FAQs

What is the difference between wire rope slings vs chain slings?

Wire rope slings are constructed from strands of steel wires twisted into a helical shape to create a durable and flexible lifting tool. They are available in a variety of configurations, including single-leg, multi-leg, and braided designs. Chain slings are made of high-strength steel links and are commonly used for lifting heavy and irregular loads in harsh environments. They are available in different grades, with Grade 80 and Grade 100 being the most commonly used for lifting applications. Learn more about the key differences and uses here.


How often should synthetic slings be inspected? 

Typically, synthetic slings have a lifespan of 2-5 years under normal operating conditions. However, this can decrease significantly in high-abrasion or UV-exposed environments. When you receive a new lifting sling, it’s vital to inspect it before putting it into service. Frequent inspections should be done before each use, especially if the sling is subjected to harsh environments or heavy loads. Depending on the frequency of use, more detailed inspections should be conducted periodically – every few months or annually. Understand in depth how long your lifting slings last and how often to inspect them here.









How to maintain your lifting slings for maximum lifespan?

Proper maintenance can significantly extend the life of your lifting sling. Here are a few tips to ensure your slings last as long as possible: 
  • Store slings properly: Keep slings in a clean, dry, and protected area when not in use. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or harmful chemicals.
  • Clean regularly: Wipe down slings after use, particularly in dirty or corrosive environments. For synthetic slings, make sure to remove any substances that could degrade the fibres.
  • Rotate slings: Avoid using the same sling repeatedly for heavy loads. Rotating slings distribute wear more evenly and extend each sling's lifespan.
