LAMCO also offers training seminars in 1-4 hour durations that can be used for in-plant
safety training.
Why attend?
Rigging and material handling failures are among the
leading causes of injury and death at construction sites
and manufacturing operations. The vast majority of these
accidents can be attributed to operator error and not
equipment failure. Failures can be prevented by respon-
sible and trained personnel who know and understand the
limitations of rigging and the proper use of equipment and
load charts.
When?
A seminar and fee schedule is available and can be sent to you by calling (800) 447-
1885 or (309) 764-7400.

Care, Use and Inspection
of
Synthetic Web Slings
Safety is the paramount consideration involved in the use of any web sling. This standard does not purport to
address all safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of the regulatory limitations prior
to use. The appropriate web sling shall be selected for the specific lift. Users of web slings shall have knowledge
on the proper method of lifting item(s), and how they will react under normal and emergency situations. Also, users
shall be knowledgeable about industry, local, state, federal and provincial regulations applicable to the item(s)
being lifted.
5.1.1 The purpose of this chapter is to provide guidelines for the qualified person responsible for web
sling selection, rigging, inspection and use.
5.2.1 Determine the weight of the load. The weight of the load shall be within the rated capacity of
the web sling.
5.2.2 Select a web sling having suitable characteristics for the type of load, hitch and
environment. (See hitch definitions below).
Hitch Definitions:
Hitch/Vertical - A method of rigging a sling in which the load is attached to the loop eye
or end fitting at one end of the sling and the loop eye or end fitting at the other end is
attached to the lifting device.
Hitch/Choker - A method of rigging a sling in which the sling is passed around the load,
then through one loop eye, end fitting, or device with the other loop eye or end fitting
attached to the lifting device. This hitch can be done with a sliding choker hook or simi-
lar device.
Hitch/Vertical Basket - A method of rigging a sling in which the web sling is passed
around the load, and both loop eyes or end fittings are attached to the lifting device.
Hitch/Angled Basket - Same as Basket Vertical hitch except that the attachment point
of the lifting device (over the load) forces an angled hitch.
5.2.3 Web slings shall not be loaded in excess of the rated capacity shown on the attached
identification tag. Consideration shall be given to the sling to load angle which affects rated
capacity.

or abrasive surfaces with protection sufficient for the intended purpose.
5.2.8 Web slings should not be dragged on the floor or over abrasive surfaces.
5.2.9 Web slings shall not be twisted, shortened, lengthened, tied in knots or joined by knotting. Web
slings shall be shortened, lengthened, or adjusted only by methods approved by the
manufacturer.
5.2.10 Web slings should not be pulled from under loads when the load is resting on the web sling.
Loads resting on web slings could damage the sling.
5.2.12 Web slings that appear to be damaged shall not be used unless inspected and accepted as
usable under Sections 5.3, 5.4, and 5.5.
5.2.13 The web sling shall be hitched in a manner providing control of the load.
5.2.14 Personnel, including portions of the human body, shall be kept from between the sling and the
load, and from between the sling and the crane hook or hoist hook.
5.2.15 Personnel shall not stand under suspended loads. Personnel should stand clear of suspended
loads.
5.2.16 Personnel shall not ride the web sling or the load being lifted.
5.2.19 Load applied to the hook shall be centered in the base (bowl) of hook to prevent point loading
on the hook.
5.2.20 During a lift, with or without the load, personnel shall be alert for possible snagging.
5.2.21 The web sling’s legs (branches) should contain or support the load from the sides above the
center of gravity when using a basket hitch.
5.2.22 Web slings shall be long enough so that the rated capacity (Working Load Limit) is adequate
when the sling to load angle is taken into consideration (See Sling Angle Table on top of page
3).
5.2.23 Only web slings with legible identification tags shall be used.
5.2.24 Tags and labels should be kept away from the load, hook and point of choke.
5.2.25 Web slings shall not be constricted or bunched between the ears of a clevis or shackle.
5.2.26 Place blocks under load prior to setting down the load to allow removal of the web sling, if appli-
cable.
5.2.27 Web slings shall not be used as bridles on suspended personnel platforms.
5.3.1 Web slings should be stored in a cool, dry and dark place when not in use to prevent loss of
strength through exposure to ultraviolet rays. Web slings shall not be stored in chemically active
environments.

