Advantages of Nylon Web Slings
Capacity of web slings in this catalogue are given in pounds. Since lift capacity depends on how the sling is used, separate ratings are given for vertical lifts, choker lifts, and vertical basket lifts. Ratings are based on a 5 to 1 design factor.
Effect of Lifting Angle on Rated Capacity
The increased angle of the sling leg reduces its capacity. See chart for loss factor. Determine the angle between the sling leg and the vertical plane. Then multiply the sling rating by the appropriate loss factor from the chart. This will determine the slings reduced rating.
EXAMPLE:
Assume sling capacity = 2,000#
If Angle = 50° then loss factor = .6428
Multiply: 2,000# x .6428 = 1,286#
- rated capacity of sling at 50°.
CAUTION - Web Slings should not be used beyond Rated Capacities.
TYPE 1 - SEWN TYPE
Sewn Type can be installed on one or both sides.
TYPE 2 - TUBE TYPE
Tube Type replaceable, protects both sides, 2 inches wider than sling.
TYPE 3 - EDGE TYPE
Edge Type protects edges from abrasion and rapid wear.
TYPE 4 - REINFORCED EYE
Sling Eye Reinforcing wear pads may be sewn into Sling Eyes
(in the bearing surfaces) to prolong eye life.
Please Note: All wear pads are available in Nylon Webbing, or other materials.
Order by catalogue code number plus length of sling. Specify wear pad type and material if required.
