Roundslings
The Tuflex® Difference
What is a Tuflex Roundsling?
All Lift-All® roundslings meet or exceed OSHA and ASME B30.9 standards and regulations. A Tuflex roundsling is an endless synthetic sling made from a continuous loop polyester yarn covered by a double-wall tubular jacket. The synthetic roundsling body can also be compared to sling webbing with the tubular jacket face yarns woven without binder yarns; this allows the core yarns to move independently within the jacket.
Lift up to 1 million pounds with Lift-All’s KeyFlex™ Ultra High-Performance roundslings. Lift-All provides a solution for lifting your heaviest loads using the lightest, most flexible, and ergonomic polyester slings available, our high-performance roundslings. DynaFlex™ and KeyFlex Roundslings offer peace of mind when lifting your heaviest loads.
The Stage Rigging Roundslings, also part of the high-performance roundsling category, provide solutions for lighting and stage rigging suspension. Whether choosing SteelFlex™ Roundslings with the steel galvanized aircraft cable core or the Black Polyester Stage Slings, you can be ready for curtain call with Lift-All stage rigging roundslings.

Tuflex Roundslings
Tuflex Endless Roundslings
The most versatile Tuflex roundsling.
- Load stability and balance can be achieved by spreading sling legs.
- Wear points can be shifted to extend sling life.
- The most flexible style of sling.
- Individual slings can be attached together using appropriate hardware, see Direct Connect Hooks section.
Tuflex Eye/Eye Roundslings
A more rugged and durable Tuflex Roundsling.
- An additional jacket of texturized, abrasion resistant nylon covers the Tuflex body forming two color-coded lifting eyes.
Tuflex Bridle Roundslings
Better load control and balance when fixed lifting points are available.
- Use of hardware prevents cutting and abrasion of sling at bearing points.
- Reduces damage by protecting load between pick-up point and crane hook.
- Lightweight and pliable for easy rigging and storage.
- Sling hooks quickly connect to loads having hoist rings or eye bolts.
Tuflex Braided Roundslings
For multi-part heavy lifting, braided Tuflex roundslings offer you additional security.
Tuflex braids are made from three (6-Part), or four (8-Part) individual Tuflex roundslings.
Should one of these component slings be damaged while in use, the remaining undamaged slings will be able to assist in safely returning the load to the ground.
- Braided construction offers engineered safety.
- Lightweight and more flexible than chain slings.
- Easy to transport and hook-up.
- 6-part flat braid offers wide-body for load stability.
High-Performance Roundslings
The solution for lifting the heaviest loads using the lightest, most flexible, and ergonomic slings available!
The Lift-All Difference
The Lift-All Difference – Why compromise work safety? Here’s why all high-performance roundslings are not the same:
- Load-Bearing Core Yarn: Non-blended core fibers provide more consistent sling performance, regardless of the application.
- Verified Strength: Lift-All regularly completes strength verification of all sizes of roundslings using test pins that are smaller than required by the industry to represent actual loading conditions more closely.
- Single Path Core is Our Standard: Multi-path slings exhibit an advantage during strength verification testing as test pins allow for tension forces to be spread over a wider, flat bearing surface. Our single path round design fits naturally in narrow, rounded bearing surfaces of connection hardware. We designed our high performance roundslings with the understanding of how the sling is used in the field. This is validated during strength verification testing.
- The Cover Sleeve: Roundslings are typically removed from service due to cover wear. Lift-All‘s design contains a durable, double layer cover that offers rotational benefits for even wear and ease of feeding through connections.
DynaFlex
Dyneema® High-Performance Core Ultra-Lightweight Roundsling
DynaFlex is manufactured with a load bearing core of Dyneema, the world’s strongest fiber, yet remains soft and flexible to allow for easy rigging. This high capacity, ultra-lightweight roundsling is a safe and ergonomic alternative to steel and other forms of synthetic slings.
- Ultra-Lightweight – Approximately 20% lighter than KeyFlex™ and 52% lighter than Tuflex for the same capacity, reducing the probabilities of hand and shoulder strains and sprains.
- Neutral Buoyancy – DynaFlex slings are a great choice for water recovery and lifting applications.
- 100% Dyneema Core (non-blended) – We use the most advanced high tenacity fiber on the market for lifting slings. The homogeneous core fiber reacts uniformly regardless of lift application. Designed with your safety in mind.
KeyFlex
- Low weight per capacity reduces risk of injury to riggers.
- Great for low headroom situations.
- 1% stretch at rated capacity reduces abrasion and allows for better load control.
- KeyFlex with aramid load fiber is approved for use up to 350°F.
- Lightweight and compact size promote speedier rigging, transport and storage when compared to any other type of sling.

The Higher Capacity KeyFlex Roundsling
- High Capacities: Up to 1/2 million pounds in a vertical hitch, or 1 million pounds in a basket hitch.
- Rugged Construction: Our best 4-ply Tufhide™ nylon jacket covers three individual KeyFlex roundslings with Technora®
- High Value: You get the Lift-All quality you expect which exceeds industry standards at a competitive price.
- Extra Utility: KeyFlex Ultra roundslings can be returned to Lift-All for disassembly, inspection, and re-tagging as individual slings.
- Repairable: The outer cover can be replaced.
- KeyFlex Ultra is 87% lighter than comparable capacity wire rope slings.

The steel sling with the fabric feel.
With safety being of the utmost importance in overhead suspension, Lift-All’s SteelFlex roundslings combine flexibility, strength and heat resistance (400°F) with the soft feel of fabric to meet your most demanding suspension requirements.
SteelFlex roundslings feature steel galvanized aircraft cable wound in an endless configuration. This wire core is encased in a black double-wall, polyester jacket. A unique inspection window allows for easy inspection of the core for broken wires and corrosion. The result is a highly flexible, easy to use sling that complies with all of the current rigging codes. Stretch at rated capacity is approximately 1%.
- No backup rigging required.
- Engineered window allows for core inspection.
- Superior flexibility makes rigging easy.
- Conforms to the load to grip securely.
- Superior cut resistance.
