are significantly more tear-resistant than conventional polyester. As a result, Magnum-X requires less material for the same load-bearing capacity and is therefore "slimmer".
In which versions is the Magnum-X available?The Magnum-X round sling is available in the Carl Stahl webshop in various working lengths from a load capacity of 10 tonnes up to a load capacity of 150 tonnes.
Sharp edges can damage the lifting gear during lifting operations. A sharp edge is when the edge radius of the load is smaller than the thickness of the lifting sling or round sling. The Magnum-X has a smaller diameter than conventional round slings. It can therefore be applied to tight edge radii in many cases without additional aids (edge protection).
