Largercapacity slings are available on special order. Extra Heavy Duty Covermax® is standard on70,000 lb. vertical capacity and higher. These slings have overload tell-tails,, inner red cover, andare used worldwide in place of wire rope slings for heavy lifts. They are about 10% of the weightof a steel sling. These products are repairable. The Twin-Path® patented design provides the rig-ger with two connections between the hook and the load for redundant back-up protection.These slings have 1% stretch at rated capacity compared to braided polyester round slingswhich can stretch up to 9%. If ergonomics, productivity and safety are important, then theseslings are the only choice.

• SOFT SLING WON’T MAR LOAD

• EASILY REPAIRABLE AND MADE TO EXACT LENGTH

TWIN-PATH® EXTRA SLINGS SAVE TIME AND MONEY

MADE EXTRA TOUGH AND EXTRA SOFTTWIN-PATH® slings are actually 2 complete slings in one, each making separate connections between hook and load. TWIN-PATH® slings have double-layered covers for extra protection. This back-up system could help maintain control of the load shoulddamage occur. It’s the same kind of redundancy described in the lifting regulations for nuclear plants.

EXTENDED USE MAKES THEM MORE ECONOMICALWear points can be shed so that TWIN-PATH® slings last longer than many other types of slings . . . resistant to most acid conditions.

SOFT AND FLEXIBLE FOR ADDED LOAD PROTECTIONTWIN-PATH® slings adapt easily to vertical, basket or choker lifts . . . shape easily to fit hooks or shackles that might be too smallfor other slings . . . and gives the widest possible bearing contact with the load. Their flexibility makes them both easy to handleand easy to store in a restricted space.

EASY TO INSPECT

UNIQUE SAFETY FEATURES

Double-layered, color-coded covers make them easy to inspect. When the outer cover is cut, the red inner layer shows through.This tells the inspector to remove the sling from service.

FIBER OPTIC INSPECTION FOR ALL TWIN-PATH® SLINGSFIBER OPTICTELL-TAILS®

Twin-Path® slings have the Fiber Optic inspection system. The condition of the internal core yarn can be inspected just by check-ing the continuity of the fiber optic cable. If crushing or cutting, heat or chemical damage, has occurred then the damage to thefiber optic cable will destroy its ability to transmit light from one end to the other giving the inspector a reason to remove the slingfrom service and send it in for repair evaluation.The fiber optic cable will conduct light using natural, overhead or flashlight sources.The inspector simply covers and removes his finger from one end and watches the other end for blinking which indicates that thesling is OK to use for another lift.

TWIN-PATH® EYE & EYE SYNTHETIC SLINGTPXCEE & TPCEE Slings are made to be an eye and eye sling only. They have a loop at each end and sin-gle tube body (still divided into two separate paths). This sling is light, strong and less expensive than a round-sling with a sleeve. It can be manufactured using either K-Spec® core yarn or polyester. Riggers have told usthat they have some applications where they want only an eye and eye sling. This is the one with all of theTwin-Path® features in a strictly eye and eye product.

TWIN PATH® TWO-LEG BRIDLES

TWIN-PATH® TWO-LEG BRIDLESTPXCTL & TPCTL slings are simply the lightest and strongest synthetic bridles in the world today. these are perfect toreplace existing chain and, wire rope bridles. The Twin-Path® synthetic bridle with K-Spec® core yarn is less than halfthe weight of any steel assembly and is the ergonomic bridle of the future, here today. The loop at the top goes on thecrane hook and there is no heavy steel ring to deal with. If you need a four leg bridle, just order two Twin-Path® Two Legbridles. Please specify the loop size required at the top and any hardware such as hooks for the bottom of each leg.Hooks or other hardware can be removed if attached with G-link™ connectors or roundsling shackles rather than beingmade into place.

TWIN-PATH® ADJUSTABLE BRIDLE FOR OFF-CENTER LOADS

SE When you have a hot environment up to 3000f, use a Sparkeater® to lift the load without marring the surface of the lifted piece.Also, when doing stage rigging order this products for the protection it gives from exposure to fire, heat, sparks and pyrotechnics.Just specify black color for the theater or yellow for all other applications. These slings are made from Nomex® for the cover andAramid high performance core yarns. Available in capacities of 2,000 to 30,000 lbs. When lifting heated steel. wire rope or chainslings might scratch the load causing expensive rework. Fire exposure testing was performed by the Offshore Certification Bureauand the product was identified as being as good as wire rope or chain for use in off shore applications in the oil industry.

The Twin-Path® Adjustable Sling is a multi-purpose rigging tool and it’s important that it is used properly. The adjustment ring has adouble sling on one side and a single sling on the other side.

If the lifting points are an equal distance from thecenter of gravity then the Twin-Path® Adjustablecan be hooked-up with the double or single slingon either lifting point.

If the lifting points are an equal distance oneither side of the center of gravity, but one ishigher, then the double sling should beattached to the higher lifting point.

If one of the lifting points is closer to the cen-ter of gravity, then attach the double sling tothis lifting point. It will have the highestweight concentration. If the Twin-Path®

Adjustable is attached so that the singlesling is nearest the center of gravity, it willnot allow the lift to be made.

Never use the Twin-Path® AdjustableBridle in situations where the sling-to-hook angle is greater than 45°. Alwaysconnect above the center of gravity. Ifconnections are made below the cen-ter of gravity, then the load may turnwhen lifted.

NOTE: Please Specify Length of Padsand Sling Width, Thickness orDiameter.

Covermax™ Wear Pads (Style CM)Wear Pads protect loads and slings. CM Wear Pads are cut resistant and can be madeready to use in any length or width. They fit wire rope, chain, nylon webbing or any regularrope or sling product. These pads can also be made into long lengths which the customercan cut into suitable sizes on the job. Double or triple thickness provide cut resistance forthe most severe conditions.

•CM-SL (Sliding Type)CM-SL Pads are sliding wear pads that wrap around the sling body with sewn seams alongboth edges or seamless tubulaR design that can then slide into position to protect the sling.they can also be used in the sling eye.

•CM-RM (Removable Sliding Type)CM-RM Pads is a removable wear pad with a hook & loop fastener on one edge and theother edge sewn shut.

•CM-EE (Sleeve to make an Eye & Eye sling)CM-EE sleeves are used to enclose both legs of a Twin-Path™ or roundsling so that it looksand functions like an eye & Eye sling. (Note: Remove sleeve after use to inspect sling andchange wear points.)

•CM-RMT (Removable Sliding Tubular Pad)CM-RMT ads are made to wrap around a small items like rope, wire rope, or chain. Theyhave hook & loop fasteners on one side.

•CM-SEW (Single Ply Sewn into Place)CM-SEW Pads are single plies of covermax™ sewn into place on one side of a web, roundor Twin-Path sling or eye.

CORNERMAX™ WEAR PADS

CORNERMAX™ WEAR PADSPATENT PENDINGCovermax™ wear pads are good for abrasion protection but a different type ofwear pad is best to protect the sling from corners and edges. The new CornerMax™wear pad forms a tunnel between the pad and the edge, greatly reducing the possibility ofcontact and cutting. These pads can have fixed loops or hook & loop attachments for easyinstallation on the sling at the point of contact. They can protect the sling from loads up to100,000 lbs.

SHACKLE PIN-PADSThe pin area of a shackle can cause synthetic slings to cut and plac-ing synthetic slings on the pin should be avoided. Even a new shack-le can have a sharp edge where the threaded pin goes through theshackle ear. If the sling is exposed to this area, it can cut and fail.

The Shackle Pin-Pad is the latest SLINGMAX® SOLUTION in theconstant effort to ensure the ultimate rigging safety of our cus-tomers. If you must rig on the pin, protect your sling with a SLING-MAX® Pin-Pad.

Our Roundslings are constructed of 100% polyester load bearing internal yarns. The load bearing yarns are protected by aSEAMLESS polyester cover. Due to the tubular design of the protective cover, the Roundsling is made without seams, thus, thereis no weakening in the strength of the covering materials and no edges to contend with.

Each sling has a durable tag permanently attached. This tag contains load capacities and all information currently required bythe various regulatory agencies.

CAUTION—Slings are subject to cutting when lifting on sharp edges. Edges in contact with the sling must be padded with materialof sufficient thickness to prevent damage to the sling.The sleeve is sewn around the cover of the Roundsling so that it can be positionedto the area where it is needed. (see page 26 for additional information on sleeves.)

RATED CAPACITY FOR POLYESTER ROUNDSLINGS

POLYESTER ROUNDSLINGSSINGLE PATH POLYESTER ROUNDSLING

• Hook, and load contact points can continually be rotated to further extend not only the wear life of the protective outer cover, butthe overall service cycle of the sling.

• The load bearing yarns never come into contact with the load.There is no wear to them as long as the protective outer cover remainsintact.

• Wide variety of sling lengths and load capacities.• Protects not only the load, but the user’s hands.• Adapts to all types, sizes and load configurations.• SEAMLESS COVER—no edges to wear out.• Lightweight—easy to handle, store and clean• Excellent resistance to ultraviolet light, rot and mildew.• Only 3% elongation.• Maximum temperature exposure 180°F.• No loss of strength in water.• Soft and pliable.

