Draper Wide Load Sling - 4M X 120mm, 4 Tonne

The 4000kg rating is for a straight ('basket') configuration where the load is supported by one loop of the sling. The 8000kg rating is for a 'U' configuration, where the load is cradled between both loop eyes, effectively doubling the capacity due to load sharing.

The sling is color-coded to European standards. While specific colors vary slightly by manufacturer standard, the labeling on the sling or its packaging will indicate the SWL. Always verify the rating before use.

Direct contact with sharp edges can severely damage the webbing. It is strongly recommended to use edge protectors or padding between the sling and the load if sharp edges are present to prevent cutting and premature wear.

'Expert Quality' signifies that the product is manufactured to high standards for professional use, emphasizing durability, reliability, and adherence to safety regulations.

Store the sling in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and chemicals. Hang it to prevent creasing or deformation. Ensure it is clean and dry before storage.

This Draper load sling is manufactured to BS EN1492 standards, ensuring it meets rigorous European safety and quality requirements for lifting slings.

The sling should be visually inspected before every single use. A more thorough inspection should be conducted periodically, especially if the sling is used frequently or in harsh conditions.

Immediately remove the sling from service. Inspect thoroughly for the extent of damage. If significant cuts, abrasions, or degradation are present, the sling should be professionally assessed or discarded.

Ensure the lifting hook or shackle is appropriately sized for the reinforced lifting eye. Check that the eye is not deformed and that there are no twists or knots in the sling.

Re-check the sling configuration and attachment points. Ensure the load is balanced and centered within the sling's capacity. Verify the correct SWL for the chosen configuration and load angle.