Section 5.4 Inspection
A. Initial Inspection - Before a new or repaired web sling is placed in service, it shall be
inspected by a designated person to ensure that the correct web sling is being used, as well
as to determine that the web sling meets the requirements of the specification.
B. Frequent Inspection - This inspection should be conducted by the person handling the sling
each time the sling is used.
5.5.1 Treated and untreated nylon and polyester webbing, used to fabricate synthetic slings, per class
5 and class 7 rated capacity charts, may contain red yarn woven into the core of the webbing to
serve only as one of many aids in determining whether and when a sling should be removed
from service.
5.5.2 A web sling shall be removed from service if any of the following are visible:
5.6.1 Written inspection records, utilizing the identification for each sling as established by the user,
should be kept on file for all web slings. These records should show a description of the sling

5.7.2 Type I and Type II web slings, and other web slings utilizing hardware, may be re-webbed utiliz-
ing existing fittings. It shall be the responsibility of the manufacturer repairing the web sling to
determine if the hardware is re-usable.
5.7.3 Slings shall be repaired only by a sling manufacturer or a qualified person. When repaired, a
sling shall be marked to identify the repair agent.
5.7.4 All re-webbed Type I and Type II, and other web slings utilizing fittings, shall be proof tested to
two (2) times their vertical rated capacity before being placed back into service. A certificate of
proof testing shall be provided.
5.7.6 Repaired slings shall be proof tested to two (2) times its assigned rated capacity before being
put back into service.

Twin-Path Extra Slings are constructed of high performance load carrying yarns. The load
carrying yarns are protected by two independent, seamless, color coded covers. The internal red cover is pro-
tected by the outer green covermax abrasion resistant cover.
The sling cover is fabricated in such a way that it is actually two complete and separate slings in one. Each
path makes its own separate connection between the lifting hook and the load. This unique backup system is
designed to provide the sling user with sufficient reaction time to maintain control of the load if damage to one of
the paths was undetected.
Tell Tails Tags are used to show when Twin-Path Extra Slings are loaded beyond rated capacity, the indicator
tails shrink until they finally disappear under the cover.
Protective Sleeves can be sewn on or float around the body of the sling so that they can be positioned to the
areas where they are needed. A Special tag contains required information--and the Flag Tag contains the

Specialty Small Ropes
This category includes wire rope sizes as small as 1/32” in diameter. They’re used in a vari-
ety of applications, including control cables, window and door closures, different kinds of
remote control systems, boat rigging and many others. They can be made of galvanized or
stainless steel aircraft wire.
These ropes are produced for the most common applications in the market. Utility grade is
made to RR-W-410. These cables have historically been called “aircraft” cable. Since most
applications do not require that designation, we are changing the name to “utility” cable. We
can provide these ropes to MIL-DTL-83420 “aircraft” specifications on request. They require
special lubrication, internal marking and fatigue testing.

NEWCO SLIP-THRU THIMBLES are designed to allow passage
of an identical thimble through its eye. This is a necessity when
a regular sling is used as a choker sling. SLIP-THRU THIMBLES
also prevent the eye of the sling from mashing together and the
top of the eye wearing excessively. The generous inside dimensions
allow the thimbles to fit large crane hooks. Rope retention ears
are tapered so they can be bent or peened over wire rope.
Crescent Thimble
NEWCO CRESCENT THIMBLES are designed to protect
the bearing surface of a loop where a large dimension loop
is necessary. The ears are tapered so that they can be bent

Slip- On Thimble
Flattening or pulling together of the eyes under heavy loads is
eliminated as is severe wear at the top of the eye. It is
particularly recommended to prevent abrasion when a choker sling

KUPLERS
Kuplers act as a connection device between Master Links and
Chain on all multiple leg Kuplex II Chain Slings. On single
leg assemblies they can be used in lieu of the popular Kuplex
II Kuplink. Resembling a shackle in appearance the Kuplers
provide a high strength, high integrity connection when used
to connect a special attachment to the alloy chain assembly.

