Heavy stone countertops and precast concrete panels are some of the most challenging materials to handle on site. Not only are they extremely heavy, they are also brittle, meaning the wrong lifting method can result in cracks, chips, or serious accidents. At GGR Glass, we supply a full range of webbing slings designed to make these lifts safer and more efficient.
Our Duplex Webbing Slings are one of the most popular options for this type of work. Manufactured from strong polyester with reinforced eyes, they are available in a variety of capacities and lengths to suit different jobs. Their wide surface helps to spread the weight evenly across the stone or concrete, preventing concentrated pressure points that can cause damage. For everyday tasks such as positioning worktops or lifting concrete slabs into place, they provide the perfect balance of strength and flexibility.
When the lift requires more adaptability, our Continuous Round Slings are often the better choice. Their endless loop design means they can be used in vertical, choke, or basket hitches, giving operators more control when moving awkwardly shaped panels. Because there are no sewn joints, the load is distributed smoothly around the sling, offering both security and durability.
For projects where standard slings won’t suffice, GGR Glass also provides Bespoke Heavy Duty Slings. These are manufactured to order, with capacities up to 100 tonnes and lengths of up to 18 metres available. That makes them ideal for oversized architectural glass, large precast panels, or custom stonework that needs a tailored lifting solution.
It’s not just slings that make the difference. To support operatives carrying smaller stone or concrete elements by hand, our Carrying Straps reduce strain and improve grip, while Secondary Safety Devices (SSD) provide vital back-up when working with single-circuit vacuum lifters alongside slings. Together, these accessories ensure that heavy loads are not only lifted effectively, but also with maximum protection for both the material and the team handling it.
From granite countertops to precast concrete panels, webbing slings are a required tool for tradespeople who need to move heavy, fragile loads with care.
