*			Always protect roundslings from corners, edges, or protrusions. Refer to the Sling Protection section below to choose the right protection product for your lift.

Sling Protection
CUT AND WEAR PROTECTION

Selection of Sling Protection Products
Sling protection products need to be used in applications where sling damage may occur. Cutting of synthetic slings during use is the number one cause of sling accidents. A variety of factors influence sling protection performance. Since no material is fully cut proof, a qualified person must select materials and methods that adequately protect slings from edges or surfaces. We can assist customers with their product selections.


Cut Protection versus Wear Protection
Our sling protection products are divided into two categories, Cut Protection and Wear Protection. Cut Protection Products are designed to improve workplace safety. When placed between slings and edges, cut protection products act as a buffer to prevent sling cutting and to reduce bearing pressure levels at contact areas. Wear protection products serve to extend sling life by reducing abrasive wear and prevent marring of the load surfaces. The following table provides comparative sling protection performance for standard products.

Performance Rating: The bar graphs shown above reflect the comparative performance of Our Cut Protection
products against commonly used loose and sewn-on types of Wear Protection products.
Test Lift Qualification: To validate the suitability of sling protection products for each application, always
complete one or more test lifts in a non-consequence manner.
Technical Bulletin MS-10 available for additional information.



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 Determine capacity of sling needed		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.		*Measured from a common horizontal plane to the hoisting hook.

Effect of Angle Chart

Tension Factor (TF)	Angle From Horizontal	Reduction Factor (RF)
1.000	90º	1.000
1.004	85º	0.996
1.015	80º	0.985
1.035	75º	0.966
1.064	70º	0.940
1.104	65º	0.906
1.155	60º	0.866
1.221	55º	0.819
1.305	50º	0.766
1.414	45º	0.707
1.555	40º	0.643
1.742	35º	0.574
2.000	30º	0.500

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
