Cargo ropes Slings are the most common type of cargo handling devices. In Ukraine and the CIS countries, the majority of lifting operations are traditionally carried out using steel rope slings. The reason for such popularity is the accumulated rich experience in their use, the possibility of using various types of slings, the prevalence and cheapness of the products themselves, as well as the absence until recently of alternative types of rigging slings made of more modern materials.
Rope rigging slings have a number of advantages, including:
- high bearing capacity and flexibility;(//tractor-service.com)
- less time-consuming to manufacture than other types of slings;
- have sufficient reliability and resistance to sharp dynamic loads, since the rope smoothes them;
- the destruction of the rope during the period of operation does not occur suddenly, but gradually, which allows you to monitor the condition of the sling and remove it from operation in a timely manner.
