FAQs

What is the Safe Working Load (SWL) of this sling?

The Safe Working Load (SWL) for this duplex web sling is 2 tons (2000 KGS).

How should I inspect the sling for safety?

Visually inspect the entire length of the sling, paying close attention to the eyes, stitching, and the main body. Look for cuts, abrasions, burns, chemical damage, excessive stretching, or frayed threads. If any damage is present, the sling must be removed from service.

Can this sling be used for lifting loads with sharp edges?

While the sling material is flexible, it can be cut by sharp edges. It is highly recommended to use protective sleeves or corner protectors when lifting loads with sharp corners or edges to prevent damage to the sling.

What is the safety factor of this web sling?

This web sling is manufactured with a safety factor of 7:1, meaning its breaking strength is seven times its Safe Working Load.

How do I clean the web sling?

Clean the sling using mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow it to air dry completely before storing or using it again. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents.

What is the difference between duplex and simplex slings?

A duplex sling has two layers of webbing, providing extra strength and abrasion resistance compared to a simplex (single layer) sling. Both ends of a duplex sling are typically attached to a common fitting or loop.

Does the sling weaken over time?

Unlike metal slings, polyester web slings do not weaken with age due to corrosion. However, they can be weakened by UV exposure, chemicals, abrasion, and cuts. Regular inspection is key to safe use.

Troubleshooting

Sling appears to be damaged or worn.

Immediately remove the sling from service. Inspect for cuts, abrasions, chemical damage, or excessive stretching. If damaged, it should be discarded and replaced.

Load slipping or unstable during lift.

Ensure the sling is correctly seated on the load and attachment points. Verify the load is balanced and within the sling's SWL. Consider using a sling with a different configuration or additional securing measures.

Sling is difficult to handle or maneuver.

Ensure you are using the correct lifting technique. Check that the load is not snagged on anything. The inherent flexibility of the web sling should make it manageable; stiffness may indicate improper storage or damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lighter and easier to handle than chain or wire rope.
  • Flexible material conforms to loads without causing damage.
  • Resistant to corrosion and doesn't weaken with age.
  • Reinforced eyes provide secure and durable attachment points.
  • Absorbs shocks for smoother lifting operations.
  • Comes with a test certificate for assurance.

Cons

  • Requires regular visual inspection for wear and tear.
  • Can be cut or abraded by sharp edges if not protected.
  • Not suitable for extreme temperature environments.
  • Limited to its rated safe working load of 2 tons.
  • Requires proper storage to prevent damage from UV or chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Inspect the sling for any signs of damage, cuts, abrasions, or excessive wear before each use.
  2. Ensure the attachment points on the load and the lifting/towing equipment are suitable and free from sharp edges.
  3. Use appropriate lifting techniques (e.g., choker hitch, basket hitch) based on the load and ensure the sling is seated correctly.

Compatibility:

This web sling is compatible with standard lifting and towing hardware such as hooks, shackles, and eye bolts. It is designed for use with loads within its 2-ton (2000 KGS) Safe Working Load (SWL) limit. It is not recommended for use with loads whose temperature exceeds its material limits or for applications involving chemicals that may degrade polyester.

Care:

  • Store the sling in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and chemical exposure.
  • Avoid dragging the sling across rough surfaces. Use protective sleeves or corner protectors when handling loads with sharp edges.
  • Clean with mild soap and water if necessary; rinse thoroughly and air dry completely before storage or use.
  • Regularly inspect for any damage. If damage is found, remove the sling from service immediately.
