IMPORTANT WARNINGS
READ ALL WARNINGS BEFORE USING THIS PUBLICATION
Failure to follow warnings and instructions may result in serious injury or death.
Anyone using this publication must read and understand all warnings and other information listed below and preceding and/or adjacent to the product description. The following apply to all of the products in this catalog. All warning and safety information will be highlighted in red. All products are sold with the express understanding that the purchaser is thoroughly familiar with their correct application and safe use. Use all products properly, in a safe manner and for the application for which they were intended. West Coast Wire Rope & Rigging Inc. assumes no responsibility for the use or misapplication of any product sold by design and use decisions rests with the user. REMEMBER: ANY PRODUCT WILL BREAK IF ABUSED, MISUSED, OVERUSED OR NOT MAINTAINED PROPERLY. Such breaks can cause loads to fall or swing out of control, possibly resulting in serious injury or death as well as major property damage. Therefore: 1. Never exceed the Working Loadlimit(WLL). 2. Match components properly. 3. Keep out from under a raised load. 4. Avoid shock loads. 5. Inspect products regularly. The Working Load Limit is the maximum load which should ever be applied to a product, even when the product is new and when the load is uniformly applied - straight line pull only. Avoid side loading. All catalog ratings are based upon usual environmental conditions, and consideration must be given to unusual conditions such as extreme high or low temperatures, chemical solutions or vapors, prolonged immersion in salt water, etc. Such conditions or high-risk applications may necessitate reducing the Working Load Limit. Working Load Limit will not apply if product has been welded or otherwise modified.
Matching of Components
Components must match. Make certain that components such as hooks, links or shackles, etc. used with wire rope (or chain or cordage) are of suitable material size and strength to provide adequate safety protection. Attachments must be properly installed and must have a Working Load Limit at least equal to the product with which they are used. Remember: Any chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
Raised Loads
Keep out from under raised load. Take notice of the recommendation from the National Safety Council Accident Prevention Manual concerning all lifting operations: All employees working at cranes or hoists of assisting in hooking or arranging a load should be instructed to keep out from under the load. From a safety standpoint, one factor is paramount: Conduct all lifting operations in such a manner, that if there were an equipment failure, no personnel would be injured. This means keep out from under a raised load and keep out of the line of force of any load. Do not operate a load over people. Do not ride on loads.
It would be impossible in the scope of this publication to list all possible dangers and misapplications associated with the use of all products contained herein. However, in order to promote safe rigging habits, the most common hazards associated with the use of these products are outlined.
Working Load Limit

This is the term used throughout the catalog. There are, however, other terms used in the industry which are interchangeable with the term Working Load Limit. These are: WLL, SWL, Safe Working Load, Rated Load Value, Resulting Safe Working Load, and Rated Capacity. Never exceed the Working Load Limit.
Shock Loads
Avoid impacting, jerking or swinging of load as the Working Load Limit could be exceeded and the Working Load Limit will not apply. A shock load is generally significantly greater than the static load. Avoid Shock Loads.
Frequency of inspection will depend on environmental conditions, application, storage of product prior to use, frequency of use, etc. When in doubt, inspect products prior to each use. Carefully check each item for wear, deformation, cracks or elongation - a sure sign of imminent failure. Immediately withdraw such items from service. Rust damage is another potential hazard. When in doubt about the extent of corrosion or other damage, withdraw the items from service. Destroy, rather than discard, items that have been judged defective. They might be used again by someone not aware of the hazard involved.
Regular Inspections
Inspect products regularly for visible damage, cracks, wear, elongation, rust,etc. Protect all products from corrosion. The need for periodic inspections cannot be overemphasized. No product can keep operating at its rated capacity indefinitely. Periodic inspections help determine when to replace a product and reduce rigging hazards. Keep inspection records to help pinpoint problems and to ensure periodic inspection intervals. Due to the diversity of the products involved and uses to which they can be put, it would be counterproductive to make blanket recommendations for inspection procedures and frequency. Best results will be achieved when qualified personnel base their decisions on information from rigging and engineering manuals and on experience from actual use in the field.
DEFINITIONS
Information contained in this catalog is subject to change: all weights and dimensions are approximate. Ratings are stated in short tons (2,000lbs.) or pounds. All dimensions are in inches; all weights are in pounds, unless otherwise. Working Load Limit (WLL) The Working Load Limit is the maximum load which should ever be applied to the product, even when the product is new and when the load is uniformly applied - straight line pull only. Avoid side loading. All catalog ratings are based upon usual environmental conditions and consideration must be given to unusual conditions such as extreme high or low temperatures, chemical solutions or vapors, prolonged immersion in salt water, etc. Never exceed the Working Load Limit. Proof Test Load (Proof Load) The term Proof Test designates a quality control test applied to the product for the sole purpose of detecting defects in material or manufacture. The Proof Test Load (usually twice the Working Load Limit) is the load which the product withstood without deformation when new and under laboratory test conditions. A constantly increasing force is applied in direct line to the product at a uniform rate of speed on a standard pull testing machine. The Proof Test Load does not mean the Working Load Limit should ever be exceeded. Breaking Strength/Ultimate Strength Do not use breaking strength as a criterion for service design purposes. Refer to the Working Load Limit instead. Breaking Strength is the average force at which the product, in the condition it would leave the factory, has been found by representative testing to break, when a constantly increasing force is applied in direct line to the product at a uniform rate of speed on a standard pull testing machine. Proof testing to twice the Working Load limit does not apply to hand-spliced slings. Remember: Breaking Strengths, when published, were obtained under controlled laboratory conditions. Listing of Breaking Strength does not mean the Working Load Limit should ever be exceeded. Design Factor (sometimes referred to as safety factory) An industry term usually computed by dividing the catalog Breaking Strength by the catalog Working Load Limit and generally expressed as a ratio. For example: 5 to 1.
Shock Load A load resulting from rapid change of movement, such as impacting, jerking or swinging of a static load. Sudden release of tension is another form of shock loading. Shock loads are generally significantly greater than static loads. Any shock loading must be considered when selecting the item for use in a system. Avoid shock loads as they may exceed the Working Load Limit.
WORKING LOAD LIMITS

FURTHER EXPLANATIONS AND CAUTIONS IF LIFTING ANGLES ARE INVOLVED
Numerical values published for Breaking Strength and Working Load Limit in the catalog are very specific in one point: They refer to straight, inline pull or force and are obtained under laboratory conditions. There are, however, many applications where a straight line pull is not possible or even desirable. When a tackle block system is reeved, wire rope may be bent over many sheaves; multiple leg wire rope or chain slings involve differing lifting angles; angular loads on shackles or eyebolts alter Working Load Limits of the equipment used. All these and other factors influencing the Working Load Limit must be taken into account when systems are designed and used. The following is an example intended to demonstrate the effects of angles on the Working Load limit.
Effect of Angles on Sling Capacities
The rated capacity of a multiple leg sling is directly affected by the angle of the sling leg with the load. As this angle decreases, the stress on each leg increases with the same load. If the sling angle is known, the capacity can be readily determined by multiplying the slings vertical capacity by the appropriate load angle factor from the table at right.
Example:
A multiple leg sling with a rated capacity of 2000 lb. will have a reduced capacity of 1000 lb. and (2000 x .500) when sling legs are at an angle of 30 with the load.
EYEBOLTS
If a load is applied at an angle, only shoulder nut eyebolts must be used. The Working Load Limits as shown in the tables on page 102 - 103 (drop forged, hot galvanized) of this catalog refer to straight-line pull only. Angular loads on shoulder nut eyebolts reduce the Working Load Limit.
The following table shows reduced Working Load Limit for hot galvanized shoulder nut eyebolts using 45 and 90angles as an example.