Liftex PAC-FLEX® Alloy Chain Mesh Slings are specified for
multiple lifting uses in metalworking and other applications
where the loads are abrasive, hot or will ten to cut other types
of slings. PAC-FLEX fills a niche that web slings cannot fill.
PAC-FLEX is vastly superior in many respects to the wire
mesh sling.
Pac-Flex Slings Feature
• Flat, smoother bearing surfaces
• High tensile strength alloy steel chain
• Flexibility to conform to irregular shapes
• Withstands temperatures to 550°F.
• Excellent resistance to abrasion and cutting
• Easy to inspect – use the same inspection criteria used
for other alloy sling chains
Compare Liftex Pac-Flex Alloy Chain Mesh
Slings To Wire Mesh Slings
• More capacity per sling width
• Our 2” wide sling is 260% stronger than 2” wide wire
mesh slings.
• Our 4” wide sling is 200% stronger than 4” wide wire
mesh slings.
• BI-DIRECTIONAL FLEXIBILITY

SPANCO ceiling mounted workstation bridge cranes provide ideal, cost effective
material handling solutions…
• If work floor space is limited: Ceiling mounted systems provide infinite coverage without interfering support
columns. Systems can be linked to a monorail or another bridge crane using crane interlock sections.
• Easy, ergonomic movement: An operator pushing a 1000 lb. load, will experience a force of approximately 10 lb.
to begin moving the load and 8 lb. to continue moving the load (100 to 1 ratio). Manual cranes also operate
more quickly than motorized cranes making them ideal for fast paced work environments.
However, if the application requires moving heavier loads up to two tons or bridge travel over an inaccessible area,
then a motorized system can be used efficiently. SPANCO can provide motorized systems in 1,000, 2,000
and 4,000 lb. capacities.
Ceiling mounted systems are supported by the building structure. A qualified architect or engineer should be consult-
ed to determine the adequacy of the building structure intended to support the crane system.
128
DETERMINING CAPACITY,
WIDTH, LENGTH, AND HEIGHT
• Capacity: Load weights should be predetermined in order to avoid buying extra, unneeded capacity. Bridge
dead weight will add more weight to the load the operator will be moving.
• Width: Bridge span is the length of a bridge between centers of two runways. SPANCO’s standard design pro-
vides a standard bridge overhang of 12 in. on each end beyond the runway centerline. Bridge length is the
overall length.
• Length: Runway length is determined by the length of a specific area requiring coverage. Runways are support-
ed on maximum 20, 25, or 30 ft. support centers. Plain track runways are supported every 6 ft. for 400, 500,
600, and 900 series and every 9 ft. for 700 series.
• Height: In order to attain minimal resistance, it is recommended that the trolley clevis height be kept as low as
possible, with practical consideration given to minimum headroom requirements. Height is measured from the
floor to the trolley clevis from which a hoist is suspended.
DESIGN FACTORS
• Nameplate bridge capacity represents the rated load on the hoist hook. The load rating of a hoist shall not exceed
the bridge rating. SPANCO’s design includes an allowance of 15% of nameplate capacity for dead weight of the trol-
ley and hoist. An additional allowance of 25% of nameplate capacity is also included for impact.
SERVICE FACTOR
All SPANCO workstation cranes are designed for frequent usage (heavy service) as defined:
• System or equipment is used where operational time is up to 100% of the work period and lifted load is at 50% or
below rated capacity.
• System or equipment is used where operational time is less than 50% of work period and lifted load is greater than
50% of rated capacity.
• Applications involving vacuums, magnets, or other high impact lifters are considered severe usage (continuous
service) and require special design considerations. Please contact factory for special design pricing.
• Consult factory for usage other than moderate and all instances of high cycle rates or high impact applications such
as high speed air or electric hoists, vacuum lifters, or magnets. FACTORY MUST APPROVE ALL SUCH
APPLICATIONS.

