SYNTHETIC ROUND SLINGS
Olsen Chain & Cable offers a wide range of strength-tested synthetic round slings that can safely handle a variety of size, type, and capacities of loads.
USE & CARE
-
- Do not use wire rope slings with loads above the rated load capacities on the tag.
- Store slings away from potential mechanical or chemical damage, sunlight, ultraviolet light and extreme temperatures.
- Properly hitch slings, pad sharp edges, balance loads, don’t drag slings, keep them free of knots or twists and don’t pull a sling from under a load when the load is on the sling.
- Inspect slings daily and according to OSHA-approved ASME guidelines.
PRE-OPERATIONAL, DAILY INSPECTIONS

- Check for acid or alkali burns
- Check for broken or damaged fittings
- Check for excessive abrasive wear or elongation
- Check for knots or brittle areas
