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.
