Web slings have the ability to elongate, absorbing and minimizing
the effects of heavy shock loads. Nylon slings may stretch 6-8% at
rated capacity, while polyester slings limit stretch to
approximately 3% under similar circumstances. Long life cycles may
be experienced since synthetic web is unaffected by moisture,
mildew, rot and certain chemicals. Polyester should be used in the
presence of acids and nylon should be used where alkalis exist.
Synthetic web slings are manufactured from light or heavy duty
material that has been surface "treated" to improve abrasion
resistance, seal out moisture, and prevent grit from penetrating
the web and causing internal wear. Slings can be fabricated from
single or multiple plies, may include accessories such as
edgeguard, wear pads or sleeves, and are available in several
configurations:
Type 1 : Triangle & Choker (TC) - Hardware on each end produces the most effective choker hitch. Can also be used in vertical and basket hitches. | |
Type 2 : Triangle & Triangle (TT) - Hardware on each end for use in basket or vertical hitch. | |
Type 3 : Flat Eye & Eye (EE) - Popular, versatile sling used in vertical, choker & basket hitches. Easy to remove from underneath loads. | |
Type 4 : Twisted Eye & Eye (EE) - Eyes turned at a right angle to sling body. Forms superior choker hitch & allows better fit on crane hook in basket hitch. | |
Type 5 : Endless (EN) - Economical & adaptable sling with no fixed wear points. Used in all hitches. | |