ROUNDSLING SAFE USE & INSPECTION

MECHANICAL CONSIDERATIONS

1) Determine weight of the load.2) Select proper polyester roundsling having suitable characteristics for the type of load, hitchand environment. only polyester roundslings with legible identification tags shall be used.3) Polyester roundslings shall not be loaded in excess of their rated capacity. Considerationshall be given to the angle from the horizontal (load to roundsling angle) which affects ratedcapacity.4) Polyester roundslings with fittings which are used in a choker hitch shall be of sufficient lengthto assure that the choking action is on the polyester roundsling and never on the fitting.5) Polyester roundslings used in a basket hitch shall have the load balanced to preventslippage.6) Polyester roundslings shall not be dragged on the floor or over an abrasive surface.7) Polyester roundslings shall not be twisted or tied into knots, or joined by knotting.8) Polyester roundslings shall not be pulled from under loads when the load is resting on thesling.9) Polyester roundslings shall be used with lifting devices that are compatible with roundslings.10) Polyester roundslings shall always be protected from being cut by sharp corners, sharpedges, protrusions or abrasive surfaces.11) Do not drop polyester roundslings equipped with metal fittings.12) The opening in fittings shall be the proper shape and size to insure that the fitting will seatproperly in the hook or other attachments.13) Polyester roundsling protective covers that are cut, exposing the load bearing yarn, shallbe removed from service.14) Consideration shall be given to the fitting’s radius in that it shall be compatible to that ofthe crane hook on which it is to be used.15) Consideration shall be given to the distribution of load weight on a multi-legged lift.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS1) Polyester roundslings should be stored in a cool, dry, and dark place to prevent loss of strengthwhen not in use through exposure to ultra-violet rays. Polyester roundslings shall not be storedin chemically active areas.2) Chemically active environments can affect the strength of synthetic polyester roundslingsin varying degrees ranging from little to total degradation.The polyester roundsling manufactureror a qualified person shall be consulted before polyester roundslings are used in chemicallyactive environments.

ACIDS1) Polyester is resistant to many acids, but is subject to degradation ranging from little tomoderate in some acids.2) Each application shall be evaluated, taking into consideration the following:

a. Type of acidb. Exposure conditionsc. Concentrationd. Temperature

ALKALIS1) Polyester is subject to degradation in alkalis, ranging from little to total degradation.2) Each application shall be evaluated, taking into consideration the following:

a. Type of alkalib. Exposure conditionsc. Concentrationd. Temperature

3) Polyester roundslings shall not be used at temperatures in excess of 194˚F (90˚C), or attemperatures below minus 40˚F (-40˚C).4) Polyester roundslings incorporating aluminum fittings shall not be used where fumes,vapors, sprays, mists or liquids of alkalis and/or acids are present.

RECOMMENDED OPERATING PRACTICES FOR ROUNDSLINGS

BASIC RULES OF HITCHING1) RATED CAPACITY: Be sure the polyester roundsling you intend to use is strong enoughfor the job (refer to identification tag on the polyester roundsling).2) WARNING! Rated capacities are affected by the Angle of Lift (roundsling to load angle) whenused in multi-legged polyester roundslings or basket hitches.3) CONTROL AND BALANCE: Use a hitch that will keep the load under control at all times,and be sure the lifting device is directly over center of gravity (CG).4) PREVENT DAMAGE: Use corner protectors on sharp or abrasive corners and edges.5) LIFTING LOAD: Lift load carefully, accelerating smoothly. Avoid shock loading.6) CONDITIONS OF POLYESTER ROUNDSLINGS: Inspect roundslings and their partscarefully before each lift and at regular intervals. Remove the polyester roundsling fromservice if any conditions cause doubt as to the strength of the roundsling.

POLYESTER ROUNDLSLING INSPECTION1) INSPECTION RECORDS

a) Written inspection records should be established and kept on file for each polyesterroundsling. This record should include all the information taken from the polyester roundsling’s identification tag (type, reach, rated capacity), along with its location.These records should be updated after each inspection.

b) Polyester roundslings shall be visually inspected by a designated person handling thepolyester roundsling before each use. These visual observations shall be concerned with the identification tag and discovering damage. Polyester roundslings shall be removed from service if there is any doubt as to the condition of the polyester roundsling.

2) TYPE OF INSPECTIONa) Initial Inspection – Before any polyester roundsling is placed into service it shall be

inspected by a designated person to ensure that the correct polyester roundsling is beingused, as well as to determine that the polyester roundsling meets the requirements ofthe manufacturer’s specification.

b) Frequent Visual Inspection – This inspection shall be made by the person handlingthe polyester roundsling each time the roundsling is used.

c) Periodic Inspection – This inspection shall be conducted by a designated person.Frequency of inspection should be based on:

1. Frequency of use.2. Severity of service conditions.3. Experience gained on service life of polyester roundslings used in similar

applications.4. Periodic inspections should be conducted at least monthly.

3) REMOVAL FROM SERVICEA polyester roundsling shall be removed from service if any of the following is visible:

a) If polyester roundsling identification tag is missing or unreadable.b) Melting, charring or weld spatter on any part of the polyester roundsling.c) Holes, tears, cuts, embedded particles, abrasive wear, or snags that expose the core

fibers of the polyester roundsling.d) Broken or worn stitching in the cover which exposes the core fibers.e) Fittings when damaged, stretched or distorted in any way.f) Polyester roundslings that are knotted.g) Acid or alkali burns on the polyester roundsling.h) Any conditions which cause doubt as to the strength of the polyester roundsling.

Slings with polyester or Cordura® covers should not be exposed to temperatures above 82°C/180°F Nomex® covered Aramid SparkeaterSlings should not be exposed to temperatures over 149°C/300°F. Slings with Spectra® Olefin cores should not be exposed to temperatures above 65°C/150°F. K-Spec® Core Slingsshould not be exposed to temperatures above 82°C/180°F. Cold temperature exposure down to minus 40°C/minus 40°F do not affect the strength of the products. Other temperaturesshould be referred to the manufacturer.

9.1.4 Slings using aluminum fittings shall not be used where fumes, vapors, sprays, or mists of alkalis or acids are present.9.1.5 Twin-Path® Lifting Slings, Roundslings, and any fittings attached should be the subject of frequent and regular inspections. In addition to the initial inspection by a competent person

and frequent written inspections, the slings should be visually inspected before each use.9.1.6 Written inspections should be performed each 30 days and documents of such inspections by a competent person shall be kept on file in the safety department of the plant or site

where used. Inspections may be done more often based on frequency of use, severity of conditions, experience of past service life.9.1.7 Slings should be examined throughout their length for abrasion, cuts, heat damage, fitting distortion or damage, tag legibility, and if any doubts are held by the inspector, the sling

should be removed from service. Core integrity is determined by hand inspection of the entire sling or by fiber optic light transfer if this type of tell-tail is installed in the sling. If adeterioration is found, the sling must be removed from service and returned to the manufacturer for evaluation.

9.1.8 Slings removed from service that are not capable of repair should be destroyed and rendered completely unfit for future use.9.1.9 Abrasion, heat damage or cuts to the cover may indicate a loss of strength to the load core and these slings should not be used until evaluated by the manufacturer. At area of damage,

cover should be opened and the core yarns counted and visually inspected.10.0 Proof Testing Procedures for Complete Twin-Path® Sling Products.10.1.1 Complete slings shall be tested using pins of at least 2” diameter or larger material.10.1.2 Proof tests shall consist of pulling the slings to twice their rated capacity as shown in the appropriate tables. Slings shall be held at the proof test limit for a period of 15 seconds and

then the tension may be released.

7.1.1 When not in use, slings should be stored in a clean dry place. Heat sources and non-ventilated placesshould be avoided.

7.1.2 Chemically active environments can affect the strength of Lifting Slings. Different chemicals will react withdifferent exposure to CoverMax® Bulkd Nylon, Dacron® Polyester, Kevlar® Aramid, Nomex® Aramid, andSpectra® Olefin. Please see the enclosed tables for reactions of specific chemicals.

Aramids are resistant to most ketones, alcohols, dry cleaning solvents and many other organic solvents. Its acidresistance is superior to that of nylon but is not as good as that of polyester. Aramids shows good resistance toalkalis at room temperature, but is degraded by strong alkalis at higher temperatures.

Aramids are compatible with fluorine-containing elastomers, resins, and refrigerants at high temperatures, and isresistant to fluorine compounds in concentrations usually encountered in stack gases from metallurgical and rock-processing operations.

7.0 — ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

6.2.1 Determine the weight of the load. The weight of the load shall be within the rated capacity of the sling.

6.2.2 Select a sling having suitable characteristics for the type of load, hitch and environment.

6.2.3 Slings shall not be loaded in excess of the rated capacity. Consideration shall be given to angle of lift which may affectthe lifting capacity. Diameters of pins and sharp edges also may affect the capacity of the lifting sling.

6.2.4 Slings used in a choker shall not be forced to tighten around the load by pounding with hammers or other objects. Chokerhitches are the least effective way to use a sling based on capacity. Two chokers should be used to balance the load.One choker in the center of the load may create an unbalanced situation which could lead to an accident.

6.2.5 Slings used in a basket hitch must have the load balanced to prevent slippage and accidents.

6.2.6 Slings used with fittings shall be compatible with the fittings used. The lifting capacity shall be rated at the lower of thefitting or sling. Fitting openings shall be of the proper shape and size to assure that the sling will seat properly.

6.2.7 Slings shall be protected from cutting and sharp edges. All sharp protrusions and abrasive surfaces will be kept fromcontact with the sling. Where poor situations develop padding shall be interjected between the sling and the load. Slingsshould not be attached to the pin area of shackles. This practice leads to bunching and cutting of the sling and prema-ture failure.

6.2.8 Slings shall not be dragged on the floor or across other surfaces which may damage the sling.

6.2.9 Slings shall not be twisted or tied in knots to shorten.

6.2.10 Slings shall not be pulled from under loads resting on the sling.

6.2.11 Do not drop objects on slings or run over them with vehicles.

6.2.12 Slings which are damaged shall not be used.

6.2.13 Sling hitches must provide control of the load.

6.2.14 Portions of the human body shall be kept from between the sling and the load and from between the sling and anyattachment to lifting devices such as hooks.

