For a complete review of recommended industry practices, please refer to:

• ASME B30.9 Sling Safety Standard

• OSHA Industrial Slings Regulations (Office of the Federal Register) • Web Sling Tie Down Association Technical Manual

recommended practices

WHAT TO DO

WHAT NOT TO DO

• Make sure load weight is within the sling's rated capacity; slings should be long enough so the rated load is adequate when the sling to load angle is considered

• Select sling characteristics that are suitable for the load, hitch and environment

• Slings with fittings used in a choker hitch should be of sufficient length to ensure choking action is on the webbing, not the fitting

• Balance loads on basket hitch slings to prevent slippage

• Make sure fitting opening shape and size ensure proper seating in the hook and the other attachments • Protect slings from being cut by sharp edges or abrasive surfaces

• Keep tags and labels away from the load, hook and point of choke • Place blocks under a load to allow removal of sling

• Hitch slings so that the load is controlled

• Make sure personnel stand clear of suspended loads and remain alert for snagging • Avoid shock loading

• Avoid twisting and kinking of legs (branches)

• Sling legs (branches) should support the load from the sides above the center of gravity when in a basket hitch

• Center load applied to the hook

• Load slings in excess of rated capacity (consider load angle) • Twist, shorten, lengthen or tie knots in slings

• Drag slings on the floor or abrasive surfaces • Pull slings out from under a load

• Drop slings equipped with metal fittings

• Constrict or bunch slings and labels between the ears of a clevis, shackle, or in a hook • Use slings that appear to be damaged

• Allow personnel to ride the sling or load being lifted • Use slings with illegible tags

SLING CAPACITY DECREASES AS THE ANGLE INCREASES

TYPES OF HITCHES

The rated capacities of the slings in this catalog are given in pounds. Refer to the maximum recommended weight for which the sling is to be used in one of the

standard types of lifts as illustrated.

When slings are used at an angle (i.e. two slings or one sling in a basket attached to only one crane hook), sling capacity is reduced. How much it is reduced depends on the degree of angle. You can determine whether a sling will be rated high enough if you know the angle between the sling leg and the horizontal. Once you know this angle, multiply the sling's rating by the appropriate factor in the table This will give you the sling's reduced rating.

Suitable for most applications.

Suitable for most applications. Polyester stretches less for better load control.

An economical alternative for lighter applications. These nylon web slings have polymer coated yarns woven into the edges to reduce damage and increase life.

Southern Wire can custom print tags in

Polyethylene and leather. Both types have unique qualities, depending upon customer preference.

(private label programs available)

These durable tags are printed on demand by Southern Wire. Polyethylene tags offer customers greater flexibility and can be serialized, customized with company logos, and bar coded; there is no minimum quantity or premium charge for polyethylene tags.

Leather is the most durable of the two tags. Leather tags can be branded with serial numbers and other identifying information specific to your company. It carries a premium charge and can be purchased in any quantity.

Wear protection prolongs the life of the sling, ultimately resulting in cost effectiveness. Southern Wire utilizes four wear materials. Pukka (a 5/16" felt pad, as shown), leather, Cordura, and nylon, which can be used in any of the following configurations:

• Eye or Body Wrapped Slings

• Edge guard treatment, protects from edge abrasion • Lined eye, protects the sling at lifting point

• Velcro sliding pad, easily removable • Sewn-on sleeve, attached to sling • Sliding sleeve, adjustable

caution

• Working loads are recommended guidelines only.

• Specs are based on test of new and unused ropes of current manufacturers. • Once rope is put into service it is continuously deteriorating. • Manila rope will deteriorate in storage even under ideal conditions.

• Diameters are approximate. The reference for rope size is its linear density or weight per unit length.

• Linear Density is considered standard. Tolerances are ± 10% for diameters below 8 mm inclusive; ± 8% for diameters 10-14 mm inclusive; ± 5% for 16 mm diameter and larger.

• Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS) values in individual rope standards are based on data from a number of rope manufacturers and the result of computation by regression analysis.

• The MBS values are based on ropes tested with Eye Splices, making the values approximately 10 % lower than ropes tested without splices. • Working Load Limit (WLL) is determined by dividing the new rope MBS by a selected Design Factor.

rope specifications

minimum tensile strengths Minimum Tensile Strengths

shown are for new (unused) rope and will decrease after use. All tests are performed in accordance with Cordage Institute Standard CI 1500-2. The rope strength will be reduced after use due to heat, abrasion, ultraviolet or chemical exposure. The tensile strengths may be further reduced by up to 50% as a result of knots or kinks. Minimum Tensile Strengths are defined as two standard deviations (typical about 10%) below the average.

maximum Working loads Maximum Working Loads are

determined by dividing the tensile strength by the safety factor. The safety factor is a function of the physical properties of the rope, age and history, the type of service it will be subjected to and the risks involved if failure occurs. For a rope manufacturer to give blanket working load recommendations would be like a car manufacturer giving the "safe driving speed" of their cars. Obviously the conditions of use far outweigh the design characteristics of the rope. Typically safety factors vary from 3:1 (for new rope used in applications with uniform loading and where failure would cause little or no risk to equipment or personnel) to 20:1 (for conditions involving moderate shock loading, possibility of snags or kinks or where failure could cause severe risk to equipment or personnel).

rope Weights Rope Weights shown are average and may

vary plus or minus 5%.

Working elongation Working Elongation is shown from a

preload tension of 200 times the diameter squared per the Cordage Institute Standard.

Size: Diameter and circumference are nominal. A new unused rope in relaxed state will measure larger; loading and use

compacts ropes, sets splices and lessens rope size. This is especially prevalent in sizes above 4" diameter. Published nominal sizes from 4 1/8" and larger represent stabilized or preloaded size.

Weights: Published weights of sizes 1 5/8" – 4" diameter are calculated at linear density under stated preload (200d2₎

ratings based on Design Factor of 5:1

• Minimum Break Load (MBL) in pounds and is determined using spliced test samples in accordance with Cordage Institute 1500-02 – Test Method for Fiber Ropes

• The recommended Design Factor (DF) of 5:1 on this chart is based on several existing lifting sling standards including ASME B30.9. This DF takes into account various factors including the use of HMPE (High Modulus Polyetheylene) fiber which is extremely durable and resistant to repeated high loads. Plasma®_{rope slings have and can be used with different DF ratios: however, this decision}

must be made by a qualified person or designer of the lift in conjunction with the rope manufacturer. Cortland does not recommend the use of slings in a choker hitch at a lifting angle less than 120°.

• MBL rating of a Plasma® rope in a grommet sling form, is created by using the vertical leg MBL multiplied by 1.65. The grommet ratings are conservative and follow the guidelines established by the

Cordage Institute. However, higher ratings may be used after consultation with the manufacturer.

• MBL rating of Plasma® rope endless grommet slings used in a vertical basket life is 1.8 times the vertical grommet MBL rating. This conservative value is used until further testing, especially on Large diameters can be performed. For lift applications or clarifcation, please contact Southern Wire. Cortland does not recommend the use of slings in a choker hitch at a lifting angle less than 120°.
