Roughneck WIRE MESH SLINGS
TYPE 1

Specialty Slings with Particular Properties and Uses

Widely used in metalworking shops and steel warehouses where loads are abrasive, hot or tend to cut web slings.


Select The Proper Mesh		This single 4" wide mesh sling in a choker hitch at load center of gravity provides adequate stability for many structural steel loads.
10 Gage-Heavy Duty	12 Gage-Medium Duty

Features, Advantages and Benefits

Environmental Considerations

Promotes Safety

Wire mesh slings shall not be used at temperatures above 550ºF

Steel construction resists abrasion and cutting

Store in a clean, dry area to avoid corrosive action

Each sling permanently stamped with capacity
and serial number

Good flexibility - grips load's contours

Do not edge load. Full width of mesh must contact load.

Each sling proof tested and certified

How To Order

Saves Money

Specify:

Grips load firmly without stretching -
reduces load damage

1. Mesh Gage (10 or 12)

2. Mesh Width - inches

Resists abrasion and cutting for greater sling life

3. Length - Feet (Bearing point to bearing point)

Low stretch and flexibility reduce load damage

Wide bearing area distributes load to help
avoid load damage

Repairable - thus very cost effective

Alloy steel end fittings - plated for long life

(Choker and Triangle End Fittings)

Wire mesh is zinc plated - resists corrosion

Saves Time

Width of mesh helps control and balance load

End fittings fit most large crane hooks

visible:

A broken weld or brazed joint along the sling edge

A broken wire in any part of the mesh

Reduction in wire diameter of 25% due to abrasion or
15% due to corrosion

Lack of flexibility due to distortion of the mesh

Visible distortion or wear of either end fitting

Cracked end fitting

NOTE: The choker fitting must be positioned against a
load edge or directly on the triangle fitting.

Do not exceed rated capacities. Ratings must be reduced when
slings are used at angles of less then 30º from horizontal. Follow
instructions below.

Call to order

Wire mesh slings with normal usage will eventually need repair and parts replaced. This can be done for relatively
small cost. Wire mesh slings that are repaired are guaranteed to meet or exceed original specifications. Five factories
are strategically located in the U.S. to insure prompt service. We repair all types and brands of mesh slings.

INSPECTION CRITERIA FOR WIRE MESH SLINGS

All slings should be inspected for damage prior to each use to assure that their strength has not been compromised. The following photos illustrate some of the common damage that occurs to indicate that the sling must be taken out of service.

THE DAMAGE: Overloading / Uneven Loading WHAT TO LOOK FOR: Mesh does not lie flat, appears distorted and/or will not bend easily. TO PREVENT: Do not load in excess of rated capacity. Load edges must be straight / flat and in contact with full width of mesh at bearing points.


		THE DAMAGE: Wear WHAT TO LOOK FOR: Flat areas on the individual wires. When wires have lost 25% or more of their original diameter, the sling must be taken out of service. TO PREVENT: Do not drag sling on the ground and do not drag loads over slings. Pad high wear areas.


THE DAMAGE: Corrosion / Heat Damage WHAT TO LOOK FOR: Areas of discoloration. Remove slings with wire diameter reduction of 15% or more. Slings exposed to temperatures of 550° F or more must be removed from service. TO PREVENT: Hang slings for storage away from moisture. Do not use mesh slings above 550° F. Consider using stainless steel mesh.



	THE DAMAGE: Broken Weld or Brazed Joint WHAT TO LOOK FOR: A cracked or separation of the wire at the edge or in the body of the mesh. TO PREVENT: Do not side load mesh. Tension on sling must be distributed evenly across the entire width of the mesh.


THE DAMAGE: Distortion or Wear of End Fittings WHAT TO LOOK FOR: Fittings that do not lie flat or have obvious areas of wear. TO PREVENT: Never lift with fitting against a load edge or set load directly onto sling. Reduce wear by keeping loads within the rated capacity of the sling.

Effect of Angle of Lift on a Sling's Rated Capacity

		DEFINITION

	serves to alert users to potentially hazardous situations which often occur in the use of these products. Failure to read, understand and follow the accompanying instructions on how to avoid these situations could result in death or serious injury.

Using slings at an angle can become deadly if that angle is not taken into consideration when selecting the sling to
be used. The tension on each leg of the sling is increased as the angle of lift, from horizontal, decreases. It is most
desirable for a sling to have a larger angle of lift, approaching 90°. Lifts with angles of less than 30° from horizontal
are not recommended. If you can measure the angle of lift or the length and height of the sling as rigged, you can
determine the properly rated sling for your lift.

What would be the rating of each sling
rigged at this angle?

What capacity sling do I need?

1. Determine the weight that the sling
will be lifting [LW].

1. Calculate the Reduction Factor [RF].

a. Using the angle from horizontal,
    read across the Angle Chart to the
    corresponding number of the
    Reduction Factor column.

2. Calculate the Tension Factor [TF].

a. Using the angle from horizontal,
    read across the angle chart to the
    corresponding number of Tension
    Factor column.

-OR-

b. Divide sling height* [H] by sling
length* [L].

-OR-

b. Divide sling height* [H] by sling
length* [L].

Choker Hitch

Vertical Hitch

2. Reduction Factor [RF] x the sling's
rated capacity for the type hitch that
will be used = Sling's Reduced Rating.

3. Lifting Weight [LW] x the Tension
Factor [TF] = Minimum Sling Rating
for the type of hitch that will be used.

0.574	35°	1.742
0.500	30°	2.000

Example:
Vertical Choker rating of each sling = 6,000 lbs.
Measured Length (L) = 6 ft.
Measured Height (H) = 4 ft.
Reduction Factor (RF) = 4 (H) ÷ 6 (L) = .667
Reduced sling rating in this configuration = .667
(RF) x 6,000 lbs. = 4,000 lbs. of lifting capacity
per sling

Example:
Load Weight = 1,000 lbs.
Rigging - 2 slings in vertical hitch
Lifting Weight (LW) per sling = 500 lbs.
Measured Length (L) = 10 ft.
Measured Height (H) = 5 ft.
Tension Factor (TF) = 10 (L) ÷ 5 (H) = 2.0
Minimum Vertical Rated Capacity required
for this lift = 500 (LW) x 2.0 (TF) = 1,000
lbs. per sling

Sling capacity decreases as the angle
from horizontal decrease. Sling angles
of less than 30° are not recommended.
