Steel Slings: Types, Materials, and Characteristics
Steel slings are essential tools in lifting and material handling operations. Their design and materials ensure safety and efficiency in industrial environments
🔹 Types of Steel Slings
- Standard steel cable slings: Resistant and durable for extremely heavy loads
. - Alloy steel chain slings: Ideal for heavy-duty environments and high resistance
. - Steel mesh slings: Combine flexibility and strength, used in versatile applications
. - Type 1 slings with link accessories (CH): Designed with basket and link triangles for enhanced stability
.
🔹 Materials
Made with alloy steel (for high strength)
🔹 Key Characteristics
- Resistance to external factors: Abrasion, corrosion, and high temperatures
. - High load capacity: Supports extreme loads without deformation
. - Compliance with international standards: Such as OSHA 1910.184 for workplace safety
. - Versatility: Used in construction, logistics, and heavy industries
