Product Description
Overview
The RS-S202 is a 2 m pull-to-pull steel-core round sling that combines a soft polyester jacket with the load-bearing strength of multi-strand steel wire. Inside the jacket are 34 loops of 1.5 mm steel wire, giving the sling a 2000 kg working load limit at 5:1, or 1000 kg under BGV-C1 at 10:1 for entertainment overhead rigging.
Why It Matters
The 2 M length is the everyday choice for wrapping truss or reaching nearby suspension points without crowding the connection. It gives crew a little working room while staying easy to inspect at the point.
Key Features
- 2 m pull-to-pull length gives a clear selection point within the steel-core sling family for matching trim height, wrap length, and pickup geometry.
- 34 loops of 1.5 mm steel wire provide a strong internal core while the polyester jacket stays kinder to painted truss and finished hardware than bare wire rope.
- 1000 kg BGV-C1 rating at 10:1 gives entertainment riggers a conservative overhead reference when the project requires that safety factor.
- Inspection window with hinged lid keeps the steel core, identification label, and serialised certification visible without opening the sling jacket.
- Heat resistance up to 150° °C and 6 mm minimum bending radius make the sling useful around compact pickups where normal textile slings may feel less appropriate.

Applications
A strong choice for entertainment overhead rigging, truss pickups, venue installations, and rental inventory where crew want steel-core strength but still need a jacketed sling that handles more gently than exposed wire rope.
Compatibility
Pair with rated shackles, hoists, truss structures, and anchorage hardware selected for the load path, sling angle, and required safety factor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why use this instead of a bare wire-rope sling
The steel core supplies the strength, while the polyester jacket is easier on painted truss, finished hardware, and compact pickup areas that should not be scraped by exposed wire.
Can crew actually inspect the steel inside the sling
Yes. A hinged inspection window gives direct visual access to the steel core, and the identification and serial information sit under the same lid.
Does the BGV-C1 number replace the 2000 kg working load limit
No. The sling is listed at 2000 kg with a 5:1 safety factor, and at 1000 kg when the application requires the BGV-C1 10:1 entertainment overhead factor.