6.2.15 Personnel shall stand clear of suspended loads.

6.2.16 Personnel shall not ride on the sling or suspended loads.

6.2.17 Avoid snatch or shock loading.

6.2.18 Twisting and kinking of the legs of the sling shall be avoided.

6.2.19 It is important to rotate the sling bearing points to prevent cover and core damage from extended wear. Rotating slingbearing points will greatly increase sling life.

6.2.20 Loads applied to the hook should be centered in the bowl of the hooks. Do not point load the hook. Hooks must beshaped to properly support the sling without bunching.

6.2.21 During lifting with or without the load, all personnel shall be alert for possible snagging.

6.2.22 The slings should contain or support the load from the sides above the center of gravity so that the loadwill not tilt when the load is lifted.

6.2.23 Slings shall be of the proper length so that the angle of the sling to the load does not reduce the ratedcapacity below the capacity needed to safely lift the load.

6.2.24 Only legibly marked or labeled slings should be used. If the tag is not legible, or missing, the sling shouldnot be used.

6.2.25 Keep labels or tags away from the load, the hook and the angle of choke.

6.2.26 All Slings should be inspected each time before each lift.

1 Bulk Strength is defined as strength per circumference squared.2 Working is defined as rope actually in use under a cycling load.3 Co-efficient of friction is based on reluctance to slip or slide.4 Critical temperature is defined as the point at which degradation is caused by temperature alone.

Cold-Flow (Creep) is defined as a fiber deformation (elongation) due to molecular slippage under a constantsteady static loading situation. Fibers that have this inherent characteristic will display extremely low or negligiblecreep if minor fluctuations occur in the rate and/or frequency of load levels. In rope form, this would apply topolypropylene, and HDPE Olefin Fibers.

(Using Nylon as a basis of 1.0)

The resistance of Aramids to oxides of sulphur at temperatures above the acid dew point is superior to that of polyester. Below thedew point, concentrated sulphuric acid may condense on the fiber and cause a progressive loss in strength.

In moderate to strong acid or alkali environments, evaluation of Aramids should be made to ensure that the yarn will performacceptably before use.

Polyester and nylon are not significantly affected by most compounds of the following classes:

Alcohols

Dry Cleaning Solvents

Halogenated Hydrocarbons

Ketones

Soaps and Synthetic Detergents

Water (Including Sea Water)

Polyester also shows good to excellent resistance to:

Aqueous solutions of most weak acids at the boil, and to most strong acids at room temperature, but is disintegrated by concen-trated (95%) sulphuric acid at room temperature.

Aqueous solutions of strong alkalis at room temperature, but is degraded at the boil.

Oxidizing agents, and is not degraded by bleaching treatments ordinarily used for textiles.

Nylon is not significantly affected by most aldehydes, alkalis, ethers, or hydrocarbons, but is deteriorated by dilute acids (e.g.,hydrochloric acid and sulphuric acid in 10% concentrations at room temperature cause a noticeable loss in breaking strength in10 hours).

Solvents for nylon include:

Concentrated formic acid

Phenolic compounds at room temperature

Calcium chloride in methanol at room temperature

Hot solutions of calcium chloride in:

Glacial Acetic Acid

Ethylene Chlorohydrin

Ethylene Glycol

Hot solutions of zinc chloride in methanol

Benzyl alcohol at the boil

Aramids are resistant to most weak acids and alkalis, ketones, alcohols, hydrocarbons, oils and dry cleaning solvents. Strong acidsand bases and sodium hypo-chlorite bleach attack aramids, particularly at high temperatures of high concentrations.

Spectra® has excellent chemical resistance.

Unilink® advantages over most steel end fittings: Positive webbing entrapment in the bearing slot. Top curved bearing area forthe hook or web in choker hitch guides the choker action carefully along sling line axis. Acts as a choker fitting for either end ordirection. Larger hook opening than triangles or chokers. Forged medium carbon steel for strength and ductility. Smooth, roundedforging profile to protect webbing. Zinc dichromate plate for corrosion resistance. Designed for both single or two ply slings.

Unilink (UU) slings are less expensive than aluminum or steel triangle and choker (TC) slings. In some cases they cost lessthan triangle and triangle (TT) slings. In all cases they can be rewebbed many times, for either one or two ply.

RATED CAPACITYThe term “Rated Capacity,” as used in this catalog represents the ratio of the minimum breaking strength divided by a safety fac-tor of five. The rated capacities in our catalog apply to a new and unused sling, in a straight pull, under ideal sling conditions, andideal test conditions. NOTE: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEED RATED CAPACITY.

ELONGATIONWeb slings will stretch when loaded, and this stretch is measured as a percent of the sling length with no load. LIFCO Nylon Slingsstretch about seven percent at their rated capacity, and our polyester slings stretch about one-half that much at their rated capac-ity. The elongation may vary with web and sling construction. Sling will recoil and cause injury or death if released under load.

TEMPERATURESynthetic web slings should be not be used where they will be exposed to temperatures over 180° F.

TYPES OF SLING WEBBINGNYLON—Slings made of nylon web are by far the most popular and best suited slings for general usage. Nylon is the strongestmaterial available for web sling usage and it has elastic properties that are desirable in many instances. Nylon slings are not affect-ed by grease or oil and have good chemical resistance. (See Chemical Information Chart on page 22).Their stretch at rated capac-ity is approximately 7 percent, and their temperature limit is 180°F.

POLYESTER—Slings made of polyester should be used when acid conditions exist, or a minimum of stretch is desired. Theirstretch at rated capacity is approximately 1/2 that of nylon slings and they are good in most chemical environments except con-centrated sulphuric acid, aldehydes, and ethers. Polyester web also has a temperature limit of 180°F.

TREATMENT FOR ABRASION RESISTANCEAll slings are treated with yellow latex for abrasion resistance unless otherwise specified. Wear Pads should be used to preventabrasion and cutting.

These are some of the most common types of web sling damage caused by abuse and misuse. When you see any of these prob-lems during your regular inspection, stop. Replace the sling immediately because the damage is done. Never attempt to mend thesling yourself and, more so, never attempt to lift with these slings.

Whether a sling is damaged from improper use or normal wear, the same rule applies in all cases: always cut the sling eyesand discard the sling right away when you see the damage. Only with proper working slings can you take a load off your mind.

TENSILE BREAKThe distinguishing sign of a tensile break is a frayed appearance close to the point of failure or damage.This usually happens whena sling is loaded beyond its existing strength. The photo shows an example of a sling pulled to destruction on a testing machine.You an avoid tensile breaks by never overloading your sling.

CUTYou an easily see a cut in your sling when you see a clean break in the webbing structure or fibers. This usually results when asling contacts a sharp object or unprotected edge of a load.This can happen anywhere on the sling body or eyes. Many slings fea-ture Red Guard warning yarns to alert you of serious cuts. One way you can avoid cuts from contacting sharp corners is to usewear pads on the sling to protect the fabric. See page 20 for details.

CUT AND TENSILE DAMAGEA good example is the photo shown here. It shows what can happen when you use a sling that’s already been cut by a sharp objectalong one edge of the sling body. The cut dramatically reduces lifting capacity, and continued use will ultimately lead to sling fail-ure, usually at a load far below the sling’s rated capacity. The solution, obviously, is to never use a sling after it’s been cut.

ABRASION DAMAGEAnytime you see frayed fibers on the surface exposing the “picks,” or cross fibers, of the webbing that hold the load-bearing (length-wise) fibers in place, it’s abrasion damage. The most common abrasion damage occurs either when the sling slips while in contactwith a load during a lift or when the sling is pulled from under a load. When you see the Red Guard warning yarns exposed, it’syour signal that serious damage—and loss of lifting capacity—has occurred. We recommend that slings with any damage to load-bearing fibers be discarded. Wear pads are one way to avoid this damage.

ACID DAMAGEIt’s true nylon and polyester webbing are stable when exposed to many common chemicals, but they should never be exposed toany strong acids or corrosive liquids whenever possible. The same is true for metal fittings on slings.

Example 1 (top photo).This is what happens when sulfuric acid, like car battery acid is heated to the boiling point and droppedon nylon webbing. The charring on the surface fibers deteriorates the sling and will continue to get worse, severely affecting thewebbing strength.

Example 2 (bottom photo). This is what happens when nylon webbing is immersed in sulfuric acid at room temperature forthree weeks, resulting in major damage. Note the fibers are softened and swollen, and the entire fabric is grossly distorted, virtu-ally destroying the webbing.You an help prevent this damage by never storing slings in areas where they may be exposed to acidor acid fumes, which are as destructive as liquid.

WHY PROPER CLEANING AND STORAGE IS VITALAll it takes is a little ordinary dirt, grit and grime to reduce the overall strength and life of your sling. It’s very easy for these con-taminants to penetrate between fibers anytime the webbing bends, pulls tight against loads, or stretches and relaxes during load-ing and unloading. Once in place, they grind against the fibers, reducing their strength and useful life.

That’s why it’s a good idea to properly store your slings when they’re out of service and to clean them when they becomesoiled. When slings are clean, they’re not only easier to inspect, they’re also stronger and more durable.

There are many procedures you an use to clean your slings, depending on how soiled they are. For every day dirt and grime,you can clean with soap or detergent and water for good results.

Whatever cleaning method you use, always hang your washed slings in a dry, sheltered place. Always keep slings from pro-longed contact with direct sunlight during drying and storage because ultraviolet rays can degrade synthetic fibers. Nylon or poly-ester slings that have been dyed any color but white will fade somewhat due to washing, but this in no way affects the strength ofthe webbing.

