TYPES OF WEBSLINGS / inspections and maintenance / safe use
Posted : Thu 1st Oct 2009 @ 12:07TYPES OF WEBSLINGS WE OFFER: ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS NEWS ARTICLE ARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE SAFE USE OF, INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE OF WEBSLINGS.
Webslings are excellent for lifting fragile or smooth objects without risk of damage, and are commonly used with hoists, winches and cranes for lifting heavy loads.
The webslings we supply all conform to DIN-EN-1492-1
The webslings are colour coded to indicate their capacity. (please see chart on the main website.)
High strength to weight ratio, and choice of lifting modes.
HOW TO MEASURE A WEBSLING: A=O.A.L overall length, B=eye length.
Simplex webslings offer a single layer of webbing with soft eyes at each end
Duplex webslings offer two layers of webbing with soft eyes at each end.
Double Duplex webslings offer four layers of webbing to increase tonnage of the sling.
We can also offer a range of metal end fittings which include:-
D-type-non-reevable:
DP-type- allows the sling to be threaded through the metal fitting, usually in a choke lift.
MASTERLINK: used for lifting large objects with multiple lifting points.
This can be made with a variety of end fittings and hooks to suit your application. Comes in a variety of sling length and WLL.
Please contact us or the websling page of the main web site for more information.
Below we have listed the information for the safe use, maintenance and inspections of your webslings, which should always be supplied with your webslings, but often go missing.
