The roundsling is recognized for its endless design, which is formed from a bundle of synthetic fibers. This construction allows it to be extremely versatile and suitable for various lifting applications, especially where a flexible and lightweight sling is needed. The endless loop design contributes to its overall strength and durability while also distributing the load more evenly across the fibers.

In contrast, a wire rope sling is made from steel wire strands, which do not have the same flexibility and softness as synthetic fibers, making it less suited for applications where delicate handling of the load is required. A flat web sling, while it is also made from synthetic materials, typically has a flat design rather than being endless and lacks the additional strength and versatility of a roundsling. A chain sling, although strong and durable, is made from metal links and is not constructed from synthetic fibers, thus differing fundamentally in design and intended use compared to a roundsling.
