Knowledge Popularization: Standardized Use and Mandatory Scrapping Criteria for Lifting Slings
2025-12-05
The safety management of lifting slings—including webbing slings and chain slings—follows strict usage guidelines and mandatory scrapping standards. Any improper use could lead to serious accidents. The standardized usage requirements include: Before use, a visual inspection must be conducted to check for cuts, abrasions, deformations, or chemical corrosion. When connecting the sling, the correct lifting method must be employed (such as basket-type or wrapped-around methods), and protective measures must be taken to prevent injury from sharp edges of the load. Slings should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated area, avoiding prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Even more critically, once a sling meets the scrapping criteria, it must be immediately removed from service and scrapped without exception. Common criteria for determining whether a sling should be scrapped include: severe wear, cuts, or punctures on the surface; localized fiber breakage or charring in the sling material; unraveling or excessive wear in the stitching; or loss of the sling’s label or inability to read its information. Establishing and enforcing a rigorous management system for sling use and scrapping is an indispensable component of safe lifting operations.
