“Gacflex” is used in the same applications as a polyester roundsling. It is preferable in some instances where a polyester roundsling is unsuitable, for instance where a fire rating is required. Made out of a continuous coil of 1/16” galvanized aircraft cable housed in a polyester jacket, this sling is rated at 400 degrees F, with load ratings of: Vertical : 5300 lbs Choke : 4250 lbs Basket: 10,600 lbs
When not using a GAC-Flex sling, many/most venues require that a standard polyester roundsling be backed up with 3/8" steel cable and 1/2" shackle. Thus GACflex saves time, but is stiffer and slightly harder to work with than a standard SpanSet.
