Steel-Tex™ Stage Sling®

  Failure to follow proper use, care and inspection criteria could result in severe personal injury or death. Slings and Rigging products will fail if damaged, abused, misused, overused or improperly maintained. Regular inspection must be conducted to determine if any product can be used at the assigned Work Load Limit (WLL) or whether the product shall be removed from service. OSHA and ASME stipulate that a visual inspection of the sling must be made daily or before each shift in Normal service conditions. If you are unsure if the pre-shift or daily inspection has been done, take the time to inspect the sling. Slings that are damaged or determined to be unsafe shall not be used for any application.

All Work Load Limits (WLL) indicated in our catalog are applicable only to new or “in as new” condition products. The Work Load Limits indicate the greatest force or load a device can carry under normal circumstances. Work Load Limits are based upon destruction testing, done in controlled, laboratory conditions, which will never be duplicated during actual usage. Any instantaneous change (sudden drops or rapid acceleration) constitutes hazardous shock loading and THE WORK LOAD LIMITS AS STATED, DO NOT APPLY. Shock loading, side loading and extraordinary or unique conditions must be taken into account when using any device in a rigging system.
