Nylon Webbing

About

Nylon Webbing for Recovery Straps, Slings, and Heavy-Duty Builds Nylon webbing is the strap material to choose when a job involves shock, sudden pulls, or a load that needs a little give. Unlike polyester , nylon stretches under tension and then recovers, which is why it is widely used to make recovery straps and web slings . Our nylon webbing comes in yellow, in 300' rolls, from 1" to 12" wide, with Made in USA designations on the listings. Because it comes in such a wide range of widths, nylon webbing also suits large custom assemblies where you need a heavy-duty strap and want to control the size, length, and hardware yourself. Choose a Width and Grade Break strength rises with width. In our listings, standard-grade rolls work out to 9,800 lbs. of break strength per inch of width, and economy-grade rolls work out to 7,000 lbs. per inch.

Treat these as failure points, not working loads Each figure above is a point at which brand-new webbing is expected to give out. None of them is a safe working load. The working load limit of anything you build depends on the hardware, how the ends are terminated, how the strap is rigged, and the manufacturer's rating. Heavy-duty jobs call for careful rating, so check manufacturer guidance and any DOT, jobsite, or industry requirements first. When Nylon Is the Right Choice Recovery and snatch straps: the stretch cushions the pull when a vehicle is stuck in mud, sand, or snow. Sling fabrication: nylon is a common material for web slings, which a qualified manufacturer builds and rates. Heavy custom straps: the 5" to 12" rolls cover large, high-capacity builds that standard straps do not reach. Shock-prone setups: anywhere a sudden jolt is expected and the load is not supposed to stay rigid. When
