Things to Consider When Using a Duplex Flat or Round Polyester Webbing Lifting Sling

To ensure the safe and effective use of Polyester Webbing Lifting Slings, it’s essential to follow best practices and take key factors into account. Here’s what you should keep in mind:

Load Capacity and Sling Rating

Always check the sling’s safe working load (SWL) before use.

Ensure the sling’s capacity matches or exceeds the weight of the load being lifted.

Take into account any angle of lift as this will reduce the sling’s effective capacity.

Sling Condition and Inspection

Inspect the sling for any signs of damage, wear, cuts, fraying, or chemical damage before each use.

Look for damaged stitching or distorted fittings.

If the sling shows any signs of damage, remove it from service immediately.

Correct Sling Configuration

Use the correct sling configuration for the lift – options include:

Straight lift (vertical)

Choke lift (wrapped around the load)

Basket lift (looped under the load)

Ensure the sling is evenly loaded and positioned to prevent imbalance.

Protection Against Abrasion and Cuts

Use protective sleeves or corner protectors when lifting loads with sharp edges or rough surfaces.

Avoid dragging the sling over rough or sharp surfaces, as this can cause damage.

Environmental Factors

Polyester slings are resistant to most acids but can be damaged by alkalis – avoid contact with incompatible chemicals.

Protect the sling from excessive heat and UV exposure to maintain its integrity.

Do not use slings in temperatures exceeding 100°C or below -40°C.

Storage and Maintenance

Store slings in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight and chemical exposure.

Keep slings free from moisture and contaminants to prevent degradation.

After use, clean the sling with mild soap and water if needed – avoid harsh chemicals.

Following these guidelines will help extend the life of your Duplex Flat or Round Polyester Webbing Sling and ensure safe lifting operations every time.