SPECIFICATION CHARTS
SPANCO ceiling mounted bridge crane dimensional charts are organized according to the length of the
maximum support centers for each runway. Generally, considering the following points is helpful for determining spe-
cific runway support centers:
• The size of the building or specific area requiring coverage: Will the system cover the full building
perimeter or a smaller specific area within a building?
• Location of fixed structures such as machinery, building columns, overhead lighting, and fixtures.
• Specific logistics of the area requiring coverage: Is the system moving material to an assembly line, into storage,
or from one workstation to another?

• Ceiling mounted system kits include appropriate number of hanger rods, hangers, adjustable beam clamps, and track support

• Ceiling mounted system kits do not include hoist or required sway bracing.
• All ceiling mounted systems must be properly braced to existing structure using proper sway bracing. To achieve desired rigidi-
ty for specific application, SPANCO recommends consulting a professional architect or engineer in your local area to satisfy
all codes and ordinances.
• Dimensions shown are approximate and subject to change without notice. All catalog dimensions are developed using stan-
dard components for the spans and capacities required. Substitution of optional trolleys or other components will affect cer-

SPANCO stand alone workstation bridge cranes provide ideal, cost effective material handling solutions…
If you rent your building: Stand alone systems do not become a permanent part of a structure once
installed, allowing for relocation.
Your structural building support is inadequate for an overhead ceiling mounted crane: The only
mounting requirement is a standard concrete building floor (in most cases).
A specific area needs coverage, however you don’t want to tie up your existing overhead crane:
Stand alone SPANCO workstation bridge crane systems can provide coverage for individual work areas.
133
DETERMINING CAPACITY,
WIDTH, LENGTH, AND HEIGHT
• Capacity: Load weights should be predetermined in order to avoid buying extra, unneeded capacity.
Bridge dead weight will add more weight to the load the operator will be moving.
• Width: Bridge span is the length of a bridge between centers of two runways. SPANCO’s standard design
provides a standard bridge overhang of 12 in. on each end beyond the runway centerline. Bridge length
is the overall length.
• Length: Runway length is determined by the length of a specific area requiring coverage. Runways are
supported on maximum 20, 25, or 30 ft. support centers.
• Height: In order to attain minimal resistance, it is recommended that the trolley clevis height be kept as
low as possible, with practical consideration given to minimum headroom requirements. Height is meas-
ured from the floor to the trolley clevis from which a hoist is suspended. The specification charts give the
overall height of each system.

Lever Hoist
FEATURES AND
A BENEFITS
Overload Protection This is standard on all hoists and is factory set. The
overload is integral with the hoist and prevents the
operator from overloading the hoist. When activated, the
overload will not allow hoist operation. When the overload
is activated, lower the load, if lifting, or release the load,
if pulling. Then select a larger capacity hoist, or consult a
lifting specialist for another means of operation.
Minimal Load Lifting These hoists require 20% - 30% less effort than the
Effort competition. Lift heavy loads with ease. Ideal for frequent
lifting/pulling applications.
Fully Enclosed Gearing This protects the gears from contamination and debris.
All Steel Construction These hoists are strong, durable and rugged, providing a
long and dependable service life.
Malleable Hooks with These hooks open when overloaded, thus providing the
Cast Steel Safety operator with a hook load reference point. Each heavy duty
Latches cast steel safety latch has a bolt and lock nut connection
rather than roller pins used by most competitors. This
feature facilitates changing latches in the field.
Weather Proof Load Both hoists have a protected Weston Brake which holds
Holding Brake the load during the entire operation. The hoists are also
equipped with a unique twin pawl design.
All Gears and Shafts This feature provides smooth controlled operation as well
Run on Roller Bearings as maintenance free lubrication.
Stainless Steel Riveted These tags will not rust and will maintain clear distinct
ID Tags information for easy identification.
Safety Yellow Powder This process provides a long lasting finish in hostile
Coating environments.
Certification Each hoist is load tested and comes with a serial number
and test certificate dedicated to each hoist. This provides
complete traceability throughout the manufacturing
process.