Both nylon and polyester webbing have an extremely low water absorption rate, making them flexible, light and easy to han-dle even after prolonged soaking in water. Both show excellent resistance to mold, mildew and fungus, although dirt that accumu-lates on slings may support their growth, and that’s why regular cleaning is very important.

1. DETERMINE RATEDCAPACITY

Needed to safely lift your load. Match slingand type hitch on rated capacity chart to equalor exceed your load.

2. CHECK SLING-TO-LOAD ANGLE

Rated capacities are stated at twosling-to-load angles. 30° for a ChokerHitch and 90° for a Basket Hitch.

3. BALANCE ISIMPORTANT

Use more than one sling if necessaryfor balance. Avoid load slipage. There’ssafety in sling numbers.

4. DANGER!ACIDS ANDCAUSTICS!

Don’t use nylon slingaround acids. Don’t usepolyester around caustics.Don’t use any sling in tem-peratures over 180°.

5. SLING LOAD

6. DON’T PULLSLING FROMUNDER LOAD

The full weight of load on sling can dam-age sling and reduce performance.

7. AVOID ABRASIVE SURFACESDon’t drag slings on flooring or over equipment.

As the included angle between the legs of a sling increases, the load on each leg increases. The effect is the same whether asingle sling is used as a basket, or two slings are used with each in a straight pull, as with a 2-legged bridle.

Anytime pull is exerted at an angle on a leg or legs of a sling, the load per leg can bedetermined by using the data in the table at left. Proceed as follows to calculate this load anddetermine the rated capacity required of the sling or slings, needed for a lift.

1. First, divide the total load to be lifted by the number of legs to be used. This provides theload per leg if the lift were being made with all legs lifting vertically.

2. Determine the angle between the legs of the sling and the horizontal.3. Then MULTIPLY the load per leg (as computed in No. 1 above) by the Load Factor for

the leg angle being used (from the table at left) - to compute the ACTUAL LOAD on each legfor this lift and angle. THE ACTUAL LOAD MUST NOT EXCEED THE RATED SLING CAPACI-TY.

(Sling angle at 60°): 1000 - 2 = 500 (Load Per Leg if a vertical lift) 500 x 1.154 = 577 Ibs. =ACTUAL LOAD on each leg at the 60° included angle being used.

(Sling angle of 45°): 1000 - 2 = 500 (Load Per Leg if a vertical lift) 500 x 1.414 = 707 Ibs. =ACTUAL LOAD on each leg at the 45° horizontal angle being used.

CALCULATING THE LOAD ON EACH LEG OF A SLING

Cited below are removal criteria established by the Occupational Safety andHealth Administration and the American National Standard Institute Safety Standard.

1. OSHA 1910.184: Criteria for Removal From Service. Synthetic web slingsshall be immediately removed from service if any of the following conditions arepresent: (a) acid or caustic burns; (b) melting or charring of any part of the slingsurface; (c) snags, punctures, tears or cuts; (d) broken or worn stitches; (e) distortionof fittings.

2. ANSI B30.9-9-5.6.2. Possible Defects. A sling shall be removed from service ifany defects, such as the following, are visible: (a) acid or caustic burns; (b) melting orcharring of any part of the sling surface; (c) snags, punctures, tears or cuts; (d)broken or worn stitches; (e) wear or elongation exceeding the amount recommendedby manufacturer; (f) distortion of fittings; (g) other apparent defects which causedoubt as to the strength of the sling should be referred to the manufacturer for

determination.To these we recommend adding the following reasons for removal from service:

(a) Distortion of the sling identification tag which renders any portion of it illegible.Riggers must be able to read this vital information easily and quickly; (b) Loading asling beyond its rated capacity. Anytime a sling has been loaded beyond the tagstated capacity—purposely or inadvertently—its future usefulness is suspect.

While most of the foregoing standards are quite specific regarding some removalcriteria, a certain amount of judgment is involved in others. The issue of wear to thesling body, the selvage edge of webbing, and to sling eyes creates the greatestamount of contention. We recommend that any exposure of the RED GUARDwarning yarns is sufficient cause to remove a sling from service and destroy it.

NOTE: We do not repair or recommend the repair of used slings or tie-downstraps. Hardware can be reused if properly inspected and tested.

REMOVAL CRITERIA

WEB SLING SAFETY AND INSPECTION

1. Inspect slings for damage before each use.2. Slings shall not be exposed to temperatures in excess of the manufacturer's

recommendation. (Normally 180°F)3. A sling shall be used that is long enough to provide the maximum practical angle

between the sling leg and the horizontal.4. Slings shall not be shortened with knots, bolts, or similar methods.5. Twisting and/or kinking the legs of a sling is prohibited.6. A sling shall not be loaded in excess of its rated capacity.7 The load shall be centered in the base (bowl) of the hook to prevent point loading.8. Slings used in a basket hitch shall have the load balanced to prevent slippage.9. A sling shall be padded or protected from edges, corners or protrusions.10. Hands or fingers shall not be placed between the sling and its load.11. Each sling shall be securely hitched to its load.12. The load shall be kept free to move before lifting and shall be kept clear of all

obstructions.13. Shock loading shall be avoided as sling may recoil and cause injury or death.

14. All personnel must stand clear of a suspended load.15. Don't pull sling from under load, the full weight of the load can damage the sling

and reduce performance.16. Nylon slings shall not be used where acid conditions exist.17 Polyester slings shall not be used where caustic conditions exist.18. Polyester and nylon slings shall not be used at temperatures in excess of 180

degrees F.19. Aluminum fittings shall not be used where caustic conditions exist.20. Damaged slings should be replaced not repaired.21. Avoid abrasive surfaces, don't drag slings on flooring or over equipment.22. If the red core markers of the webbing can be seen, the sling should be removed

from service.23. Prolonged exposure to ultra-violet light will degrade webbing and weaken sling.24. Use Common Sense: If a sling looks damaged or its rated capacities not known,

don't use it.25. Slings may recoil if load is unexpectedly released. The recoil may cause injury or

death.

GATOR-MAX™ WIRE ROPE SLING WITH PARALLEL EYES

US Patent #5,561,973 & Patents Pending

This is the strongest multi-part sling with great flexibility. It will develop its full strength on small pinswith a D/d ration of 1/1 where D is the sling body andd is the pin. (4/1 D/d when comparing the component

parts to the pin). For heavy lifting work this is the mostefficient wire rope sling that meets all of the standards.The eyes have the wire ropes (12) laid in parallel sothat there is no cross over and then they are wrappedwith heavy duty material to keep them in position. Thissling was developed to meet conditions specified bythe US Navy and the Wire Rope Technical Board SlingManual. Testing has proven it to be the strongest multi-part wire rope sling when attached to small pinsbecause it has twelve parts of wire rope in the loop ina parallel construction.

GATOR-LAID® WIRE ROPE SLINGUS Patent #4,240,659 & #5,561,973

This is identical to the Gator-Max™ sling with the parallel eyes except it has metal sleeves for the spliceconnection. This is the product when a big lift butshorter sling is required. It also has twelve parts ofwire rope in the loop. The Gator-Flex® andGator-Laid® products were developed in conjunctionwith the off shore oil industry to provide the world'sbest heavy lift wire rope slings.

ANGLE OF CHOKE IN DEGREES RATED CAPACITY PERCENT

SLING USE AND SUGGESTIONS

OVER 120 10090 - 120 8760 - 89 7430 - 59 620 - 29 49

For wire rope slings in choker hitch when angle of choke is less than 120°. Percent of sling rated capacity in a choker hitch.

If a load is hanging free, the normal choke angle is approximately 135 degrees.When the angle is less than 135 degrees an adjust-ment in the sling rated capacity must be made. Choker hitches at angles greater than 135 degrees are not recommended sincethey are unstable. Extreme care should be taken to determine the angle of choke as accurately as possible.

In controlled tests, where the angle was less than 120 degrees, the sling body always failed at the point of choke when pulledto destruction. Allowance for this phenomenon must be made anytime a choker hitch is used to shift, turn or control a load, or whenthe pull is against the choke in a multi-leg lift.

Find Out: Weight of load, shape of load and its balance, how the load is to be lifted, size of the load, overhead room available, envi-ronmental conditions.

Suggested Proper Sling Based On: Rated load, sling type, kind of sling (Press-Grip, Cable-Laid, Hand-Braided, etc.), specialfittings (Links, hooks, thimbles, protectors, etc.). NOTE: Never exceed 30° angle from horizontal.

Precautions to Take: Use only for rated load, never “Shock” load, protect sling from sharp corners, never use sling if damagedor corroded, avoid dragging sling under or over loads, avoid dropping slings from heights, avoid rolling loads with slings, maintainslings by proper storage and lubrication, avoid extreme heat and corrosive atmospheres.

INSPECTION OF SLINGSHere are some things to look for when inspecting slings: Broken wires, with special attention to ferrules and fittings, condition ofthe ferrule, corrosion, kinks, abrasion, extreme eye elongation, crushed areas, slippage of strands from ferrule.

STORAGEWire rope slings should be stored in an area where they will not be damaged by: Moisture, extreme heat, corrosion (chemical),being run over by vehicular traffic, kinking.

OSHA SAYS1. Slings and their fittings and fastenings, when in use, shall be inspected daily for evidence of overloading, excessive wear,

or damage. Slings found to be defective shall be removed from service.2. A wire rope sling shall be retired if it develops ten randomly distributed broken wires in one rope lay, or five broken wires in

one strand in one rope lay.3. Fiber core slings of all grades shall be permanently removed from service if they are exposed to temperatures in excess of

200°F. If steel core slings are submitted to temperatures in excess of 400°F or minus 60°F, the manufacturer shall be consulted.4. Suitable protection shall be provided between the sling and sharp, unyielding surfaces of the load to be lifted.

