To extend the life of webbing sling, what are the recommended storage conditions?

To prolong the life and maintain the integrity of webbing slings, it's important to store them properly. Here are the recommended storage conditions for webbing slings: Clean and Dry Environment: Store the slings in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated area to prevent moisture build-up, which can lead to mold, mildew, and material degradation. Protection from Sunlight and UV Exposure: Avoid storing slings in direct sunlight or areas with prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. UV exposure can weaken the material over time. If stored outdoors, consider using UV-resistant covers or storing them in shaded areas. Prevent Contact with Chemicals and Corrosive Substances: Keep slings away from contact with chemicals, acids, oils, or any substances that could damage the webbing material. Avoid Sharp Edges and Abrasive Surfaces: Store slings in areas where they won’t come into contact with sharp edges or abrasive surfaces that could cause damage or fraying. Controlled Temperature: Extreme temperatures can affect the material properties. Store slings in areas with controlled temperatures to prevent damage from excessive heat or cold. Proper Coiling or Hanging: webbing slings neatly coiled or hung properly to avoid kinks, twists, or knots in the material. Ensure they are stored in a way that minimizes stress or strain on the webbing and fittings. Elevated Storage: Store slings off the ground to prevent contact with dirt, moisture, or potential contaminants. Consider using suitable storage racks or pallets to keep them elevated. Regular Inspection During Storage: Periodically inspect slings even while they are in storage to ensure they remain in good condition. This helps in identifying any potential damage or issues early on. Follow Manufacturer's Guidelines: Adhere to any specific storage instructions provided by the manufacturer for the particular type of webbing sling. Documentation and Rotation: Keep records of storage, usage, and inspection dates. Rotate slings to ensure that those stored for an extended period are inspected and used regularly to prevent degradation from disuse.
