Synthetic Web Sling Safety Bulletin

WARNING
Failure to Read, Understand and Follow

Tuff-Tag and Safety Bulletin

the information in this bulletin may result in
severe INJURY or DEATH due to sling failure
and/or loss of load. This bulletin contains important
safety information. It DOES NOT contain all of the
information you need to know about handling, lifting
and manipulating materials and loads safely. It is
your responsibility to consider all risk factors
prior to using any rigging device or product.

1. Sling users must be trained in operating practices, including sling selection, use,
inspection, rigging practices, cautions to personnel, and effects of environment.
2. Inspect sling at least daily and remove from service if damaged.
3. Protect sling from being cut or damaged by corners, protrusions, or from
contact with edges that are not well rounded.
4. Use sling properly - Do not exceed a sling’s rated capacities and always consider
how the sling angle affects the amount of tension on the sling (See Table 4-1).
5. Stand clear of load. Do not stand on, under or near a load, and be alert to
dangers from falling and moving loads, and the potential for snagging.
6. Maintain and store sling properly. Sling should be protected from mechanical,
chemical and environmental damage.

1. Sling Users Must be Trained and 2a. How to inspect slings

STANDARD WEB SLING TYPES
Hardware Slings

Unilink and Web-Trap hardware can help to extend sling

life by protecting the webbing from abrasion on rough
crane hooks. Hardware can often be reused, lowering
sling replacement costs.

fitting on each end for use in a vertical, choker or basket

hitch. Unilinks allow choking from either end to save time
and vary wear points. See page 36.

Type 1 (TC) - Has a Web-Trap triangle and choker ­fitting

on either end. Typical use is in a choker hitch. Can also Type 1
be used in vertical and basket hitches.

Type 2 (TT) - Has a Web-Trap triangle on each end.

Normally used in a basket hitch, but can also be used
in a vertical hitch. They cannot be used as a choker.
Type 2

Eye Type

Type 3 (EE) - Flat Eye slings are very popular and can
be used in all three types of hitches. They are easier to
remove from beneath the load than sling Types 1, 2 and
4. Unless Type 4 is requested, Type 3 will be supplied Type 3
as the standard EE sling.

Type 4 (EE) - Twisted Eye slings are similar to Type 3

except the eyes are turned 90° to form a better choker
hitch. The eyes of a Type 4 nest better on the crane hook.
Type 4

Endless Type

Type 5 (EN) - Endless slings are versatile and the most

economically priced. They can be used in all three types
of hitches. The sling can be rotated to minimize wear.
The sling legs can be spread for improved load balance.

Reverse Eye Type

Type 5

Type 6 (RE) - An endless sling with butted edges sewn

together to double the sling width. They have reinforced
eyes and wear pads on both sides of body and eyes for
premium wear resistance.

WEB SLING EYE TREATMENTS
Eye Wear Pads - The eyes of web slings are often subjected to the harsh treatment of rough crane hooks.
Specialty eye treatments are available to help reduce the wear in that area, thereby extending sling life.
The following photos illustrate the more common eye treatments using wear resistant webbing in
various forms. Should you want non-standard eye treatment on your eye & eye web slings, please

Tapering Eyes - As a standard practice, the eyes, or bearing points of sling Types 3 and 4 are tapered to
accommodate a crane hook on slings that are 3" and wider. Untapered eyes are available upon request. Type 5

You can expect longer sling life and lower overall costs
when you switch to Tuff-Edge II slings. Resistance to
the two properties that can rapidly degrade webbing,
abrasion and edge cutting, is greatly improved with the use
of our Tuff-Edge II webbing.

Using Federal Test Method 191A, Tuff-Edge II webbing was

tested against standard yellow polyester webbing. After being
subjected to the same number of hex bar abrasion cycles,
the Tuff-Edge II webbing, with its' special silver treatment,
achieved average break strengths that were twice that of
the standard yellow webbing!

INSPECTION CRITERIA FOR WEB SLINGS

The following photos illustrate some of the common damage

that occurs to web slings, indicating that the sling should be
taken out of service.

realize that all of the fibers in web slings contribute to the
strength of that sling. When there have been a significant

sling should be taken out of service.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR: Broken fibers of equal length
indicate that the sling has been cut by an edge. Red core
warning yarns may or may not be visible with cuts and
are not required to show before removing slings from
service.
TO PREVENT: Always protect synthetic slings from being
cut by corners and edges by using wear pads or other
devices.

THE DAMAGE: Abrasion

feel fuzzy indicate that the fibers have been broken

Load edges should never contact sling tags during the

Red Core Yarns - are an additional aid to warn of danger-

ous sling damage. All standard Lift-All Web Slings have
this warning feature. The red core yarns become exposed
when the sling surface is cut or worn through the woven
face yarns. When red yarns are visible, the sling should
be removed from service immediately. For other inspection
criteria see OSHA/Manufacturer regulations on pages 7
through 10.