D/d RATIOSling eyes are designed to provide what amounts to “small inverted slings” at the ends of the sling body. Therefore, the width ofthe eye opening will be affected by the same general forces which apply to legs of a sling rigged as a basket.

A sling eye should never be used over a hook or pin with a body diameter larger than the natural width of the eye. Never forcean eye onto a hook.

On the other hand, the eye should always be used on a hook or pin with at least the nominal diameter of the rope—sinceapplying the D/d Ratio shows an efficiency loss of approximately 50% when the relationship is less than 1/1.

TABLE A

No precise rules can be given to determine the exact time a sling should be replaced since many variable factors are involved. Safetyin this respect depends largely upon the use of good judgment by an experienced person in evaluating remaining strength in a usedsling. Proper allowance must be made for deterioration as disclosed by inspection. The safety of an operating sling depends uponthis remaining strength.

Conditions such as the following should be sufficient reason for questioning safety of slings and for considering replacement:a. Ten randomly distributed broken wires in one rope lay or five broken wires in one strand in one rope lay.b. Wear or scraping of one-third the original diameter of outside individual wires.c. Kinking, crushing, birdcaging, or other damage resulting in distortion of the rope structure.d. Evidence of heat damage.e. End attachments that are cracked, deformed or worn.f. Hooks that have been open more than 15 percent of the normal throat opening measured at the narrowest point or twisted

more than 10 degrees from the plane of the unbent hook.g. Corrosion or rope or end attachments.

As the included angle between the legs of a sling increases, the load on each leg increases. The effect is the same whether asingle sling is used as a basket, or two slings are used with each in a straight pull, as with a 2-legged bridle.

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 TableA. Proceed as follows to calculate this load and determine the rated capacity required of the sling or slings, needed for a lift.

1. First, divide the total load to be lifted by the number of legs to be used. This provides the load per leg if the lift were beingmade with all legs lifting vertically.

2. Determine the angle between the legs of the sling and the horizontal.3. Then MULTIPLY the load per leg (as computed in No. 1 above) by the Load Factor for the leg angle being used (from

Table A) - to compute the ACTUAL LOAD on each leg for this lift and angle. THE ACTUAL LOAD MUST NOT EXCEED THERATED SLING CAPACITY.

Thus, in drawing three (sling angle at 60°): 1000 – 2 = 500 (Load Per Leg if a vertical lift) 500 x 1.154 = 577 Ibs. = ACTUALLOAD on each leg at the 60° included angle being used.

In drawing four (sling angle of 45°): 1000 – 2 = 500 (Load Per Leg if a vertical lift) 500 x 1.414 = 707 Ibs. = ACTUAL LOADon each leg at the 45° horizontal angle being used.

REPLACEMENT

Whenever any sling is used, it is recommended that the following practices be observed:a. Slings that are unsafe should be destroyed.b. Slings should never be exposed to temperatures in excess of manufacturer’s recommendations.c. Use a sling that is long enough to provide the maximum practical horizontal angle.d. Slings should never be shortened with knots, bolts, or other methods.e. Care should be taken never to twist or kink the legs of a sling.

RECOMMENDED OPERATING PRACTICES

The horizontal angle of bridles with 3 or more legs is measured the same as the horizontal sling angle of 2-legged hitches. Inthis case where a bridle designed with different leg lengths results in horizontal angles, the leg with the smallest horizontal anglewill carry the greatest load. Therefore, the smallest horizontal angle is used in calculating actual leg load and evaluating therated capacity of the sling proposed.

ANGLES OF BRIDLES (DRAWING 6)

CALCULATING THE LOAD ON EACH LEG OF A SLING

It is vitally important to recognize and avoid possible abuses of wire rope slings. By law, the sling user is no longer permitted touse jury-rigged slings and short cuts that were accepted practice for many years. Some of these practices that should be avoidedare:

a. Tying knots in wire rope.b. Using “Home-made” fittings and attachments.c. Making slings from used operating rope.d. Use of any sling that is of questionable strength.

G-80 Alloy steel chain is electrically welded alloy steelembodying the latest manufacturing technology. Alloyprovides a superior chain sling with high tensilestrength and excellent wear resistance. The minimumelongation at break test is 15%. The tensile strengthfollowing heat treatment exceeds all existing OSHA,Government, NACM, and ASTM specification require-ments. The G-80 chain and attachments used in fabri-cating chain slings offer a design factor of a minimumof 4 to 1 when used at recommended working loadlimits. This also meets NACM's System 8 working loadlimits, and is in line with the design factors required bythe International Standards Organization (ISO). Someusers, however, may elect to use the higher workingload limits with a design factor of 3.5 to 1. See index.

1. Determine the maximum load to be lifted.

2. Refer to the following pages and choose the proper type of chain sling (single, double, etc.) dictated by the size, shape and weight of the load.

3. Estimate the approximate angle between a leg of the sling and the load during operation.

4. Select the proper attachments (hooks and master links) for your chain sling.

5. Determine the overall reach from bearing point on master link to bearing point on attachment.

6. Refer to the Working Load Limit Chart and to your pre-determined angle of the type sling you have selected.

7. Choose the chain size which meets your requirements.

8. When entering your order be sure you give complete information as to the size, reach and attachments required.

Note: Angle to the load on multiple leg slings will be 60° or greater as long as the distance between lifting eyes ofload is not greater than reach shown on identification tag.

HOW TO ORDER CHAIN SLINGS

Sling chains are designed and built for rugged lasting service. As with any quali-ty product, however, certain precautions and standards of treatment should beobserved. In order to maximize useful service life, the following cautions and pro-cedures should be noted and followed.

To maximize life expectancy, A CONTINUAL INSPECTION PROGRAM MUST BEUNDERTAKEN. (We offers a variety of printed material outlining inspection pro-cedures and delineating working load limits, as well as technical bulletins andrecord keeping forms).

SLINGS AND ASSEMBLIES MUST NEVER BE USED ABOVE THE WORKINGLOAD LIMIT. Overloading causes stretching and reduction in the material diam-eter of the links. Stretched chain must be removed from service. Refer to thecharts in this catalog for individual working load limits.

Do not rest load on chain.

Inspect load at contact with hooks to be sure the load is properly seated withinthroat opening.

Balance the load. Unbalanced loads can put too much stress on one leg of mul-tiple chain slings.

Never bounce or jerk load when lowering or lifting.

Never force or hammer hooks or chain into position

Store chain slings in a clean dry area, preferably by hanging on racks or wallsrather than placing slings on floors where they are subject to abuse.

Never anneal alloy slings. Return sling to factory for proper repair procedures.

Do not use in acid solutions. Consult manufacturer for recommendations.

Clean chain slings regularly as dirt and grit can cause wear at link bearing points.

A link-by-link inspection will afford an opportunity to discover deep gouges, dis-tortion, spread in the throat opening of hooks and damage to master links andcoupling links. An inspection can also detect elongation of the legs themselves(i.e., reach) and should also include a link-by-link inspection to uncover individuallink wear. Note the Cam-Alloy MINIMUM ALLOWABLE LINK DIAMETER CHARTon this page.

WARNING: When using Cam-Alloy chain slings under conditions where high temperaturesexist, note the HEAT INDUCED REDUCTIONS in WORKING LOAD LIMIT CHART below.When alloy chain is subjected to heat, the working load limit is reduced due to temperembrittlement Consult manufacturer for recommendations

6 X 25 CLASSIFICATION

Because of emphasis on fatigue resistance the problem of choice within the 6 x 37 Classification is greatly reduced. Althoughthere are exceptions, the constructions in the 6 x 37 Classification are primarily designed to be the most efficient for each ropediameter. As the rope size increases, for instance, a large number of wires can be used to achieve required fatigue resistance andstill those wires will be large enough to offer adequate resistance to abrasion. In sizes over two inches, the 6 x 49 SWS construc-tion is normally used. In smaller sizes, however, the outer wires in the 6 x 49 SWS would be so small that their resistance to abra-sion would be lowered.

It should be noted that the greater number of wires make the 6 x 37 classification more susceptible to crushing. This, howev-er, can frequently be overcome by an independent wire rope core and by the use of well designed sheaves and grooved drums.

Most wire ropes with six round strands and with 16 through 26 wires per strand are included in the he 6 x 19 Classification.The 6 x 37 Classification includes most 6-strand, round strand ropes having 27 to 49 wires per strand. Although their physi-cal characteristics may vary widely, all have the same weight per foot and the same nominal strength, size-for-size.

While 6 x 19 ropes give primary emphasis to abrasion resistance in varying degrees, the 6 x 37 ropes are important forfatigue resistance. This fatigue resistance is made possible by the greater number of wires per strand.

The 6 x 19 Seale has outer wires larger than 6 x 21 FW, 6 x 25 FW or 6 x 26 WS, and therefore its resistance to abrasion isincreased but its fatigue resistance is decreased; it is a good rope to withstand abrasion or crushing on the drum.

Outer wires of 6 x 21 FW are larger and fewer than those of 6 x 25 FW, which means better resistance to abrasion but some-what less resistance to bending fatigue, making it a good choice where abrasive wear is accompanied by moderate bending.

A 6 x 25 FW has good balance between resistance to abrasion and fatigue resistance, and is often considered the “work horse”of wire ropes, used for more purposes than any other construction.

The 6 x 26 WS is a compact construction with solid support for the wires, hence it has a high resistance to crushing.Resistance.to abrasion is the same as 6 x 21 FW. Number and relative size of inner wires add to stability of strands, and givefatigue resistance comparable to 6 x 25 FW. It is a good choice where both abrasion resistance and fatigue resistance are required.

*These strengths apply only when a test is conducted with both ends fixed. When in use the strength of theseropes may be significantly reduced if one end is free to rotate.