Lever Hoist with overload protection
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Free Wheel Feature - When not under load, the operator can disengage the gearing by positioning
the selection switch to the center position. This allows for a quick adjustment of chain for
faster operation.
Machined Lift Wheel - This wheel perfectly accepts the chain allowing for a smooth long lasting operation.
Pull Handle / Safety Chain Stop - When not under load, this feature allows for quick disengagement
of gearing, which allows for fast movement of the load hook. The safety chain stop is designed to
hold the load in the event that the entire load chain is transmitted through the hoist.
360 Degree Handle Rotation - This allows the operator to work in confined spaces.
Corrosion Protection - Hoist components are powder coated to prevent corrosion.
Product I.D. labels are made from stainless steel.
Fully Enclosed Lift Wheel - This maintains smooth operation while distributing the load over more
links of chain. It also helps keep debris from contaminating the lift wheel and self cleans the
chain as it enters the wheel.
Steel Handle with Rubber Grip - This handle provides a non slip, sure grip, surface.
Cast Steel Hand Wheel - Rotates to allow positive load chain positioning.
Lower Block - Included with multistrand hoists.

Application:
This mechanical load cell has been designed to provide a Axle
trip point for lifting systems which have a dead end wire rope. pin
The trip point provides a signal that the user may employ
depending on his requirements, e.g.:
for load limiting in lifting systems
to limit the speed as a function of the load on traversing A
to limit the effort applied for pulling
This UNIVERSAL load cell is recommended for its
simplicity and quick-fitting capability.
Operating principle
The load cell operates by the movement of metal within its
elastic limits. This movement acts on an adjustable switch
giving an “all-or-nothing” signal. The position of the
adjustable pin sets the capacity range. The central
“UNIVERSAL” fixing bracket is adapted to suit wire ropes
from 5 to 16 mm (model HF 32/1), 17 to 26 mm(model HF
32/2), and from 27 to 36 mm (model HF 36/3)
Full details may be found in the installation manual.
The effort applied through the wire rope “deforms” the body
of the load cell creating a difference in the relative positions
of the two sections. This operates a microswitch which may B
be wired directly into the UP Relay of the lifting system to
prevent an overload condition. Fig. 1 - HF 32 “universal” load cell

TENSOR
TENSORS have a screw-type action with eccentric loading. By turning the drive head, the large tube telescopes
over the inner tube and pulls the anchoring points together. The drive head can be turned manually for initial
tightening. Maximum tightening is achieved by using a square drive ratchet wrench or impact wrench in the drive
head. Up to 1,000 pounds tension is possible with hand tightening alone!
Initial low tensioning or pulling (up Easy tensioning with a common Effortless, speedy tensioning with
to 9,000 Ibs.) simply by turning ratchet wrench. a powered impact wrench.
the drive head by hand.
Because all of the working parts are completely enclosed, the TENSOR is almost indestructible. Because the
TENSOR leaves the factory fully lubricated, the TENSOR is almost maintenance free.
Designed initially as a marine tensioner to safely secure heavy trailers, cargo containers, rail cars and more
even in rough seas, the TENSOR has evolved into an industrial tool for any tensioning or pulling application.
Now used in mining, trucking, railroading ...even guy wire tensioning for portable radar antennas.

INDUSTRIAL
PRODUCTS Long Reach Shackle
A Division of Columbus McKinnon Corporation
Columbus McKinnon’s new Load Rated Long Reach Alloy Steel Shackles were developed
for those special situations when a standard shackle needs that little extra reach to get the
job done right.
Born out of customer demand, these highly versatile shackles will prove to be an indispen-
sable addition to the rigger’s toolbox. The open design, extra long reach and generous load
bearing surfaces will accommodate many rigging hookups that a standard shackle cannot
reach.
As with all rigging gear, extreme care should be taken to center loads and observe the
working load limit of each component of your hookup.

* These maximum sheet sizes are recommended due to the weight of the specified sheet. All other maximum sheet sizes are selected due to
the sag characteristics of the specified sheet. NOTE: When lifting sheets over 4’ x 8’, use two or more lifts on a spreader bar to prevent sheet
flexing, sagging or peel-off. Material less than 3/8” thick is susceptible to magnetic bleed through, resulting in two sheets being lifted at once.
