Maximum Working Load Limits (WLL) on Sling Assemblies indicated in tonnes. Larger diameter wire rope assemblies are available on request

The working load limits of slings made from General Engineering ropes which are manufactured to BS EN 12385-4 should conform to the
requirements of BS EN 13414-1: 2003. The Working Load Limits indicated are based on the assumption that soft eyes of single part slings are
used over bearing points of not less than twice the diameter of the wire rope. All sling rope will be Ordinary Lay. All incorporated fittings will be
compatable with and provide efficiencies equal to that specified within the table.

The Safe Working Load will normally be equal to the Working Load Limit, although in some instances it may be less e.g. if the sling is used in
Choke Hitch the SWL will equal WLL x 0.8.

BS EN 13414-1: 2003 covers only those sling assemblies that have legs of equal nominal length, diameter, construction and tensile grade. Sling
assemblies with legs of unequal length can be manufactured generally in accordance with this Standard, however their efficiency rating requires
special consideration by a competent person.

In all cases where hooks and shackles are used, the WLL of these items shall not be less than that of the leg to which they are attached.

Safety Recommendations
When using multi-leg sling assemblies it must be remembered that as the angle between the legs increases, then the actual imposed load on
the legs will also increase. Examine all slings before use and discard any that are defective in any way. Slings that are found to be unfit for
purpose should be destroyed to eliminate the risk that they could be reused by a third party.Hooking back to the straight part of the rope is not
recommended as this often leads to localised damage and distortions. The WLL of slings is influenced by the method of useage. Always check
that the Crane hook is positioned over the Centre of Gravity of the load to be lifted which will prevent swinging when the load is raised. Correct
signals in accordance with the recognised code of practice should be used to instruct the crane driver. The signals must be given by the person
responsible for the lift and nobody else.

Keep wire rope slings away from Welding and flame cutting operations. The Law specifies that all lifting Equipment is examiined by a competent
person at regular intervals, this includes wire rope slings.
