What term describes an endless web sling created by joining the ends with a load-bearing splice?

• A. Type III Web Sling
• B. Web Slings
• C. Loop Eye
• D. Sling Angle

Answer: (A)

Endless web slings are continuous loops created by joining the two ends with a load-bearing splice so the entire sling carries the load, not a fixed end. This specific construction is designated as a Type III web sling. It’s the endless form used when you need a closed loop to wrap around a load or lift without exposed ends. The other terms don’t describe this construction: a Loop Eye refers to a fixed eye formed at an end, Web Slings is just the broad category of slings made from webbing, and Sling Angle is about how the sling engages the load, not how the sling is built.
