As one of the widely used slings, the sling has the excellent characteristics of soft texture, wear resistance and strong tensile force. Most of the slings on the market are bright and rich in color, but after a period of use, the color will become lighter. Can you continue to use it after it becomes lighter?
Before solving this problem, let's first understand what the color does to the hoisting belt. Hoisting belts are generally divided according to the lifting tonnage. Different tonnages correspond to different colors, for example, purple corresponds to one ton, green corresponds to two tons, yellow corresponds to three tons, etc., and most of the colors are brighter, which is conducive to distinguishing when using. , to ensure the safety of the operation, and it is not easy to cause overload behavior.
The sling is woven from high-strength polyester filaments. Frequent wear and tear during use will cause the color to become lighter, and burrs and thread ends will appear; and most of the places of use are outdoors, and long-term wind and sun exposure will also Accelerates fading, degrades performance, and loses strength and tension. On the other hand, it is not easy for workers to distinguish after the color is degraded. If the tonnage is selected incorrectly, it may cause serious consequences. Therefore, the lighter color of the sling is actually a warning. The performance of the equipment has been degraded for a long time, and the safety is not as good as before, and it needs to be scrapped.
The slings that have become lighter in color must not be used any longer. For the safety of users and the smooth construction, they should be replaced in time.
