Roundslings are manufactured to BS EN 1492-2, and conform to “The Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulation” 1992 (S 1992/3073) with a safety factor of 7:1. Capacities are colour coded to indicate the working load limit.
Roundslings are manufactured from high tenacity 100% polyester fibre. The load bearing fibres are wound together to form an endless hank. The working load limit is determined by the number of turns in the hank.
The hank is then protected by a polyester, non load bearing, seamless cover. This protects and consolidates the load bearing fibres. Internal damage to these fibres is virtually impossible without first damaging the outer cover.
All slings are individually labelled, captivated in clear plastic sleeve, stating sling number, material, length, date of manufacture and other relevant safety information.
 Advantages
➢ High strength to weight ratio
➢ Light and flexible
➢ Ability to absorb shock loads
➢ Does not damage delicate and painted surfaces
➢ Flattens under load
➢ Twist or kink resistant
➢ Unaffected by grease and oils
➢ No risk of injury to operator
➢ Ideal for choke application
➢ Wears evenly along the length
➢ Load bearing fibres protected from the load, giving greater resistance to wear
➢ Low extension
 Safety requires permanent supervision
We recommend the following procedure:
1. Lay the sling on a flat surface in a well-lit area.
2. Examine the sling throughout its length on both sides for surface chafe, cross or longitudinal cuts or any damage to the eyes, stitching, coupling components or fittings.
3. When not in use, slings should be stored in clean, dry and well-ventilated conditions at ambient temperatures and on a rack away from contact with chemicals.
4. If the outer cover is damaged, always check to ensure that the load bearing fibres are intact.
5. Roundslings can be repaired when damage is restricted to the cover. Return to us for a fully certified and speedy repair service.