WIRE ROPE
IMPORTANT WARNINGS
Failure to follow warnings and instructions can result in serious injury or death.
WIRE ROPE IS A MACHINE. Understand and respect it.

Like any machine, it needs proper care and maintenance for optimal safety and long service life. For a better understanding of wire rope we highly recommend the Wire Rope Users Manual by the American Iron & Steel institute. Excerpts of that manual have been reprinted in the wire rope section of this catalog.
Avoid shock loads.

Avoid impacting, jerking or swinging of load. Working Load limit will not apply in these circumstances because a shock load is generally significantly greater than the static load.
Inspect wire rope regularly.
Refer to the general warnings on page 4 & 5. Rated capacity
Use inspections as guidelines only. Two of the most important prerequisites for inspecting wire rope are technical knowledge and experience. Check the general condition of the wire rope. Also, look for localized damage and wear, especially at wire rope attachments. Inspect all parts that come in contact with the wire rope. Poor performance of wire rope can often be traced back to worn or wrong-sized sheaves, drums, rollers, etc.. Look for kinks, broken wires, abrasions, lack of lubrication, rust damage, crushing, reduction of diameter, stretch or other obvious damage. If any of these conditions exists or if there is any other apparent damage to the wire rope, retire the wire rope according to the instructions below. When in doubt about the extent of the damage, retire the wire rope in question immediately. Without laboratory analysis, it is impossible to determine the strength of damaged or used wire. Thus, you will not be able to tell whether wire rope with any amount of damage is safe to use. Retire the wire rope that is damaged. For specific inspection procedures check various OSHA and ANSI publications.
These warnings also apply to wire rope. Only additional warnings and information are listed below. Rated capacity is the load which a new wire rope may handle under given operating conditions and at assumed design factor. A design factor of 5 is chosen most frequently for wire rope. (operating loads not to exceed 20% of catalog Breaking Strength.) Operating loads may have to be reduced when life, limb or valuable property are at risk or other than new rope is used. A design factor of 10 is usually chosen when wire rope is used to carry personnel. (Operating loads not to exceed 10% of catalog Breaking Strength.) Responsibility for choosing a design factor rests with the user.
Attachments must have at least the same Working Load Limit as the wire rope used.
Destroy, rather than discard, wire rope to be retired.
Clips, sockets, thimbles, sleeves, hooks, links, shackles, sheaves, blocks, etc. must match in size, material and strength to provide adequate safety protection. Proper installation is crucial for maximum efficiency and safety.
Wire rope that is not destroyed might be used again by someone not aware of the hazard associated with that use. Destroying wire rope is best done by cutting it up into short pieces.
Keep out from under a raised load.
Refer to General Information on Wire Rope
for important characteristics and properties of wire rope.
Do not operate load over people. Do not ride on load. Conduct all lifting operations in such a manner that if equipment were to fail or break, no personnel would be injured. This means KEEP OUT FROM UNDER A RAISED LOAD, DO NOT OPERATE LOADS OVER PEOPLE AND KEEP OUT OF THE LINE OF FORCE OF ANY LOAD.

WIRE ROPE
INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
2
The primary factor in wire rope performance is selecting a wire rope with the best combination of properties for the job. The service life of that rope can be greatly extended by following a planned program of installation, operation, maintenance and inspection to avoid the most common causes of wire rope failure: KINKING will result in permanent rope deformation and localized wear. It is generally caused by allowing a loop to form in a slack line and then pulling the loop down to a right permanent set. OVERLOADING results in accelerated wear, abrasion, rope crushing and distortion on drums and sheaves, and could result in complete rope failure. DRAGGING wire rope over a bank or some other object results in localized wear, which means shorter life. IMPROPER SPOOLING results in crushed and distorted ropes and comes from careless installation and operation of the rope. WHIPPING a line, which results in many squared off broken wires, comes from jerking or running the line loose. The following recommendations are general guides for getting the longest life from your wire rope. West Coast Wire Rope representatives are available to provide advice in specific situations. Our technology and experience are as close as your telephone. Unloading, Unreeling and Uncoiling Suitable precautions should be taken to prevent dropping of reels or coils during unloading and moving. If the reel should collapse, it may be impossible to remove the rope without serious damage. A coil should be unwound by rolling along the floor like a hoop. Coils should never be laid flat and the free end pulled out. Winding on a Drum
Proper practices for transferring rope form reel to drum: The reel should be placed as far from the drum as possible in order avoid putting any turn into the rope. Rope should be wound from top-to-top or bottom-to-bottom to avoid reverse bends, which tend to make a rope harder to handle. Use enough tension to avoid kinking. There is usually only one way to install rope on a grooved drum.
Special care should be taken in unreeling wire rope to avoid kinking, which can result in permanent damage to the rope. The reel should be mounted on jacks or a turntable so that it will move freely. It should be unreeled straight and under enough tension to keep it from starting a loop.
On ungrooved drums, the rule of thumb guides installation. The first represents the drum; the index finger the wire rope; and the thumb the direction of the proper dead end location. use the right hand for right lay ropes, left hand for left lay ropes. For overwinding, the palm is down; for underwinding, the palm is up. Most drum anchors are set for right lay rope since it is the most common specification. 15
WIRE ROPE
On installations where the rope passes over a sheave onto the drum, the maximum fleet angle (angle between the center line of the sheave and the rope) should be not more than 1 1/2 degrees for a smooth-faced drum and 2 degrees for a grooved drum. A 1 1/2 degree fleet angle is equivalent to 38 feet of lead for each foot of rope travel on either side of the center line of the sheave. Smaller fleet angles may result in the rope piling up on the durm. Larger fleet angles may cause excessive wear from rubbing against the flanges of the sheave as well as excessive crushing and abrasion of the rope on the drum. Crane ropes will fatigue at an equalizer sheave. Careful inspection is required to identify fatigue points. Hoist ropes will frequently fail from vibration fatigue at sockets,clips and dead end points. On most installations, wear and fatigue are more severe on one half of the rope than the other. Changing a rope end-for-end more evenly distributes wear and fatigue from repeated bending and vibration. Lubrication Factory lubrication is not always sufficient to last the useful life of wire rope. Periodic field lubrication may be required to minimize friction and provide corrosion protection. Important guides for field lubrication. Ropes should be inspected frequently to determine the need for lubrication. Clean the rope thoroughly with a wire brush, scraper or compressed air to remove foreign material and old lubricant from the valleys between the strands and the spaces between the outer wires. The lubricant should be applied at a point where the rope is being bent in order to promote penetration within the strands. It may be applied by pouring, dripping or brushing. Used motor oil is not recommended as a wire rope lubricant. Measuring Wire Rope
Break In A few trips through the working cycle at slow speed and light load will set the strands firmly in place for smooth, efficient operation. On applications using a wedge socket, such as drag and hoist ropes, it is also a good idea to cut off a short section of rope to allow twist to run out and to equalize the strands. Operation Skillfull operation is important to wire rope performance. Rapid acceleration, shock loading and excessive vibration can cause premature rope failure. Smooth, steady application of power by the equipment operator can add significantly to wire rope service life. Shifting Wear Points Some sections of most wire ropes get more wear than others. A regular inspection program will identify points of wear and lead to wear-shift practices that will extend wire rope life. In many commom situations, cutting off short lengths of the rope will redistribute the points of maximum wear: Rope on a drum with two or more layers will wear at the point where the rope starts each successive layer.
The diameter if a wire rope is the diameter of the smallest circle which will enclose all the strands. Measurements should be made to the outer wires.

