Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the Safe Working Load (SWL) of this sling?
The Safe Working Load (SWL) for this SecureFix Direct Duplex Web Sling is 5 Ton (5000 KGS).
How do I check if the sling is safe to use?
Before each use, inspect the sling for any cuts, abrasion, tears, chemical damage, heat damage, or damaged stitching. Ensure the reinforced eyes are intact and free from excessive wear.
Can this sling be used for lifting loads with sharp edges?
While the sling is durable, sharp edges can cause cuts and abrasion. It is highly recommended to use edge protectors (corner guards) when lifting loads with sharp corners or edges to prevent damage to the webbing.
What is the difference between a duplex and simplex sling?
A duplex sling has two layers of webbing, providing double the thickness and strength of a simplex sling (which has one layer). This often results in a higher capacity or increased durability for duplex slings.
What standards does this sling meet?
This web sling is manufactured to ISO4878 and EN1492-1:2000 standards, ensuring it meets rigorous international safety and quality requirements.
How should I store the web sling?
Store the sling in a clean, dry location away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and chemicals. Avoid storing it loosely on the floor where it could be damaged.
Will this sling rust or corrode?
No, as it is made from 100% polyester, it will not rust or corrode like metal slings, making it easier to inspect and safer to handle.
Troubleshooting
Sling appears worn or damaged
Immediately remove the sling from service and do not use it. Assess the damage; if minor and repairable by a qualified professional according to standards, it may be fixed. Otherwise, replace the sling.
Sling does not fit securely around the load
Ensure the 10-meter length is sufficient for the load's dimensions. Use a longer sling or a different lifting configuration. Check that the load is stable before lifting.
Sling shows signs of chemical staining or degradation
Remove from service. Polyester can be degraded by strong acids or alkalis. If unsure of the chemical involved or the extent of damage, replace the sling.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lighter and easier to handle than chain or wire rope slings.
- Flexible material conforms to load shapes, preventing damage.
- High-visibility red color aids in easy identification and inspection.
- Reinforced eyes provide secure and durable attachment points.
- Meets international safety standards for reliable use.
- Resistant to corrosion and does not weaken significantly with age.
Cons
- Can be susceptible to damage from sharp edges if not properly protected.
- Requires regular inspection for wear and tear, like any lifting equipment.
- Not suitable for extremely high-temperature environments.
- Polyester can degrade over prolonged exposure to certain chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This web sling is designed for immediate use. Ensure the lifting equipment (e.g., crane hook, forklift attachment) is compatible with the reinforced eye diameter (approx. 295mm). Always ensure the sling is positioned correctly around the load and that the load's weight does not exceed the 5-ton SWL.
Compatibility: Compatible with most standard lifting machinery and attachment hardware. For loads with sharp edges, use appropriate edge protectors (sold separately) to prevent cuts and abrasion to the webbing.
Care:
- Inspection: Before each use, visually inspect the entire length of the sling for cuts, tears, abrasion, chemical damage, UV degradation, excessive heat damage, or broken stitching in the eyes.
- Cleaning: Clean the sling using only water and mild soap if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Storage: Store the sling in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, and chemicals. Avoid storing it on the floor where it could be damaged by sharp objects or moisture.
- Load Limits: Never exceed the stated Safe Working Load (SWL) of 5 tons. Remember that the SWL can be affected by the lifting configuration (e.g., choker, basket, vertical hitch). Consult relevant load charts for different hitch types.
