synthetic products cannot
be used in application where
temperature exceed 180 degree farenheit (82 degree celsius) or go below -40 degree farenheit (-40 degree celsius).Application outside those parameters can be addressed by consulting us for specific recommendations. |

Chemically active environment can affect the strength of synthetic products in varying degrees from moderate to total degradation.The material used in construction of the sling system must be compatible with the mechanical and environmental requirements imposed.Fumes,spray,mists,vapours and liquids of acids or alkalies can degrade synthetic products.The chemical agents must be identified. |

Slings that are damaged or defective should not be used.
Sling missing tags or with illegible tag information should not be used .
Twisting and kinking the sling legs (Leggedes) should be avoided .Slings should not be tied into knots or joined by knotting .
Slings should not be tied into knots or joined by knotting .
Slings used in a choker hitch should not be forced to tighten around the load by pounding with hammers or other objects.Choker hitches are the least eficient way to use a sling based on work load limit.Two sling should be used to balance the load as one sling used in a choker hitch may create an unbalanced situation which could lead to an accident.
Keep the sling tags and labels away from the load,the hook and the choke action of the sling.
Do not place the load carrying splice in a connection point to the load or in the lifting mechanism.
Slings should not be dragged on the floor or over abrasive surfaces.
Slings should not be pulled from under loads when the load is resting on the sling.
All hooks,shackles and other fittings must be free of sharp edges that could damage the sling.
Slings should be permanently marked with the work load limit for each type of hitch and the material used is the construction of the sling.
Slings should never be used to pull an object in a snagged or constrained condition .Synthetic slings are designed to be stretch;the recoil caused by any sudden release of a lifting constraint could result in a dangerous projection of the load. |
