Choosing The Appropriate Lifting Sling
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.
Crane Rope Selection
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.
Why Proof Test Wire Rope Slings?
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.
The Advantages Of Polyester Lifting Slings
Polyester lifting slings offer several advantages that make them a popular choice in various lifting and rigging applications
Reasons Why We Lubricate Wire Rope
Wire rope lubrication is important for three main reasons: Reduce friction: Lubrication reduces friction as individual wires move over each other. Protect from corrosion: Lubrication protects the core, wires, and exterior surfaces from corrosion. Prevent abrasive wear: Lubrication prevents abrasive wear. Wire rope lubrication is applied
Destructive Testing
Destructive testing (DT) is a method used to determine the exact point of failure of materials, components, or machines. It's often used to ensure that rigging and lifting components meet specific equipment standards.
