Inspection
Criteria for Wire Mesh Slings
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Remove the sling
from service if any of the following is
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 |
|
|
|

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. |

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. |

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. |