Matching the Wire Rope with Sheaves and Drums The ratio of the diameter of the wire rope to the diameter of operating sheaves and drums (D/d ratio) is particularly important to service life. A sheave or drum that is too small for the rope diameter will cause premature failure due to bending stresses.
Efficiency falls as the D/d ratio becomes smaller. This curve, based on static test data only, illustrates the decline of bending efficiency for 6 x 19 and 6 x 37 classifications ropes as the D/d ratio is reduced. Other Sheave Diameter Factors values Suggested Minimum D/d* Ratios are *D-Sheave Tread Diameter d-Nominal perRope Construction Minimum mitted 6x7 42 by 19 x 7 34 vari6 x 19 S 34 ous 6 x 21 FW 30 stan6 x 25 FW 26 dards. 6 x 36 WS 23 For exam8 x 25 FW 21 ple 6 x 41 WS 21 ASME B 30.5 allows minimum hoist rope D/d ratio of 18 and boom hoist rope D/d ratio of 15. To calculate the recommended or minimum sheave diameter for any given rope, find the rope construction and multiply the rope diameter by the value shown. (Ex.; Recommended sheave diameter for a 6 x 19 classification wire rope of 3/4 diameter would be 51 x .75 = 38 1/4) Rope speed also affects fatigue life. Higher operating rates require larger sheaves. Reverse bends from one sheave to another should be avoided. Other factors that affect bending fatigue life are load, number of cycles and condition of the sheaves and drums. Consult the wire rope manufacturer for recommendations. 17
Service life increases as the D/d ratio becomes larger. This curve, based on bending and tensile stresses only, illustrates the relative performance increase.
Matching Grooves to the Wire Rope Grooves should be spaced so that one wrap of rope does not rub against the next wrap during operation. Grooves in sheaves and drums should be slightly larger than the wire rope to permit the rope to adjust itself to the groove. Tight grooves will cause excessive wear to outer wires; large grooves do not support the rope properly. Wire ropes are manufactured slightly larger than nominal size. maximum allowable oversize tolerances are shown in the following table.

WIRE ROPE
As a rope is run through a groove, both become smaller. A used goove can be too small for a new rope; thus accelerating rope wear. A compromise between rope life and machining frequency must be made.
The lenth of rope that caan be wound on a drum or reel may be calculated as follows. L= lenth of rope in feet. All other dimensions are in inches. L = (A + D) x A x B x K Grooves should have an arc of contact with the wire rope between 135 and 150 degrees. They should be tapered to permit the rope to enter and leave the groove smoothly. Field inspection groove guages are made to the nominal diameter of the rope plus 1/2 of the allowable rope oversize tolerance. When the field inspection guage fits perfectly, the groove is at the minimum permissible contour. K=Constant obtained by dividing .2618 by the square of the actual rope diameter. A = H - D - Desired clearance, in inches. 2 B = Traverse in inches. D = Barrel Diameter in inches. H = Flange Diameter in inches. L = Rope length in feet.

