Wheel Slings

Wheel Slings are a bridle configuration and incorporate the same special sling protection, provided on Traction Motor Slings.

Failure to follow proper use, care and inspection criteria could result in severe personal injury or death. It is your explicit responsibility to consider all risk factors prior to using any rigging device or product. Read and understand the information contained in this publication and follow OSHA and ASME guidelines. Use by untrained persons is hazardous. Synthetic products will fail if damaged, abused, misused, overused or improperly maintained.

Do not exceed Work Load Limits. You are cautioned that all published Work Load Limits and break strengths apply to only new and unused slings, assemblies and hardware. Work Load Limits are based upon: destruction testing in controlled, laboratory conditions, which will never be duplicated during actual usage and a moderately dynamic lifting or pulling operation.

Synthetic products are damaged and cut when lifting on load edges. Edges in contact with the sling must be "padded" with materials of sufficient strength, thickness and construction to prevent damage and catastrophic sling failure. Sling protection may not prevent cutting or other forms of sling damage. To avoid severe personal injury or death, personnel should be kept away from the load and never be under, on, near or next to the load or sling, while it is under tension.
