Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This web sling is designed for immediate use. Ensure the lifting equipment (e.g., crane hook, forklift attachment) is compatible with the reinforced eye diameter (approx. 295mm). Always ensure the sling is positioned correctly around the load and that the load's weight does not exceed the 5-ton SWL.
Compatibility: Compatible with most standard lifting machinery and attachment hardware. For loads with sharp edges, use appropriate edge protectors (sold separately) to prevent cuts and abrasion to the webbing.
Care:
- Inspection: Before each use, visually inspect the entire length of the sling for cuts, tears, abrasion, chemical damage, UV degradation, excessive heat damage, or broken stitching in the eyes.
- Cleaning: Clean the sling using only water and mild soap if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Storage: Store the sling in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, and chemicals. Avoid storing it on the floor where it could be damaged by sharp objects or moisture.
- Load Limits: Never exceed the stated Safe Working Load (SWL) of 5 tons. Remember that the SWL can be affected by the lifting configuration (e.g., choker, basket, vertical hitch). Consult relevant load charts for different hitch types.