INSPECTION AND WIRE ROPE AND STRUCTURAL STRAND

Wire Rope Carefully conducted inspections are necessary to ascertain the condition of wire rope at various states of its useful life. The object of wire rope inspection is to allow for removal of the rope from service before the ropes condition, as a result of usage, could post a hazard to continued normal operations. The individual making the inspection should be familiar with the product and the operation as his judgment is a most critical factor. Various safety codes, regulations, and publications give inspection requirements for specific applications. The following inspection procedure, taken from the ASME B-30 series, serves as a model of typical inspection requirements. Frequent Inspection All running ropes an slings in service should be visually inspected once each working day. A visual inspection consists of observation of all rope and end conections which can reasonably be expected to be in use during daily operatons. These visual observations should be concerned with discovering gross damage such as listed below, which may be an immediate hazard: Distortion of the rope such as kinking, crushing, unstranding, birdcaging, main strand displacement or core protrusion. General Corrosion. Broken or cut strands. Number, distribution and type of visible broken wires. Lubrication Special care should be taken when inspecting portions subjected to rapid deterioration such as flange points, crossover points and repetitive pickup points on drums. Special care should also be taken when inspecting portions subjected to rapid deterioration such as flage points, crossover points and repetitive pickup points on drums. Special care should also be taken when inspecting certain ropes such as: Rotation-resistant ropes such as 19x7 and 8x19, because of their higher susceptibility to damage and increased deterioration when working on equipment with limited design parameters. Boom hoist ropes because of the difficulties of inspection and important nature of these ropes. When damage is discovered, the rope should either be removed from service or given an inspection as detailed in the section below. Periodic inspection The inspection frequency should be determined by a qualified person and should be based on such factors as: expected rope life as determined by experience on the particular installation or similar installations, severity of environment , percentage of capacity lifts, frequency rates of operation, and exposure to shock loads. Periodic inspections with a signed report should be performed by an appointed or authorized person. This inspection should cover the entire lenth of rope. The individual wire in the strands of the rope should be visible to this person during the inspection. Any deterioriation resulting in appreciable loss of original strength, such as described below, should be noted and determination made as to whether further use of the rope would constitute a hazard: Distortion of the rope such as kinking, birdcaging, crushing, unstranding, main strand displacement, or core protrusion. Reduction of rope diameter below normal diameter due to loss of core support, internal or external corrosion, wear of outside wires. Severely corroded or broken wires at end connetions. Severely corroded, cracked, bent, worn, or improperly applied end connections. Lubrication. Special care should be taken when inspecting portions subjected to rapid deterioration such as the following: Portions in contact with saddles, equalizer sheaves, or other sheaves where rope travel is limited. Portions of the rope at or near terminal ends where corroded or broken wires may protrude. Rope Replacement No precise rules can be given for determination of the exact time for replacement of rope, since many variable factors are involved. Continued use in this respect depends largely upon good judgment by an appointed or authorized person in evaluating remaining strength in a used rope, after allowance for deterioration disclosed by inspection. Continued rope operation depends upon this remaining strength. Conditions such as the following should be sufficient reason for questioning continued use of the rope or increasing the frequency of inspection. In running ropes, six randomly distributed broken wires in one lay, or three broken wires in one strand in one lay. (The number of wire breaks beyond which concern should be shown varies with rope usage and construction. For general application 6 and 3 are satisfactory. Ropes used on overhead and gantry cranes (as defined in ASME B-30, 2-1983) can be inspected to 12 and 4. Rotation resistant ropes should be inspected to 4 and 2.) 19
WIRE ROPE
INSPECTION OF WIRE ROPE AND STRUCTURAL STRAND
Wire rope removal criteria are based on the use of steel sheaves. If synthetic sheaves are used, consult the sheave or equipment manufacturer. One outer wire broken at the contact point with the core of the rope which has worked its way out of the rope structure and protrudes or loops out from the rope structure. Wear of one-third the original diameter of outside individual wires. Kinking, crushing, birdcaging, or any other damage resulting in dstortion of the rope structure. Evidence of any heat damage from any cause. Valley breaks. Reductions from nominal rope diameter of more than: Inspection records Frequent inspection-no records required. Periodic inspection: In order to establish data as a basis for judging the proper time for replacement a signed report of rope condition at each periodic inspection should be kept on file. This report should include points of deterioration previously described. A long range inspection program should be established and include records of examination of ropes removed from service so a relationship can be established between visual observation and actual condition of the internal structure. Galvanized Structural Wire Strand Carefully conducted inspections performed and recorded on a regular basis are necessary to ascertain the condition of structural strand at various stages of its useful life. The object of inspection is to allow for removal of the strand from service before its condition, as a result of usage, could pose a hazard to continued normal operations. The individual making the inspection should be familiar with the operation, as his judgment is a most critical factor. Special care should be taken at end terminations or at dampener devices, as these are generally the most critical areas. Conditions such as corrosion, number, type and distribution of broken wires, and diameter reduction should be evaluated and compared with previous inspection results. The actual condition of the strand and inspection history together can then be used to decide if continued use of the product is advisable.
Reduction of

Nominal Rope Diameters

Up to & inc. 5/16" Over 5/16" thru 1/2" Over 1/2" thru 3/4" Over 3/4" thru 1-1/8" Over 1-1/8"
In standing ropes, more than two broken wires in one lay in section beyond end connections or more than one broken wire at an end connection. Replacement rope shall have a strength rating at least as great as the original rope furnished by the equipement manufacturer or as originally specified. Any deviation from the original size, grade, or construction shall be specified by the equipment manufacturer, original design engineer, or a qualified person. Ropes not in regular use All rope which has been idle for a period of a month or more due to shutdown or storage of equipment on which it is installed should be given inspections as previously described before being placed in service. This inspection should be for all types of deterioration and should be performed by an appointed or authorized person.
Note: Special methods and techniques may be used by wire rope engineers or qualified persons to determine the possible existence of internal corrosion or broken wires in structural strand or similar conditions which may exist out of sight in terminal connections. Example:Wire breaks may sometimes occur just inside the nose of the socket making visual inspection difficult. Judgments on wire integrity can be made by tapping or sounding the wire by a person exprienced in this inspection technique. If you have doubt about the method to use for inspectiom or the condition of the strand or fitting, contact your nearest West Coast Wire Rope location.

Figure 1. NOMINAL SLING STRENGTH is based upon the nominal (catalog) rope strength of the wire rope used in the sling and other factors which affect the overall strength of the sling. These other factors include splicing efficiency, number of parts of rope in the sling, type of hitch (e.g. straight pull, choker hitch, basket hitch, etc.), diameter around which the body of the sling is bent (D/d) and the diameter of pin used in the eye of the sling (Figure 1).
**Percent of sling rated capacity in a choker hitch.
CHOKER HITCH configurations affect the rated capacity of a sling. This is because the sling leg or body is passed around the load, through one end attachment or eye. The contact of the sling body with the end attachment or eye causes a loss of sling strength at this point. If a load is hanging free, the normal choke angle is approximately 135 degrees. When the angle is less than 135 degrees an adjustment in the sling rated capacity must be made (Figure 3). As can be seen, the decrease in rated capacity is dramatic. Choker hitches at angels greater than 135 degrees are not recommended since they are unstable. Extreme care should be taken to determine the angle of choke as accurately as possible. NOMINAL SPLICE EFFICIENCY is the efficiency of the sling splice. Any time wire rope is disturbed such as in splicing an eye, the strength of the rope is reduced. This reduction must be taken into account when determining the nominal sling strength and in calculating the rated the capacity. Each type of splice has a different efficiency, thus the difference in rated capacities for different types if slings. Nominal splice efficiencies have been established after many hundreds of tests over years of testing.
Figure 2. SLING ANGLE is the angle measured between a horizontal line and the sling leg of the body. This angle is very important and can have a dramatic effect on the rated capacity of the sling. As illustrated above, when this principle applies whether one sling is used to pull at an angle, in a basket hitch or for multi-legged bridle slings. Sling angles of less than 30 degrees are not recommended.
Figure 4. D/d ratio is the ratio of the diameter around which the sling is bent divided by the body diameter of the sling (Figure 4). This ratio has an effect on the rated capacity of the sling only when the sling is used in a basket hitch. Tests have shown that whenever wire rope is bent around a diameter the strength of the rope is decreased. Figure 5 illustrates the percentage of decrease to be expected. 38
Figure 3.
SLINGS WIRE ROPE

