THE ARABI SLING DIFFERENCE

All slings meet or exceed OSHA and ASME B30.9 standards and regulations.

What is a Round sling?

A Round Sling is an endless synthetic sling made from a continuous loop of polyester yarns covered with a double wall tubular jacket. The round sling body can also be compared to sling webbing with the tubular jacket face yarns woven without binder yarns; this allows the core yarns to move independently within the jacket.

Features, Advantages and Benefits• Light weight, which reduces fatigue and strain on riggers• Consistently matched lengths for better multiple sling load control• No loss of strength from abrasion to cover• Low stretch (about 3% at rated capacity) reduces sling and load abrasion • Good design for low headroom lifts• Conforms to shape of load for a more secure grip• Load bearing yarns protected from UV degradation• Double wall cover for greater sling life• Soft cover won’t scratch load surface• Seamless, no sewn edges to rupture prematurely, requiring removal from service• Color coded capacities for quick identification up to A240• Lightweight and pliable for easy rigging and storage• Independent core yarns choke tightly, but release easily after use• High strength to weight ratio for easy transportation• All endless and eye and eye styles of round slings are made to a tolerance of

+/- 1% of specified length.

WARNINGAlways protect Slings from corners, edges or protrusions. Never exceed the rated capacity listed on the tag

SLING HARDWARE AND CONNECTIONS

Connection surfaces must be smooth to avoid abrading or cutting round slings. Round slings can also be damaged or weakened by excessive compression between the sling and the connection points if the size of the attachment hardware or connection area is not large enough to avoid this damage. Select and use proper connection hardware that conforms to the size requirements listed for choker and vertical hitches, or for basket hitches in the charts below.

WARNINGAlways protect Slings from corners, edges or protrusions. Never exceed the rated capacity listed on the tag

EXPOSURE OF SLINGS TO EDGES

Edges do not need to be “sharp” to cause failure of the sling. The following table shows the minimum allowable edge radii suitable for contact with unprotected round slings. Chamfering or cutting off edges is not an acceptable substitute for fully rounding the edges to the minimum radius. Slings can also be damaged from contact with edges or burrs at the sling connection.

PROTECT SLING FROM DAMAGE

ALWAYS protect round slings from being cut or damaged by corners, edges and protrusions using protection sufficient for each application.

Do not ignore warning signs of damage, i.e. cut marks detected during any sling use. Regular inspection of slings can greatly prolong the life of slings, and forewarn of danger!

The Eye and Eye Advantage

An additional jacket of texturized, abrasion resistant nylon covers the body of the standard round sling.

Saves money by extending sling life where abrasion to sling body is a problem.

WARNINGDo not exceed rated capacities. Sling capacity decreases as the angle from horizontal

decreases. Slings should never be used at angles less than 30 degrees.

Advantages and benefits • Braided construction offers redundant

safety• User Friendly compared to steel slings• Excellent stength-to-weight ratio

Saves money • Larger capacity slings are generally

bought for one major lift and never used again. Braided round slings can be disassembled into single slings for general use. If tagged properly.

Saves time • Easy to transport and hook up

Warning Do not exceed rated capacities. Sling capacity decreases as the angle from horizontal decreases. Slings

should never be used at angles less than 30 degrees.
