American) Mieeiaoe =e ee OSHA Part 1910.184 Slings Safe Operating Practices Whenever any sling is used, the following practices shall be observed. 1, Slings that are damaged or defective shall not be used. 2. Slings shall not be shortened with knots or bolts or other makeshift devices. 3. Sling legs shall not be kinked. ‘4. Slings shall not be loaded in excess of their rated capacities. 5. Slings used in a basket hitch shall have the loads balanced to prevent slippage. 6. Slings shall be securely-attaches to their loads. 7. Slings shall be padded or protected from the sharp edges of oa their loads. ‘8 Suspended loads shall be kept clear of all obstruction. 9. All employees shall be kept clear of loads about to be lifted and of suspended loads. 10. Hands or fingers shall not be placed between the sling and its load while the sling is being tightened around the load. 11. Shock loading is prohibited. 12. Acling shall not be pulled from under a load when the load is resting on the sling. INSPECTIONS 1. Each day before being used, the sling and all fastenings and attachments shall be inspected for damage or defects by a Competent person designated by the employer. 2. Additional inspections shail be performed during sling use where service conditions warrant. 3. Damaged or defective slings shall be immediately removed oO from service. ———— 5 /Anerican Reis aes) Measurement How to measure wire rope diameter The correct diameter of wire rope is the diameter of a circumscribed circle which will enclose all the strands. It is the largest cross sectional measurement as illustrated at right, True diameter A The measurement should be made carefully with calipers. Iltustrations above show the correct and incorrect method of measuring the diameter of wire rope. Certification bes ‘Satety is the prime consideration in all wire rope applications. American Wire Rope & Sling proof tests each standard sling. All tested slings and/or fitings are permanently stamped with a serial number and recorded in our ofice. In adltion, i requested by a ‘customer, we wil furnish a formal Certificate of Test for ‘each sling produced. These tests meet all current Federal, State and Industry safety standards for wire rope slings. Flemish Eye Splice All sing eyes shown throughout this catalog are flemish eye type splices. The flemish eye splice is fabricated by ‘opening or unlaying the rope body into two parts, one having three strands and the other having the remaining STi innier ster eect aren ein ros three strand and the core. The rope is unlayed far oat eae fen pea our oticn. ie ‘enough back to allow the loop or eye to be formed by proves that the sling withstood a load 100% looping one parr in one direction and the other part in fSelat Whar Tarlisee ty caren staindarde. the other direction and laying the rope back together. The strands are rolled back around the rope body. A metal sleeve is then slipped over the ends of the splice and pressed (swaged) to secure the ends to w the body of the siing. = WIRE ROPE &SLING Every Lift Uses 1 of 3 Basic Hitches STRAIGHT : y © Straight, or vertical, attachment is simply using a sling to connect a lifting hook to a load. Full rated lifting capacity of the sling may be utilized, ‘but must not be exceeded. A tagline should be used to prevent load rotation which may damage the sling, When two or more slings are attached to the same lifting hook, the {otal hitch becomes, in effect, a iting bridle, and the load is cistributed equally among the individual slings, Choker hitches reduce lifting capability of a sling, since this ‘method of rigging affects the ability of the wire rope components to adjust during the lft. A choker is used when the load will not be seriously damaged by the sling body — or the sling damaged by the load, and when the lif requires the sling to'snug up against the load. ‘The diameter of the bend where the sling contacts the load should keep the point of the choke against the sling body — never against a splice or the base of the eye. When a cchoke is used at an angle of less than 120 degrees, the sling rated ‘capacity must be adjusted downward, ‘A choker hitch should be pulled tight before a lit is made — not pulled ‘down during the lift. It also is ‘dangerous to use only one choker hitch to lift load which might shift or slide out of the choke, Basket hitches distribute a load equally between the two legs of a sling — within limitations described below. Capacity of a sling used in a basket is affected by the bend, or curvature, where the sling body comes in contact with the load — just as any wire rope is affected and limited by bending action, as over a sheave. Calculating the Load on Each Leg of a Sling ‘As the included angle between the legs of a sling increases, the load on ‘each leg increases. The effectis the ‘same whether a single sling is used ‘as a basket, or two slings are used with each in a straight pull, as with a 2legged brie, Anytime pull is exerted at an angle ‘on a leg — or legs — of a sling, the load per leg can be determined by using the data in the table at the Fight. Proceed as follows to calculate this load — and determine the rated capacity required of the sling, or slings, needed for a it. 1. Ftv the ttl loa be ted bythe umber offs be used.

First, establish a vertical ine downward from the liting hook as it would be positioned at the start of the lift. Measure the greatest angle between this line and any one leg. Multiplying this angle (known technically as the “half included angle”) by two yields the leg angle \which is used to calculate the actual, load on each leg of the bridle, WIRE ROPE & SLING Slings Effect of Angle on Rated Capacity In general, the rated capacities for the specttic slings ‘shown in this catalog are listed for vertical use of the sling. However, the vertical rated sling capacity is reduced when two slings or a single sling in a basket hitch are attached to one crane hook to lft a load. ‘The reduced capacity rating depends upon the angle between the sling leg and the horizontal. Once you have determined this angle, multiply the sling’s vertical rated capacity as shown in this catalog by the ‘appropriate factor found in the table below. This will give you the sling’s reduced rated capacity. ‘Angle Angle ‘Angle Degress Factor Degrees Factor Degrees Factor 3099 «.«88 SSS COT 80 S&H a cme 75 6 8 8 & 42 7 ae an 65 0 40 18s. Example: A sling with a vertical rated capacity of 1000 is. wil hhave a reduced capacity of 860 fs. (1000 x 26) when used at 60 degrees. Effect of Bends on Basket Rated Capacities For Cable-Laid Slings — Basket rated capacities are based on sling use around bends of not less than 10 times the rope diameter (for 1/2” wire rope, 10, times 1/2” equals 5” minimum diameter of bend). For Strand-Laid Slings — Basket rated capacities are based on sling use around bends of not less than 25 times the rope diameter (lor 1/2" wire rope, 25 times 1/2” equals 12-1/2" minimum diameter of bend), For Six-Part Braided Slings — Basket ratod capacities are based on sling use around bends of Not less than 25 times the component rope diameter. For Eight-Part Braided Slings — Basket rated capacities are based on sling use around bends of not less than 25 times the component rope diameter.
