Advantage of Heavy Duty Soft Round Lifting Textile Sling/Webbing Sling with Safety factor 6:1 7:1
Polyester is a synthetic material that is extremely light and when made into lifting slings it makes a very cost effective lifting sling. The material is soft to touch (hence soft slings) and therefore is less likely to cause damage to the goods when they are lifted and will not cause the type of injuries to the user compared with wire rope sling, for example cuts caused by broken wires, manual handling or impact injuries. Synthetic polyester (fiber material) slings are much lighter weight than both wire rope or chain slings and therefore this type of lifting sling is much easier to handle.
Polyester slings are much cheaper than alternative slings made from other materials and usually are lighter, more flexible and have a greater factor of safety, though they do have less abrasive resistance. This can be overcome by using a wear sleeve made from either polyester or polyurethane. The polyurethane can either be wrapped round the sling or bonded onto the surface of the sling. Further protection can be offered by using steel end fittings (Joker hooks or Grade 80 master rings and hooks) or the use of corner protectors, speak to a member of our sales team about this, we will be more than pleased to assist.
Care and usage of sling
1.Lifting sling with the surface damage is an important factor in reducing the strength. When the surface tear, the tape will rapidly damage. The surface fiber fracture ( not the fault ) , as long as the scope is not too big and it would not affect.
- Never exceed the working load limit of a chain sling.
- Shall not focus on the way that use bolt to lift without protection .
- The soft ring’s lifting device must be:
A. Smooth without any sharp edges
B. Its should not be torn or the belt overload . - Lifting should observe the following measures.
A. Do not drag when moving
B. Do not tie belt
C. Eliminate all twists, knots or kinks before lifting.
D. Do not use the sling (with no pads) to lift the cargo that is sharp or having edges, especially when belt has some abrasion or wear and tear.
E. Do not lift goods too much time
F. Do not take away the strap when it working
G. Notice the load
H. Avoid soft ring angle opened more than 20 degree. - Ensure the load unchanged during usuage. If several belts use in the same time , try to balance the load as far as possible.
- If used in high-temperature occasions or lifting chemical substances , should be in accordance with the manufacture and distributor of the guidance. tape dirtied or have been used in acid-base environment should be immediately washed with clean water.
- Sling should be kept in the place where can avoid light and no UV radiation.
- Sling should not be kept in the place where have spark or heat around.
- Each tape should be carefully examined before use.
- Return slings to manufacturer to ensure proper repair procedures are followed.
- Store chain slings in a clean, dry area, preferably by hanging on racks or A-frames
