PERMANENT ID TAGS
Each sling features a tag that provides a durable record of the type and stock number as well as the vertical, choker, and basket hitch rated capacities for the sling. The standard tag is vinyl and can be imprinted with additional information if needed. Leather tags can be provided for an additionalcharge.
Regardless of its construction, each sling must have a tag attached to it. If not, remove the sling from service per OSHA and ASME B30.9 requirements.
SLING REPLACEMENT
Standard in all slings is a red wear warning alert. Inner load bearing yarns carry over 80% of the load. When the protective outer layer of webbing is worn away or damaged, the red yarns of the inner layer are exposed to give a telltale warning. When the red yarns are visible, remove sling from service immediately.
OPTIONAL WEAR PADS
Wear protection is standard only on Types 6 and 7. If planning to use any other slings in damaging conditions, specify optional wear pads when ordering.
Padded slings include a nylon and polyester buffer designed specially for this application. They are also available in synthetic leather that is more economical and stiffer than regular leather or in the same material as the sling body. Other materials may be chosen; please specify when ordering.
