✓ Angle Factor Formula
  • 60°: Factor = 1.0 (Full capacity)
  • 45°: Factor = 1.4 (140% capacity)
  • 30°: Factor = 2.0 (200% capacity)
  • Formula: WLL = SWL × 2 × sin(angle)
🛡️ Safety Factor Explained
SF = Breaking Strength ÷ WLL
What does SF 7:1 mean?
The sling can hold 7 times its Working Load Limit before breaking.
WLL (Working)
1,000 kg
Breaking Strength
7,000 kg
Why SF 7:1?
• Accounts for wear and aging
• Protects against shock loads
• Provides safety margin for angle factors
• Ensures long service life
EN 1492-1: Minimum SF 7:1
ASME B30.9: Minimum SF 5:1
Safety Standards & Compliance
  • EN 1492-1:2000: European standard for textile slings
  • ASME B30.9: American sling standard
  • Safety Factor: Minimum 7:1 (EN) / 5:1 (ASME)
  • Inspection: Before each use and periodic testing
  • Certification: Valid test certificate required
⚠️ Critical Safety Rules
  • Always verify sling label and capacity
  • Account for sling angle reduction factors
  • Inspect for cuts, abrasions, and UV damage
  • Never exceed rated capacity or shock load
  • Store in cool, dry place away from chemicals
  • Protect from sharp edges and heat sources
🚫 Discard Sling Immediately If
  • Color stripe is faded or unreadable
  • Stitching is damaged, broken, or loose
  • Webbing has cuts, tears, or burns
  • Label is missing, illegible, or damaged
  • Exposed to acids, alkalis, or solvents
  • Any doubt exists about sling condition

🎗️ Webbing Sling: Instructions and Recommendations

⚖️

Check Weight

Never exceed colour-coded WLL.

📐

Hitch Configuration

Consider hitch type (straight, choke, basket).

⚖️

Center of Gravity

Check load balance point.

🚫

No Knots

Never tie knots in webbing.

🛡️

Protect from Edges

Use corner protectors always.

🚫

No Twists

Keep sling flat and untwisted.

🌡️

Temperature Range

-40°C to +100°C (Polyester).

🔍

Regular Inspection

Check for cuts, abrasion, chemical damage.

⚠️ WARNING: Chemical & Abrasion Exposure

Consider: Chemical Type • Concentration • Contact Duration • Abrasion Severity

📋 Critical Safety Rules

  • ▶Use only within permissible temperature range (-40°C to +100°C).
  • ▶Protect webbing from sharp edges using sleeves or pads.
  • ▶Never expose slings to chemicals, acids, or oils.
  • ▶DO NOT USE DAMAGED OR FADED SLINGS.
  • ▶Inspect before each use for cuts, abrasion, and UV damage.
  • ▶Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