GENERAL INFORMATION
This D/d ratio is applied to wire rope slings to assure that the strength in the body of the sling is at least equal to the splice efficiency. When D/d ratios smaller than those listed in the rated capacity tables are necessary, the rated capacity of the sling must be decreased. RATED CAPACITY is the maximum static load a sling is designed to lift. The tables give rated capacities in tons of 2000 pounds. Rated capacities contained in all the tables were calculated by computer. Each value was calculated starting with the nominal component rope strength and working up from there. Due to computer rounding of numeric values, rated capacity values for 2, 3 or 4 leg slings may not be even multiples of single leg values and may differ by a small amount. This represents the stateof-the-art technology and tables found in other publications which differ by this small amount should not be construed to be in error. The difference is generally no more than one unit for any sling diameter. When a wire rope is bent around any sheave or other circular object, there is a loss of strength due to this bending action. As the D/d ratio becomes smaller this loss of
Figure 7. PROOF LOAD is a specific load applied o a sling or assembly in a non-destructive test to verify the workmanship of the sling. All swaged socket or poured socket assemblies should be proof loaded. The proof load is generally two (2) times the vertical rated capacity for mechanical splice slings. The maximum proof load for hand tucked slings is 1.25 times the vertical rated capacity. Care should be taken to assure that sling eyes are not damaged during the proof load. EYE DIMENSIONS are generally eight (8) sling body diameters wide by sixteen (16) body diameters long. Whenever possible thimbles are recommended to protect the rope in the sling eye. Eye dimensions for thimbles are contained in table 2. Table 2 contains only dimensions for thimbles used in standard single part slings. Other specialized thimbles are available. Consult your sling manufacturer for details. PIN DIAMETER should not be any greater than the natural width of the sling eye. For any sized eye and type of sling body, the maximum allowable pin diameter may be calculated as follows. Maximum pin diameter = (2L + W) x 0.2 Where L = length of eye W = width of eye The minimum pin diameter should never be smaller than the nominal sling diameter. GRADE & CONSTRUCTION of wire rope for slings is generally accepted to be bright Improved Plow Steel or Extra Improved Plow Steel grade 6x19 or 6x37 classification regular lay. IWRC rope has a higher rated capacity than Fiber Core rope for mechanically spliced slings, but the same rated capacity for hand tucked slings. This is because when making a hand tucked splice, the core (IWRC) of the 39
Figure 5. strength becomes greater and the rope becomes less efficient. This curve, derived from actual test data, relates the efficiency of a rope to different D/d ratios. This curve is based on static loads only and applies to 6X19 and 6X37 class ropes.

SLINGS WIRE ROPE

GENERAL INFORMATION
rope is cut in the splice area and doesnt add to the overall strength of the sling. Rated capacities of slings using galvanized rope depend on the method of galvanizing. The sling manufacturer should be consulted regarding rated capacities for these types of slings. A forming tuck is made by prying two adjacent strands apart, inserting a dead end strand into the opening and passing the strand under one, two, or three adjacent strands in the body of the rope. The dead end strand is set or locked tightly. A full tuck is made by inserting a dead end strand under and rotating in one full 360 degrees turn around and strand in the body of the wire rope. The tucked strand is set or locked tightly. Each subsequent full turn of the dead end strand around the live end strand constitutes an additional full tuck. Setting or locking of a dead end strand is accomplished by pulling the strand end in under considerable force. A marlin spike is inverted in the same opening in the body of the rope ahead of the tucked strand and is rotated about the axis of the rope back to the start of the tuck. Certain end useages may indicate the desirability of special splices such as the Navy Admiralty Splice or logging splice. Splices made by these special methods may also attain the efficiencies used in calculating the rated capacity tables where the rope quality and number of tucks are equivalent to that outlined above. Development of such efficiencies should be confirmed by the sling fabricators making such splices. Serving or wrapping of wire rope sling splices does not affect the splicing efficiencies nor rated capacities. Such servings are optional, although unserved splices are preferred because they permit visual inspection of the spliced area. NOMINAL SPLICE EFFICIENCIES are measured in terms of efficiency (where efficiency = actual breaking strength of spliced termination divided by actual breaking strength of the rope). The efficiency will change from splice to splice because of the many variable factors involved in producing the splice. Splice efficiencies given in table 3 were established so that these normal variations are accommodated. The design factor used in establishing the rated capacities further assures that the sling will lift the load even in those rare instances when the splice efficiency falls slightly below the values given in the tables. Rated capacities shown in this manual have met with the most exacting test, that of the test of time and use in over fifty years of actual field experience.
MINIMUM SLING BODY LENGTH is the minimum length of wire rope between splices, sleeves or fittings. Generally the minimum body length is equal to ten (10) times the sling body diameter. This allows approximately one and one half (1 1/2) rope lays between splices. For multi-part slings the minimum body length between splices is equal to forty (40) times the component rope diameter. LENGTH TOLERANCE is generally plus or minus two (2) body diameters, or plus or minus 0.5% of the sling length, whichever is greater. The legs of bridle slings, or matched slings are normally held to within one (1) body diameter. Tolerances on poured or swaged socket assemblies are generally much closer. Tolerances should always be specified to the sling manufacturer before the order is placed. This eliminates a lot of frustration and confusion later. HAND TUCKED SPLICE A HAND TUCKED splice is made by passing the wire rope around a thimble or forming an eye and splicing the dead end (short end) into the live and (long end) of the rope. Normally, each dead end strand is given one forming tuck and three full tucks around the same strand in the body of the rope. One additional full tuck is made when splicing more pliable wire ropes such as 6X37 classification.

GENERAL PRECAUTION for hand tucked slings are about the same as for any other type of sling. The use of a swivel on a single leg lifts as well as free hanging loads which may rotate is not recommended. A tag line should always be used to prevent rotation of the sling body. When the sling body of a hand tucked splice is allowed to rotate, the splice could unlay and pull out, thus causing the load to drop. MECHANICAL SPLICE MECHANICAL SPLICE slings come in two basic types. One being the Returned Loop and the other the Flemish Eye or farmers splice. In either case, the splice is completed by pressing (swaging) one or more metal sleeves over the rope juncture. The returned loop is fabricated by forming a loop at the end of the rope, sliding one or more metal sleeves over the short end of the loop eye and pressing these sleeves to secure the end of the rope to the sling body. This makes an economical sling and in most cases one that will give satisfactory service. A drawback to this type of sling is that the lifting capacity of the sling depends 100% upon the integrity of the pressed or swaged joint. Should the metal sleeves(s) fail, the entire eye will also fail. The flemish eye splice is fabricated by opening or unlaying the rope body into two parts, one having three strands and
the other having the remaining three strands and the core. The rope is unlayed far enough back to allow the loop or eye to be formed by looping one part in one direction and the Flemish eye spliceother part in the other direction and laying the rope back together. The strands are rolled back around the rope body. A metal sleeve is then slipped over the ends of the splice and pressed (swaged) to secure the ends to the body of the sling. Nominal splice efficiencies expressed in table 4 and in the rated capacity tables are based on this splicing method. Splice efficiencies for other splicing methods should be confirmed by the sling manufacturer.

