Dayton 6 ft Round Sling
This Dayton round sling is a Type 3 synthetic lifting sling designed for vertical, choker and basket hitches. It uses a polyester core protected by a polyester sleeve with flat eyes at each end. The 6 ft body supports a vertical hitch capacity of 8,400 lb. It suits rigging crews who need a flexible, lightweight connection for overhead lifts.
Who This Suits and Who Should Look Elsewhere
The sling suits riggers who need a 6 ft synthetic sling rated for 8,400 lb vertical capacity with flat eyes for standard hardware. It works in temperatures from -50 to 200 degrees F. Buyers who need a longer reach, a higher vertical rating, or integrated visual damage indicators should look elsewhere.
Deciding Specification
The vertical hitch capacity of 8,400 lb is the single figure that decides if this sling matches the load. The choker capacity is 6,700 lb and the basket capacity is 16,800 lb. If the intended lift exceeds 8,400 lb in a straight vertical pull, this sling is not the correct part.

Questions about this item
How much weight does the 8,400 lb vertical rating actually support when the sling is rigged in a choker hitch?
In a choker hitch the capacity drops to 6,700 lb because the eye tightens around the load and reduces the effective strength of the polyester core.
What does the Type 3 flat-eye construction mean for hook or shackle compatibility?
The 12-inch flat eyes are designed to sit flush in a hook bowl or shackle pin, allowing a clean connection without twisting the sling body.
Will the 1 5/8 inch body diameter and 2 5/8 inch loaded width fit through a standard 3-inch shackle opening?
Yes, the unloaded body measures 1 5/8 inch and spreads to 2 5/8 inch under load, so it clears a 3-inch shackle with room to spare.