In an application where a single part hoist rope is used to lift a free load, or where rotation resistant properties are essential forrope performance, a 19 x 7 rope can be used. The rotation resistant characteristic of 19 x 7 rope is achieved by laying six strandsaround a core strand in one direction, and then laying 12 strands around the first operation in the opposite direction. Thus, whenthe rope is in tension, opposing rotational forces are created between the inner and outer layers.

Ropes of 19 x 7 construction require special handling, selection and usage considerations, due to their construction. They aresusceptible to kinking, crushing and unbalancing in the form of "core pops" and “birdcages". Extreme care must be taken to avoidoperational practices which can lead to these conditions.

In addition, frequent, regular inspection for broken wires is critical when using 19 x 7. By design, the 19 x 7 construction hasa relatively low reserve strength. This can result in short service life between the point in time when the broken wire report crite-ria are met and when actual rope fracture occurs.

*These strengths apply only when a test is conducted with both ends fixed. When in use the strength of theseropes may be significantly reduced if one end is free to rotate.

In a multi-part wire rope system where the blocks have a tendency to twist, or for a single part hoist line which does not requirethe degree of rotation resistant properties found in a 19 x 7 rope, the 8 x 25 Resistwist rope has found successful application. Therotation resistant characteristic is achieved by laying the eight outer strands around an independent wire rope core so thesestrands are in the opposite direction to the lay of the core. Thus, when the rope is in tension, opposing rotational forces are creat-ed between core and outer strands.

In addition to 8 x 25 Resistwist ropes being more stable than 19 x 7 ropes, several other advantages exist. The 8 x 25Resistwist has increased resistance to bending fatigue and crushing on drums and sheaves. This is achieved through the use of8-strand construction with an independent wire rope core.

As with any application where the type of rope on an installation is changed, an 8 x 25 Resistwist rope should be substitutedonly after carefully comparing specifications and strength requirements.

The Reserve Strength of a standard rope is a relationshipbetween the strength represented by all the wires in the outerstrands and the wires remaining in the outer strands with theouter layer of wires removed. Reserve strength is calculatedusing actual metallic areas of the individual wires. Since thereis a direct relationship between metallic area and strength,Reserve Strength is usually expressed as a percentage of therope's nominal strength. Reserve Strength is used as a relativecomparison between the internal wire load bearing capabilitiesof different rope constructions.

Reserve Strength is an important consideration in selec-tion, inspection and evaluation of a rope for applications wherethe consequences of a rope failure are great. The use ofReserve Strength is premised on the theory that the outerwires of the strands are the first to be subjected to damage orwear. Therefore, the Reserve Strength figures are less signifi-cant when the rope is subjected to internal wear, damage,abuse, corrosion or distortion.

The more wires there are in the outer layer of a strand con-struction, the greater will be the rope's Reserve Strength.Geometrically, as more wires are required in the outer layer ofa strand, they must be smaller in diameter. This results ingreater metallic area remaining to be filled by the inner wires.

Separate columns are shown for standard Fiber Core andIWRC ropes. For Fiber Core ropes, the Reserve Strength is theapproximate percentage of the rope's metallic area made up bythe inner wires of the outer strands. An IWRC in a rope is con-sidered to contribute 7-1/2% to the rope's total strength. By def-inition, the core is not included in the Reserve Strength calcu-lation so a 7-1/2% reduction has been made for ropes with anIWRC.

Rotation Resistant ropes, due to their construction, canexperience different modes of wear and failure than standardropes. Therefore, their Reserve Strength is calculated different-ly. For Rotation Resistant ropes, the Reserve Strength is based on the percentage of the metallic area represented by the corestrand plus the inner wires of the strands of both the outer and inner layers.

EACH CHARACTERISTIC AFFECTS OTHER CHARACTERISTICS

Wire rope strength is usually measured in tons of 2,000 pounds. In published material wire rope strengthis shown as "nominal" strength. Nominal strength refers to calculated strength figures that have beenaccepted by the wire rope industry.

When placed under tension on a test device a new rope shouId break at a figure equal to,or higher than, the nominal strength shown for that rope.

To account for variables which might exist when such tests are made to determine the break-ing strength of a new wire rope an "acceptance" strength may be used. The acceptance strength is 2-1/2% lower than the nominal strength and all ropes must meet or exceed this strength.

The nominal strength applies to new, unused rope. A rope should never operate at, or near, the nominal strength. During itsuseful life, a rope loses strength gradually due to natural causes such as surface wear and metal fatigue.

Every wire rope has its own “personality” which is a reflection of its engineered design. Each rope con-struction has been established to produce a desired combination of operating characteristics which willbest meet the performance requirements of the work, or application, for which that design is intended . .. and each rope construction is, therefore, a design compromise.

The best illustration of a design compromise—or best combination of desired characteris-tics—is the inter-relationship between resistance to abrasion and fatigue resistance.

Fatigue resistance (a rope's capability to bend repeatedly under stress) is accomplished byusing many wires in the rope strands. Resistance to metal loss through abrasion is achieved primarilywith a rope design which uses fewer and therefore larger wires in the outer layer to reduce the effects ofsurface wear.

Therefore, from a design standpoint when anything is done to alter either abrasion resist-ance or fatigue resistance, both of these features will be affected.

3. RESISTANCE TO METAL LOSS AND DEFORMATIONMetal loss refers to the actual wearing away of metal from the outer wires of a rope, and metal deformation is the changing of theshape of outer wires of a rope.

In general, resistance to metal loss by abrasion (usually called "abrasion resistance") refers to a rope's ability to withstandmetal being worn away along its exterior. This reduces strength of a rope.

The most common form of metal deformation is generally called "peening" - since outside wires of a peened rope appear tohave been "hammered" along their exposed surface.

Peening usually occurs on drums, caused by rope-to-rope contact during take-up of the rope on the drum. It may also occuron sheaves.

Peening causes metal fatigue, which in turn may cause wire failure. The "hammering” which causes metal of the wire to flowinto a new shape, realigns the grain structure of the metal, thereby affecting its fatigue resistance. The out-of-round shape alsoimpairs wire movement when the rope bends.

4. CRUSHING RESISTANCECrushing is the effect of external pressure on a rope, which damages it by distorting the cross-section shape of the rope, its strandsor core — or all three.

Crushing resistance therefore is ability to withstand or resist external forces, and is a term generally used to express compar-ison between ropes. When a rope is damaged by crushing, the wires, strands and core are prevented from moving and adjustingnormally in operation. In a general sense, IWRC ropes are more crush resistant than fiber core ropes . . . Lang Lay ropes are lesscrush resistant than Regular Lay ropes . . . and 6-strand ropes have greater crush resistance than 8-strand ropes.

5. FATIGUE RESISTANCEFatigue resistance involves metal fatigue of the wires that make up a rope. To have high fatigue resistance, wires must be capableof bending repeatedly under stress—as when a rope passes over a sheave. Increased fatigue resistance is achieved in a ropedesign by using a large number of wires. It involves both the basic metallurgy and the diameters of wires.

In general, a rope made of many wires will have greater fatigue resistance than a same-size rope made of fewer larger wires,because smaller wires have greater ability to bend as the rope passes over sheaves or around drums. To overcome the effects offatigue, ropes must never bend over sheaves or drums with diameter so small as to kink wires or bend them excessively.There areprecise recommendations for sheave and drum sizes to properly accommodate all sizes and types of ropes.

Every rope is subject to metal fatigue from bending stress while in operation, and therefore the rope's strength gradually dimin-ishes as the rope is used.

6. BEND-ABILITYBend-ability relates to the ability of a rope to bend easily in an arc. Four primary factors affect this capability:

1. Diameter of wires that make the rope. 2. Rope and Strand Construction. 3. Metal Composition of wires and finish such asgalvanizing. 4. Type of rope core—fiber or IWRC.

Some rope constructions are by nature more bend-able than others. Small ropes are more bend-able than big ones. Fiber coreropes bend more easily than comparable IWRC ropes. As a general rule, ropes made of many wires are more bend-able thansame-size ropes made with fewer larger wires.

7. STABILITYThe word "stability" is most often used to describe handling and working characteristics of a rope. It is not a precise term, sincethe idea expressed is to some degree a matter of opinion, and is more nearly a "personality" trait than any other rope feature. Forexample, a rope is called stable when it spools smoothly on and off a drum . . . or doesn't tend to tangle when a multi-part reevingsystem is relaxed.

Strand and rope construction contribute most to stability. Preformed rope is usually more stable than nonpreformed, and LangLay rope tends to be less stable than Regular Lay. A rope made of simple 7-wire strands will usually be more stable than a morecomplicated construction with many wires per strand. There is no specific measurement of rope stabiIity.

The term "lay" has three meanings 1) Direction strands are "layed" in a rope—right or left. 2) Relationship to the direction wiresare "layed" in strands to direction strands are "layed" in the rope—Regular or Lang. 3) A unit of length measure, as illustrated.

In REGULAR lay wires in each strand are rayed opposite the direction the strand is layed in the rope—so exposed portions of wiresappear parallel to the length of the rope. Regular lay rope is more stable, resistant to kinks and crushing than Lang lay rope.

In LANG lay exposed wires appear at an angle to the length of the rope. Lang lay rope is more fatigue resistant and resists abra-sion better than Regular lay, but has less stability. Lang lay ropes are used on applications where the rope is subjected to repeat-ed bending and both ends are attached so that the rope may not rotate.

Always measure the diameter of any rope at its widest point—by turning the caliper on the rope.

Four primary factors affect strength of any wire rope, and must be considered when specifying a ropefor an application (1) DIAMETER. (2) TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION. (3) GRADE OF ROPE. (4) CORE.

