DRUM HANDLING SLINGS

Drum Handling Slings provide an easy, inexpensive way to handle steel drums. Available in two styles to
suit your needs for handling drums in the vertical or horizontal position.

Vertical Drum Handling Slings

drum handling slings
Easily lift standing drums for transport. Tilt suspended
drums to pour from open top or spigot. For use with
ribbed steel drums, the ratcheting belly band tightens
securely below the first rib.
Heavyweight sling (DSV602D) uses 2" polyester sling
webbing and is rated at 850 lbs.
Promotes Safety
A wear pad, sewn on one side of the lifting strap, helps to
   avoid cutting of the sling.
Ratchet tightens securely.
Saves Time
Free end of ratchet strap sewn to stay properly threaded.
Vertical legs sewn to belly band to maintain proper position.
To Order, specify Part No. and drum diameter in inches. i.e.:
DSV602Dx24

(The standard 55 gal. drum has a 24" diameter.)

Horizontal Drum Handling Slings

Ideal for the quick and easy moving of steel drums
in the horizontal position.
Part No. DSH601D uses 1" polyester sling webbing
and is rated at 1,500 lbs.
Promotes Safety
Strong 1" polyester webbing pulls drum hooks securely into
   rims at both ends of the drum during lift.
Saves Time
One sling fits multiple size drums.
Easy to disconnect.
Uses 1/2" oblong link at top for easy connection to hoist hook.
To Order, specify Part No. DSH601D.
Note: If using in a chemical environment,
contact us for sling material advice.

EFFECT OF SLING ANGLE
Using slings at an angle can become deadly if that angle is not taken into consideration when selecting the sling to
be used. The tension on each leg of the sling is increased as the angle of lift, from horizontal, decreases. It is most
desirable for a sling to have a larger angle of lift, approaching 90°. Lifts with angles of less than 30° from horizontal
are not recommended. If you can measure the angle of lift or the length and height of the sling as rigged, you can
determine the properly rated sling for your lift. The Increased Tension method provides the increased tension as a
function of the sling angle. Alternatively, the sling Reduced Capacity method may be used to determine reduced lift
capacity for any angle.
INCREASED TENSION

REDUCED CAPACITY
Calculate rating of each sling
rigged at this angle
1. Determine the load weight (LW). 1. Calculate the reduction factor (RF).
a. Using the angle from horizontal,
    read across the Angle Chart to
    the corresponding number of the
   Reduction Factor column.
2. Calculate the Tension Factor [TF].
a. Determine the sling angle as mea-
    sured from the horizontal, and the
    corresponding tension factor (TF)
    from the effect of angle chart.
-OR-
b. Divide sling height* (H) by sling
    length* (L).
-OR-
b. Length* (L) divided by height*
    (H)
2. Reduction factor (RF) x the sling’s
    rated capacity for the type hitch that
    will be used = sling’s reduced rating.
3. Determine the share of the load
    applied to each sling leg (LW).

4. Multiply (LW) by (TF) to determine
    the sling leg tension. The capacity of
    the selected sling or sling leg must
    meet the calculated tension value.

Example:
Vertical Choker rating of each sling:
6,000 lbs.
Measured Length (L) = 6 ft.
Measured Height (H) = 4 ft.
Reduction Factor (RF) = 4 (H) ÷ 6 (L) = .667
Example:
Load weight = 1,000 lbs.
Rigging - 2 slings in vertical hitch
Lifting Weight (LW) per sling = 500 lbs.
Measured Length (L) = 10 ft.
Measured Height (H) = 5 ft.
Tension Factor (TF) = 10 (L) ÷ 5 (H) = 2.0
Minimum Vertical Rated Capacity required
for this lift = 500 (LW) x 2.0 (TF) = 1000 lbs.
per sling
Sling capacity decreases as the angle
from horizontal decreases. Sling angles
of less than 30° are not recommended.
Reduced sling rating in this configuration
= .667
(RF) x 6,000 lbs. = 4,000 lbs. of lifting
capacity per sling
