Polyester lifting slings offer several advantages that make them a popular choice in various lifting and rigging applications
Some these advantages are:
- Lightweight and Flexible
- Good Chemical Resistance
- Low Stretch
- Good UV Resistance
- Extremely Cost-Effective
- Ease of Inspection
- Non-Corrosive
- Versatility
- Soft on Loads
In summary, the advantages of polyester lifting slings include their lightweight nature, chemical resistance, low stretch, UV resistance, cost-effectiveness, ease of inspection, non-corrosive properties, versatility, and their gentle handling of loads. These features collectively make polyester slings a reliable and widely used choice in the lifting and rigging industry. It's always best to consult with a knowledgeable professional or manufacturer to ensure you select the appropriate lifting sling for your specific lifting needs.
This will help determine the capacity and size of the sling required. Depending on the nature of the cargo to be lifted always consider they type of material the sling is made of, the type of sling configuration, working load limits, environmental factors and safety regulations.
Several factors should be considered when choosing the right crane rope. Firstly, the maximum working load and breaking strength of the rope should be compatible with the load and lifting capacity of the crane.
Proof testing involves subjecting the sling to loads that exceed its expected operational limits, allowing for the identification of potential defects or weaknesses. This process helps verify the quality of the wire rope sling and provides assurance that it can safely handle the intended workload.