Notice that the splice efficiency factor plays no role in the calculation of the Choker Hitch rated capacity. This is because as the rope passes through the eye of the sling in a choke, the weakest part of the sling is in the body of the sling at the choke point. Thus the splice being higher in efficiency, has no effect on the rated capacity, because the efficiency factors are not additive. Rated capacities for single part, choker and basket hitches are calculated exactly the same as for hand tucked slings except for the nominal splice efficiencies. The rated capacities adjustment table 1 for choker hitches also applies for mechanical spliced slings. Minimum D/d ratio for basket hitches is 25. This larger D/d ratio is required because the Nominal Splice Efficiency is higher. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS Are no different from other slings except care should be taken not to deform or damage the sleeve. Stainless Steel slings which have sleeves made of a different grade or type metal than the rope body may experience accelerated deterioration due to an electro chemical reaction between the two metals. This is particularly evident in salt water or brackish conditions.
ZINC OR RESIN POURED SOCKET TYPE TERMINATIONS While some people may debate whether zinc or resin poured sockets are truly slings, they are generally included in the sling category. This type of termination has traditionally been the method for determining the ropes actual breaking strength. All other types of end terminations have been compared to poured sockets. Their efficiency is therefore established to be 100% for all grades and constructions of rope. Choker hitches are not used as much with poured sockets as which the other more general types of slings. When such slings are used in a choker hitch, the rated capacity adjustment table 1 applies. Rope assemblies with poured attachments are generally used as a straight tension member where the rope body does not contact the load and is otherwise kept free from distortion or physical abuse. In such cases the minimum recommended design factor is 3.0. If the assembly is used as a sling then a design factor of 5.0 should be used to calculate the rated capacity. Rated capacities for these slings used in basket hitches are the same as mechanical spliced slings and use the same D/d ratio factors.
42
SLINGS WIRE ROPE

GENERAL INFORMATION
Length tolerances or poured attachments can be somewhat more stringent than other types of slings. The manufacturer should be contacted and agreement reached before the order is placed. Tolerance as small as plus or minus 1/8 is not out of the ordinary for this type of assembly. Specifications such as type of fitting, pin orientation, whether zinc or resin is to be used and type of application should also be supplied to the manufacturer when ordering these types of assemblies. Those inexperienced in the socketing process should not try to fabricate assemblies without first getting expert training. It is far better to leave fabrication of this type of assembly to the experts. The following socketing methods are general in nature and have withstood the test of time. Slight variations to these methods will produce equal results. The two procedures, while achieving the same end result, differ significantly. It is highly recommended that all poured sockets whether they be zinc or resin, be proof loaded. CABLE-LAID WIRE ROPE SLINGS Cable-laid slings are fabricated from a machine made rope compromised of seven small wire ropes. The cable-laid body is typically 7x7x7, 7x7x19, 7x6x19, 7X6X36 Classification IWRC. This construction makes for a pliable rope and sling. These slings are used where flexibility and resistance to kinking and setting are more important than resistance to abrasion. Since the rope is made up of many smaller wire ropes, the slings can bend around smaller diameters without taking a permanent set or a kink. The many small wires are susceptible to abrasion. The rated capacity adjustment Table 1 for choker hitches applies to cable-laid slings as well. Note the difference in the efficiency factor for calculating vertical choker hitch rated capacities. Rated capacity for a basket hitch is based on a D/d ratio of 10, where d is the diameter of the cable-laid fabric. Tolerances and minimum sling lengths are also figured using the cable-laid fabric diameter. BRAIDED MULTI-PART SLINGS Multi-part braided slings or Multi-parts as they are known, are generally hand fabricated slings which are braided from 2,3,4 and up to as many as 48 pieces or parts of rope. Generally 4,6,8&9 parts are the more common. They can be either flat or round and offer the ultimate in flexibility and versatility. These are truly the heavy weights of the lifting industry. This book covers only the round type slings. They snug up tightly to the load in a choker hitch and resist kinking and setting. Loads in excess of 4000 tons have been lifted with multi-part slings. Nominal Splice Efficiency for multi-part slings is 0.70 for component rope 3/32 through 2 diameters. For larger component rope slings, consult the sling manufacturer for splice efficiencies. Because of the multi-rope component construction, multipart slings react differently than standard wire rope slings in a choker hitch therefore the nominal splice efficiency is present in the equation. The adjustment Table 1 applies to multi-part slings also. Rated capacity for a basket hitch is based on a minimum D/d ratio of 25, where d=component rope diameter. Length tolerances for component ropes of 3/8 diameter and smaller are plus or minus 10 component rope diameters, or plus or minus 1.5% of the sling length whichever is greater. The legs of matched slings shall be within 5 component rope diameters of each other. For component rope diameters 7/16 and larger, the tolerance is plus or minus 6 component rope diameters, or plus or minus 1% of the sling length whichever is the greater. Legs of matches slings shall be within 3 component rope diameters of each other. Minimum Sling Length between loops, sockets of sleeves is recommended to be 40 times the component rope diameter of the braided body. GROMMETS Grommets are a unique type of sling. They form a complete circle and automatically double the number of lifting legs. Several types are available, such as strand laid hand tucked and cable laid mechanical. Grommets work well in basket and choker hitches and general applications will find them used in this manner. Another unique advantage to grommets is that the load contact points may be rotated or moved around the sling to even out the wear points. The only area that should not come into contact with the load is the splice area. The sling manufacturer will usually mark the area of hand tucked grommets with paint to help the user more easily identify the splice area. Tolerances for grommets are generally plus or minus 1% of the circumferential length or 6 body diameters whichever is the greater. A minimum circumference of 96 body diameters is recommended. This measurement is normally an inside circum43

ferential measurement. The requirement for a minimum circumference of 96 times the body diameter for grommets and endless slings was based on the requirement to have at least three free rope lays on either side of the tuck of a hand spliced endless grommet prior to being bent around a hook or pin five times the body diameter. To eliminate the possibility of confusion, this requirement was adopted for mechanically spliced endless grommets as well. consult the sling manufacturer for smaller circumferences. The same general precautions apply to grommets as apply to all other types of slings. However, it should be noted that since a grommet is a continuous circle, the noted D/d ratio becomes a very important consideration. The D/d ratio must be applied to the lifting pins as well as the load. normally the lifting pins will be the smallest diameter in the system other than the diameter of the grommet. No loads should be handled on the D/d smaller than the 5 times the sling body diameter. If they must, consult the sling manufacturer. Rated capacities covered in the section are based on a D/d ratio of 5. STRAND LAID HAND TUCKED GROMMET A Strand Laid Hand Tucked Grommet is made from one continuous length of strand. No sleeves are used to make the joint. This results in a very smooth circular sling. Because of the sling body construction, grommet slings react differently than standard wire rope slings in a choker
type hitch therefore the presence of the nominal splice efficiency factor in the equation. Rated capacity adjustment table 1 applies. STRAND LAID MECHANICAL SPLICE GROMMET Strand Laid Mechanical Splice grommets are made from one continuous length of wire rope joined by pressing or swaging one or more sleeves over the rope juncture. This type of grommet is not as smooth as the hand tucked, but offers economy and ease of manufacture. An advantage is that the swaged sleeves give clear indication of the splice area. CABLE LAID HAND TUCKED GROMMET Cable Laid Hand Tucked Grommets are fabricated in the same manner as strand laid hand tucked grommets except one continuous length of wire rope is used. This makes for a flexible smooth sling. the body diameters are somewhat odd sized because the grommet body is built up from a standard diameter component rope. CABLE LAID MECHANICAL SPLICE (See Rated Capacity Tables Section) Cable Laid Mechanical Splice Grommets are fabricated from one continuous length of cable laid wire rope fabric with the ends joined by one or more mechanical sleeves.