DIAMETER must fit the grooves of sheaves and hoisting drums.

CONSTRUCTION includes number of strands, number of wires per strand, and the arrangement of thewires in each strand.

GRADE OF ROPE is usually Improved Plow Steel (IPS), or Extra Improved Plow Steel (XIP) which isabout 15% stronger than IPS. Specialized Wireco ropes are also available in other grades and types ofsteel, but IPS and XIP are standards. Ropes may be "Bright"—without special finish for the wire—orGalvanized.

CORE is the member of a wire rope about which the strands are laid. It may be fiber, a wire strand, oran independent wire rope.

MEANING OF LAY

HOW TO GAUGE WIRE ROPE

The "catalog" nominal strength figure provided for any wire ropeis not to be used as the working load which that rope can repeat-edly move without failing before a reasonable amount of serviceis received. The catalog figure is the strength of a new, un-usedwire rope of that specific construction and grade, and is to beconsidered the actual Breaking Strength. A rope is at its higheststrength when it leaves the factory and diminishes gradually withuse. Therefore a DESIGN FACTOR must be applied to the cata-log strength to determine the load a rope can repeatedly movewhen the rope is placed in operation. The Design Factor musttake into consideration such things as type of service (fast orslow, rough or smooth, sudden stops and starts, etc.), conse-quences of failure and design of equipment.The following DesignFactors are generally accepted in the U.S wire rope industry.

HOW TO EXTEND ROPE SERVICE LIFEHow long will your rope last? There is not a simple answer, but rather, there are several factors involved including: The manner inwhich you install and “break in” your new rope. The operating technique and work habits of the machine operators. Physical main-tenance of the rope throughout its service life. Physical maintenance of the system in which your rope operates.

RECOMMENDED PRACTICESWe’ve outlined several recommended practices you may use to extend your rope’s useful life. It’s also important to note that allsections of this article, in some respect, also review ways to help you get greater useful life from your rope, and that’s why youneed to thoroughly understand all the material here.

INSTALL YOUR ROPE CORRECTLYThe primary concern when installing a new rope is to not trap any twist in the rope system. Proper handling of the rope from thereel or coil to your equipment will help avoid this situation. Another important step on smooth faced drums is to spool with wrapstight and close together on the first layer. This layer forms the foundation for succeeding layers. Finally, spool the remaining ropeon the drum with tension approximating 1% to 2% of the rope’s nominal strength.

BREAK IN YOUR NEW ROPE PROPERLYWhen you install a new operating rope, you should first run it for a brief period of time with no load. Then, for best results, run itunder controlled loads and speeds to enable the wires and strands in the rope to adjust to themselves.

“CONSTRUCTIONAL” STRENGTHWhen first put into service, new ropes normally elongate while strands go through a process of seating with one another and withthe rope core. This is called “constructional” stretch because it is inherent in the construction of the rope, and the amount of elon-gation may vary from one rope to another. For standard ropes, this stretch will be about 1/4% to 1% of the rope’s length.

When constructional stretch needs to be minimized, ropes may be factory prestretched. Please specify when placing your order.Another type of stretch, “elastic” stretch, results from recoverable deformation of the metal itself. For more information, please referto the Wire Rope Technical Data Handbook.

CUT OFF ENDS TO MOVE WEAR POINTSIf you observe wear developing in a localized area, it may be beneficial to cut off short lengths of rope. This may require an origi-nal length slightly longer than you normally use. When severe abrasion or numerous fatigue breaks occur near one end or at anyone concentrated area—such as drag ropes on draglines or closing lines in clamshell buckets, for example—the movement of thisworn section can prolong rope life.

Wire breaks from vibration fatigue occur at end terminations, so short lengths cut off there with reattachment of the socket mayprolong the rope’s life. When broken wires are found, you should cut off sections of rope. In the case of a socket, you should cutoff at least five or six feet. In the case of clips or clamps, you should cut off the entire length covered by them.

Where there is an equalizing sheave, such as that found in many overhead cranes, fatigue is localized at rope tangency points tothe equalizing sheave. Rope life will be increased if you shift this point by cutting off a short length at the end of one of the drums.Be sure to make this cutoff before significant wear occurs at the equalizing sheave, and always do so at the same drum.

REVERSING ENDSFrequently, the most severe deterioration occurs at a point too far from the end or is too long to allow the worn section to be cutoff. In such cases, you may turn the rope end for end to bring a less worn section into the area where conditions are most dam-aging.This practice is beneficial for incline rope and draglines.The change must be made well before the wear reaches the removalcriteria. When changing ends, be careful to avoid kinking or otherwise damaging the rope.

CLEAN AND LUBRICATE REGULARLY TO REDUCE WEARWe lubricate our wire rope during manufacture so that the strands—as well as the individual wires in the strands—may move andadjust as the rope moves and bends. But no wire rope can be lubricated sufficiently during manufacture to last its entire life. That’swhy it’s important to lubricate periodically throughout the life of the rope.

The surface of some ropes may become covered with dirt, rock dust or other material during their operation.This can prevent field-applied lubricants from properly penetrating into the rope, so it’s a good practice to clean these ropes before you lubricate them.

The lubricant you apply should be light-bodied enough to penetrate to the rope’s core. You an normally apply lubricant by usingone of three methods: drip it on rope, spray it on or brush it on. In all cases, you should apply it at a place where the rope is bend-ing such as around a sheave.We recommend you apply it at the top of the bend because that’s where the rope’s strands are spreadby bending and more easily penetrated. In addition, there are pressure lubricators available commercially. Your rope’s service lifewill be directly proportional to the effectiveness of the method you use and the amount of lubricant that reaches the rope’s work-ing parts.

A proper lubricant must reduce friction, protect against corrosion and adhere to every wire. It should also be pliable and not crackor separate when cold—yet not drip when warm. Never apply heavy grease to the rope because it can trap excessive grit, whichcan damage the rope. Nor should you apply used “engine oil” because it contains materials that can damage the rope. For unusu-al conditions, you can specify special lubricants that we can apply at the factory.

CONTINUOUS DRIP/SPRAY METHODThis method is for applying lubricant automatically during machine operation.

MANUAL SPRAY AND BRUSH-ON METHODThese methods are generally best accomplished at a sheave where strands are opened up, allowing lubricant to penetrate to thecore.

CLEAN ROPE BEFORE LUBRICATINGPrior to relubricating rope, any large accumulations of grit or other abrasive material should be cleaned off as best as possible.This operation will allow better penetration of the lubricant, and help cut down wear on both the rope and sheaves.

HOW TO UNREEL OR UNCOIL WIRE ROPEThere is always a danger of kinking a wire rope if you improperly unreel or uncoil it. Youshould mount a reel on jacks or a turntable so that it will revolve as you pull the rope off. Applysufficient tension by means of a board acting as a brake against the reel flange to keep slackfrom accumulating. With a coil, stand it on edge and roll it in a straight line away from the freeend. You may also place a coil on a revolving stand and pull the rope as you would from areel or a turntable.

THE THREE STAGES OF KINKING1. THE START: A rope should

never be allowed to accu-mulate twist as shown herebecause it will loop andeventually form a kink. If thisloop is removed beforebeing pulled down tight, youcan normally avoid the kink.

HOW TO STORE WIRE ROPE PROPERLYWe recommend you store your wire rope under a roof or a weatherproof covering so thatmoisture cannot reach it. Similarly, you must avoid acid fumes or any other corrosive atmos-phere—including ocean spray—in order to protect the rope from rust. If you’re storing a reelfor a lengthy period, you may want to order your rope with a protective wrap. If not, at leastcoat the ouer layers of rope with a good rope lubricant.

If you ever take a rope out of service and want to store it for future use, you should place iton a reel after you’ve thoroughly cleaned and relubricated it. Give the same storage consid-erations to your used rope as you would your new rope.

Be sure to keep your wire rope in storage away from steam or hot water pipes, heated airducts or any other source of heat that can thin out lubricant and cause it to drain out of yourrope.

WARNINGIn the real world, accidents do happen, and that’s why you need to take special precautions.Before installing wire rope in your applications, always read and follow the warning labelattached to each product.

PROPER ROPE USE

Wire rope WILL FAIL if worn-out, overloaded, misused, damaged, improperly maintained or abused. Wire rope failure maycause serious injury or death! Protect yourself and others:• ALWAYS INSPECT wire rope for WEAR, DAMAGE or ABUSE BEFORE USE.• NEVER USE wire rope that is WORN-OUT, DAMAGED or ABUSED.• NEVER OVERLOAD a wire rope.• INFORM YOURSELF: Read and understand manufacturer’s literature or “Wire Rope and Wire Rope Sling Safety Bulletin.”• REFER TO APPLICABLE CODES, STANDARDS and REGULATIONS for INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS and REMOVAL CRI-

TERIA.• For additional information or the BULLETIN, ask your employer or wire rope supplier.

WARNING

Correct ways to unreel anduncoil wire rope.

2. THE KINK: By now, thedamage is done, and therope must not be used.

3. THE RESULT: Even if the wires do not appear badlydamaged, the rope is still damaged and must bereplaced. If a twist develops, remove the twist from therope before a kink can form.

WIRE ROPE INSPECTIONAll wire ropes will wear out eventually and gradually lose work capability throughout their service life. That’s why periodic inspec-tions are critical. Applicable industry standards such as ASME B30.2 for overhead and gantry cranes or federal regulations suchas OSHA refer to specific inspection criteria for varied applications.

THREE PURPOSES FOR INSPECTIONRegular inspection of wire rope and equipment should be performed for three good reasons:• It reveals the rope’s condition and indicates the need for replacement.• It can indicate if you’re using the most suitable type of rope.• It makes possible the discovery and correction of faults in equipment or operation that can cause costly accelerated rope wear.