WIRE ROPE SLING INSPECTION AND REMOVAL CRITERIA
BASIC INSPECTION CRITERIA FOR WIRE ROPE SLINGS The goal of a sling inspection is to evaluate remaining strength in a sling which has been used previously to determine if it is suitable for continued use. The specific inspection intervals and procedures are required by the Occupation Safety and Health Act (OSHA) and by ANSI B30.9 Regulations, and the responsibility for performance of inspections is placed squarely upon the sling user by Federal Legislation. As a starting point, the same work practices which apply to all working wire ropes apply to wire rope which has been fabricated into a sling. Therefore, a good working knowledge of wire rope design and construction will be not only useful but essential in conducting a wire rope sling inspection. Because wire rope is a rather complex machine, no precise rules can be given to determine exactly when a wire rope sling should be replaced. There are many variables, and all must be considered. OSHA specifies that a wire rope sling shall be removed from service immediately if ANY of the following conditions are present: 1. Broken Wires: For sing-part slings, 10 randomly distributed broken wires in one rope lay, or five broken wires in one strand of one rope lay. For multi-part slings these same criteria apply to each of the component ropes. For this inspection, a broken wire shall only be counted once; that is, each break should have two ends. 2. Metal Loss: Wear or scraping of one third the original diameter of outside individual wires. This is quite difficult to determine on slings an experience should be gained by the inspector by taking apart old slings and actually measuring wire diameters. 3. Distortion:Kinking, crushing, birdcaging or other damage which distorts the rope structure. The main thing to look for is wires or strands that are pushed out of their original positions in the rope. Slight bends in a rope where wires or strands are still relatively in their original positions would not be considered serious damage. But good judgment is indicated. 4. heat Damage: Any metallic discoloration or loss of internal lubricant caused by exposure to heat. 5. Bad End Attachments: Cracked, bent or broken end fittings caused by abuse, wear or accident. 6. Bent hooks: No more than 15 percent over the normal throat openings, measured at the narrowest point, or twisting more than 10 degrees is permissible. 7. Metal Corrosion: Severe Corrosion of the rope or end attachments which has caused pitting or binding of wires should be cause for replacing the sling. Light rusting usually does not affect strength of a sling, however. In addition to these seven conditions specified by OSHA, the following are also important: 8. Pulled Eye Splices: Any evidence that they eye splices have slipped, tucked strands have moved, or pressed sleeves show serious damage may have sufficient cause to reject a sling. 9. Unbalance: A very common cause of damage is the kink which results from pulling through a loop while using a sling, thus causing wires and strands to be deformed and pushed out of their original position. This unbalances the sling, reducing its strength. Disposition of Retired Slings: the best inspection program available is of no value if slings which are worn out an have been retired are not disposed of properly. when it is determined by the inspector that a sling is worn out or damaged beyond use, it should be tagged immediately DO NOT USE. this sling should then be destroyed as soon as possible by cutting the eye an fittings from the rope with a torch. This will help assure that an employee will not mistakenly use a sling which has been retired from service. It should also be obvious that a good inspection program will not only provide safer lifting conditions, but will also extend the life of the slings and thereby reduce lifting costs. FEDERAL WORK RULES REQUIRE SPECIFIC INSPECTION INTERVALS Government regulations are also specific on WHEN to inspect. 46

WIRE ROPE SLING INSPECTION AND REMOVAL CRITERIA
3
Both ANSI Standard B30.9 and OSHA require that wire rope slings receive two types of inspections: a DAILY visual inspection, and additional inspections where service conditions warrant. Daily visual inspections are intended to detect serious damage or deterioration which would weaken the sling. This inspection is usually performed by the person using the sling in a day-to-day job. He should look for obvious things, such as broken wires, kinks, crushing, broken attachments, severe corrosion, etc. Additional inspections should be performed at regular intervals based on, (1) frequency of sling use, (2) severity of service conditions, (3) nature of lifts, and (4) prior experience based on service life of slings used in similar circumstances. It is required that these additional inspections be carried out by a designated person who much have good knowledge of wire rope. An accurate WRITTEN and dated record of all conditions observed should be kept. Any deterioration of the sling which could result in appreciable loss of original strength should be carefully noted, and determination made on whether further use would constitute a safety hazard. HOW TO INSPECT Precisely how to make proper, adequate inspections is not detailed by OSHA- yet it is in the HOW of inspection that the big difference between a good inspection and something less become apparent. (1) First, it is necessary that all parts of the sling are readily visible. The sling should be laid out so every part is accessible. (2) Next, the sling should be sufficiently cleaned of dirt and grease so wires and fittings are easily seen. This can usually be accomplished with wire brush or rags. (3) The sling should then be given a thorough, systematic examination throughout its entire length, paying particular attention to sections showing the most wear. (4) Special attention should also be paid to fittings and end attachments and areas of the sling adjacent to these fittings. (5) When the worst section of a sling has been located, this area should then be carefully checked against the OSHA criteria. (6) Label or identify slings that are inspected. (7) Keep records of inspections that include dates and corresponding conditions of slings. (8) Dispose immediately of slings that are rejected. A knowledgeable inspector will also insist on proper storage for out of use slings- to make his job easier if not for the good of the slings. Inspections are much easier- and probably more thorough- when slings are available for inspection in an orderly arrangement, out of the weather, away from heat and dirt.

CAUTION! WORKING LOADS ARE GUIDELINES ONLY.

1. Linear density (pounds per 100 feet) is shown as average. Maximum is 5% higher. 2. New rope tensile strengths are based on test of new and unused rope of standard construction in accordance with Cordage Institute Standard Test. 3. Working Loads are for rope in good condition with appropriate splices, in non-critical applications, and under normal service conditions. Working loads should be exceeded only with expert knowledge of conditions and professional estimates of risk. Working loads should be reduced where life, limb, or valuable property are involved, or for exceptional service conditions such as shock load, sustained loads, etc. 4. Manila rope tensile and weight specifications are based on Federal Specification TR-605B.

For convenient and proper compression of sleeves, both in the field and in the shop, many types of tools are available. Splices made with these tools typically hold military specification grade aircraft control cable in tension until the cable breaks. To insure good splices, make the proper number of presses in each sleeve. Applications that require continuous and frequent sleeve pressings call for the use of our larger toggle action tools, or power press equipment.

ALLOY HOOKS GRADE 80
WORKING LOAD LIMIT
The Working Load Limit is the maximum load in pounds which should ever be applied to chain, when the chain is new in as new condition, and when the load is uniformly applied in direct tension to a straight length of chain.
MINIMUM ULTIMATE LOAD

The Minimum Ultimate Load is the minimum load at which new chain will break when tested by applying direct tension to a straight length of chain at a uniform rate of speed in a testing machine.
PROOF TEST
The proof test is a term designating the tensile test applied to new chain for the sole purpose of detecting injurious defects in the material or manufacture. It is the load in pounds which the chain has withstood under a test in which the load has been applied in direct tension to a straight length of chain.
ATTACHMENTS
Any attachments, such as hooks or links, should have a rated Working Load Limit at least equal to the chain with which it is used.
CAUTION
Only Alloy Grade 80 chain should be used for overhead lifting applications. It must be recognized that certain factors in the usage of chain and attachments can be abusive and lessen the load that the chain or attachments can withstand. Some examples are twisting of the chain; disfigurement; deterioration by straining, usage, weathering and corrosion; rapid application of load or jerking; and applying excessive loads.
ANSI / ASME B30.9c-1994

Paragraph 9-1.4.2 Mechanically assembled slings shall be comprised entirely of proof tested components. Paragraph 9-1.4.2c If untested components are employed, the sling shall be proof tested per Paragraph 9-1.4.1 prior to initial use.
CHAIN INSPECTION
INSPECTION AND REMOVAL FROM SERVICE PER ANSI B30.9 FREQUENT INSPECTION Normal Service - Monthly Severe Service - Daily to Monthly Check chain and attachments for wear, nicks, cracks, breaks, gouges, stretch, bend, weld splatter, discoloration from excessive temperature, and throat openings of hooks. 1. Chain links and attachments should hinge freely to adjacent links. 2. Latches on hooks, if present, should hinge freely and seat properly without evidence of permanent distortion. PERIODIC INSPECTION - INSPECTION RECORDS REQUIRED Normal Service - Yearly Severe Service - Monthly This inspection shall include everything in a frequent inspection plus each link and end attachment shall be examined individually, taking care to expose inner link surfaces of the chain and chain attachments. 1. Worn links should not exceed values given in table 1 or recommended by the manufacturer. 2. Sharp transverse nicks and gouges should be round out by grinding and the depth of the grinding should not exceed values in table 1. 3. Hooks should be inspected in accordance with ANSI B30.10. 4. If present, latches on hooks should seat properly, rotate freely, and show no permanent distortion.

TO MAKE YOUR ALLOY GRADE 80 CHAIN SLING

Follow these simple steps in making a sling assembly. Determine the maximum load to be lifted by the sling. Choose the type of sling assembly suited for the shape of the load and the size of the sling assembly for the load to be lifted. The decision must take into account the angle of the sling legs in multileg slings. Determine the overall reach for bearing point of master link to bearing point on hook. Select components, assemble chain and components. Affix sling identification tag to sling. The tag is available from West Coast Wire Rope. The tag should be stamped with size chain, reach, type sling. Working Load Limit at a a specific angle of lift, and identifying number for record keeping. If measurement comes in the link, cut the following link. For two leg type count the links and use an even number for clevis hooks and an odd number for eye hooks. This will position hooks in the same plane, In multileg slings always use the same number of links in each leg.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The user of West Coast Wire Rope brand nylon lifting slings must insure all safety precautions are used during the application and storage of our sling and web assembly products. All RATED CAPACITIES shown in the catalog are based on new and unused products. Inspect each sling prior to each and every use. Check for cuts, tears, chemical burns and excessive abrasion of the web. If the inner core RED safety threads are visible, immediately remove from service. We strongly recommend that any sling not meeting complete safety criteria be cut if half and discarded. Safety to people and equipment must be the primary objective.
USERS GUIDE
WEB SLING CHARACTERISTICS LOAD PROTECTION - Will not mar, deface, or scratch the most highly sensitive loads. CONVENIENCE - Lightweight and extremely flexible. SAFETY - Will hold with non-slip grip. Load bearing inner fibers are completely covered and protected by tough outer
fibers. Non-sparking. All slings have a minimum 5 to 1 design factor. All slings are provided with a vinyl tag marked with capacities and information currently required by OSHA. LONG LIFE - Very resistant to rot, mildew or bacteria. Unaffected by many chemicals and have excellent abrasion resistance. (See environmental consideration chart) SHOCK ABSORBENT - Synthetic web slings have elongation characteristics which minimize the effects of shock loading. INDICATOR CORE - All slings have RED indicator core yarns to assist in determining sling wear or damage. If the core yarns are visible, the sling must be replaced. ULTRA VIOLET DEGRADATION - Continuous exposure to ultraviolet light can affect strength of synthetic slings ranging from slight to total degradation. Store in a dark, cool area.
INSPECTIONS
The user should make a thorough visual inspection of thesling prior to each use. Users should insure that the proper sling is being used for each specific application. Remove the sling from use if any of the following conditions exist: Acid or Caustic burns. Excessive abrasive wear. Melted, charred, or welding splatter. Broken or worn stitching. RED core yarn showing. Damaged loop eye. Knots in any part of the sling. Holes, tears, cuts, snags, or embedded particles. Any other damage.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
To prevent mechanical or chemical damage when not in use, slings should not be exposed to sunlight and must be stored in a cool, dry and dark place.
NYLON AND POLYESTER SLINGS SHOULD NOT BE USED AT TEMPERATURES IN EXCESS OF 194oF (90oC)

Our polyester roundsling is a major advancement in securing almost any object to be pulled or lifted. It consists of a continuous, or endless, loop of 100% polyester fiber. The accumulation of numerous fiber strands determine the strength factor, as the capacity above shows. The multiple fiber construction makes the roundsling soft and flexible - perfect for a choked lift. The sling contours itself around the load. The bundle of fibers is protected by a double cover of woven polyester fabric. Because the load bearing fibers never come in contact with the load, there is no wear to them as long as the cover remains intact. In addition, the endless roundsling can be constantly rotated, further extending the wear life of the protective covering and the sling as a whole. Load drop safety is inherent in the polyester fiber principle. Even if the sling is greatly overstressed, it will not completely break apart at once, it will stretch slowly as the individual fibers start to break, allowing time to put the load down. Each sling has a tough, branded leather label permanently attached, with load capacities marked. The ultimate breaking load is a minimum of five times the rated capacity. 145