HOW OFTENAll wire ropes should be thoroughly inspected at regular intervals. The longer it has been in service or the more severe the serv-ice, the more thoroughly and frequently it should be inspected. Be sure to maintain records of each inspection.

APPOINT A QUALIFIED PERSON TO INSPECTInspections should be carried out by a person who has learned through special training or practical experience what to look forand who knows how to judge the importance of any abnormal conditions they may discover. It is the inspector’s responsibility toobtain and follow the proper inspection criteria for each application inspected.

For information on inspection methods and techniques ask us for Techreport 107: Wire Rope Inspection. If you need further assis-tance, contact our Product Engineering Department.

WHAT TO LOOK FORHere’s what happens when a wire breaks under tensile load exceeding its strength. It’s typically recognized by the “cup and cone”appearance at the point of failure. The necking down of the wire at the point of failure to form the cup and cone indicates failurehas occurred while the wire retained its ductility.

This is a wire with a distinct fatigue break. It’s recognized by the square end perpendicular to the wire. This break was producedby a torsion machine that’s used to measure the ductility. This break is similar to wire failures in the field caused by fatigue.

A wire rope that has been subjected to repeated bending over sheaves under normal loads. This results in fatigue breaks in indi-vidual wires—these breaks are square and usually in the crown of the strands.

An example of fatigue failure of a wire rope subjected to heavy loads over small sheaves. The breaks in the valleys of the strandsare caused by “strand nicking.” There may be crown breaks, too.

Here you see a single strand removed from a wire rope subjected to “strand nicking.” This condition is a result of adjacent strandsrubbing against one another. While this is normal in a rope’s operation, the nicking can be accentuated by high loads, smallsheaves or loss of core support. The ultimate result will be individual wire breaks in the valleys of the strands.

PROPER ROPE USE

BAIRSTOW LIFTING PRODUCTS CO. • 1-800-241-8990 • WEB & LINKS www.bairstow.com 59

A major portion of any wire rope inspection is the detection of broken wires. The number and type of broken wires are an indication of the rope’s general condition and a benchmark for itsreplacement.

Frequent inspections and written records help determine the rate at which wires are breaking. Replace the rope when the values given in the table below are reached.

Valley wire breaks—where the wire fractures between strands or a broken wire protrudes between strands—are treated differently than those that occur on the outer surface of the rope.When there is more than one valley break, replace the rope.

Broken wire removal criteria cited in many standards and specifications, like those listed below, apply to wire ropes operating on steel sheaves and drums. For wire ropes operating onsheaves and drums made with material other than steel, please contact the sheave, drum or equipment manufacturer or a qualified person for proper broken wire removal criteria.

TYPICAL EVIDENCE OF WEAR AND ABUSEA “birdcage” is caused by sudden release of tensionand the resulting rebound of rope. These strands andwires will not be returned to their original positions.The rope should be replaced immediately.

REMOVAL CRITERIA

WHEN TO REPLACE WIRE ROPE—BASED ON NUMBER OF WIRES

These wires have been subjected to continuedpeening, causing fatigue type failures. A predeter-mined, regularly scheduled cutoff practice can helpeliminate this type of problem.

This is localized wear over an equalized sheave.Thedanger here is that it’s invisible during the rope’soperation, and that’s why you need to inspect this por-tion of an operating rope regularly. The rope shouldbe pulled off the sheave during inspection and bent tocheck for broken wires.

This is a wire rope with a high strand—a condition inwhich one or more strands are worn before adjoiningstrands.This is caused by improper socketing or seiz-ing, kinks or dog-legs. At top, you see a closeup of theconcentration of wear. At bottom, you see how itrecurs every sixth strand in a 6 strand rope.

A kinked wire rope is shown here. It’s caused bypulling down a loop in a slack line during handling,installation or operation. Note the distortion of thestrands and individual wires. This rope must bereplaced.

Here’s a wire rope that has jumped a sheave. Therope “curled” as it went over the edge of the sheave.When you study the wires, you’ll see two types ofbreaks here: tensile “cup and cone” breaks and shearbreaks that appear to have been cut on an angle.

Drum crushing is caused by small drums, high loadsand multiple winding conditions.

FLEET ANGLEThe achievement of even winding on a smooth faced drum is closely related to the magnitude of the D/d ratio, the speed of rota-tion, load on the rope, and the fleet angle. Of all these factors, the one that exerts perhaps the greatest influence on winding char-acteristics, is the fleet angle.

The schematic drawing (Fig. 34) shows an installation where the wire rope runs from a fixed sheave. over a floating sheave,and then on to the surface of a smooth drum. The fleet angle (Fig. 34) may be defined as the included angle between two lines;one line drawn through the middle of the fixed sheave and the drum—and perpendicular to the axis of the drum and a second linedrawn from the flange of the drum to the base of the groove in the sheave. (The drum flange represents the farthest position towhich the rope can travel across the drum. ) There are left and right fleet angles, measured to the left or right of the center line ofthe sheave, respectively.

It is necessary to restrict the fleet angle on installations where wire rope passes over the lead or fixed sheave and onto a drum.For optimum efficiency and service characteristics, the angle here should not exceed 1~/: ° for a smooth drum, nor 2 ° for a grooveddrum. Fleet angles larger than these suggested limits can cause such problems as bad winding on smooth drums, and the roperubbing against the flanges of the sheave grooves. Larger angles also create situations where there is excessive crushing andabrasion of the rope on the drum. Conversely, small fleet angles—less than 1/2°—should also be avoided since too small an anglewill cause the rope to pile up.

DRUMS—GROOVEDDrums are the means by which power is transmitted to the rope and thence to the object to be moved. For the wire rope to pickup this power efficiently and to transmit it properly to the working end, installation must be carefully controlled.

If the drum is grooved, the winding conditions should be closely supervised to assure adherence to the following recom-mended procedures:1) The end of the rope must be secured to the drum by such means as will give the end attachment at least as much strength

as is specified by the equipment manufacturer.2) Adequate tension must be maintained on the rope while it is being wound so that the winding proceeds under continuous ten-

sion.3) The rope must follow the groove.4) There should be at least three dead turns remaining on the drum when the rope is unwound during normal operation. Two

dead turns are a mandatory requirement in many codes and standards.If the wire rope is carelessly wound and, as a result, jumps the grooves, it will be crushed and cut where it crosses from one

groove to the other. Another, almost unavoidable problem is created at the drum flange; as the rope climbs to a second layer thereis further crushing and the wires receive excessive abrasion. Riser and filler strips may help remedy this condition.

SHEAVE INSPECTIONSheaves should be checked for: 1. Correct groove diameter; 2. Roundness or contour to give proper support to the rope; 3. Smallholes, cracks, uneven surfaces, or other defects that might be detrimental to the rope 4. Extreme deep wear.

A sheave should also be checked to make sure it turns freely, is properly aligned, has no broken or cracked flanges, and hasbearings that work properly. Drums should also be inspected for signs of wear that could damage rope. Plain-faced or smoothdrums can develop grooves or impressions that prevent rope from winding properly. Repair by resurfacing the face or replacing thelagging.

Scrubbing will occur if the rope tends to close wind. If the tendency is to open winding, the rope will encounter abnormal abuseas the second layer forces itself down between the open wraps of the first layer on the drum.

Operating with a smooth drum calls for special care. Be sure the rope is always tightly wound and thread layed on the firstlayer. Any loosening of the line is easily observed as the winding will be bad and the rope will be coming off with a series of "badspots."

Grooved drums should be examined for tight or corrugated grooves and for differences in depth or pitch that could damagethe second and subsequent layers.Worn grooves can develop extremely sharp edges that shave away small particles of steel fromthe rope. Correct this condition by grinding or filing a radius to replace the sharp edge. Drum flanges, as well as the starter, fillerand riser strips, should be checked. Excessive wear here often causes unnecessary rope abuse at the change of layers and cross-over points.

Other places of contact such as rollers, scrub boards, guides and end attachments should also be inspected.

MEASURE THE WIDEST DIAMETERRopes and sheave grooves must be precisely fitted to each other to get the most service out of your wire rope dollar. Make

measurement of rope diameter a normal part of your inspection program. There's only one right way to measure rope diameter:use machinist's calipers and be sure to measure the widest diameter. This method is not only useful for measuring the diameterof a new rope, but also for determining the amount of wear and compression that has occurred while the rope has been in use.Accurate recording of this information is essential in helping to decide when to replace wire rope.

It is virtually impossible to calculate the precise length of wire rope that canbe spooled on a reel or drum. The formula below provides a sufficientlyclose approximation based on uniform rope winding on the reel.

L = (A + D) X A X B X K

L = length of wire rope in fleetA = depth of rope space on reel in inchesB = width of drum between flanges in inchesD = barrel diameter in inchesK = constant for given wire rope diameter

(per table below)H = diameter in reel flanges in inchesX =- clearance

Installation of a wire rope on a plain ( smooth ) face drum requires a great deal of care.The starting position should be at the drumend so that each turn of the rope will wind tightly against the preceding turn (Fig. 26). Here too, close supervision should be main-tained all during installation. This will help make certain that:1) the rope is properly attached to the drum,2) appropriate tension on the rope is maintained as it is wound on the drum,3) each turn is guided as close to the preceding turn as possible, so that there are no gaps between turns,4) and that there are at least two dead turns on the drum when the rope is fully unwound during normal operating cycles.

Loose and uneven winding on a plain- (smooth-) faced drum, can and usually does create excessive wear, crushing and distortionof the rope. The results of such abuse are lower operating performance, and a reduction in the rope's effective strength. Also, foran operation that is sensitive in terms of moving and spotting a load, the operator will encounter control difficulties as the rope willpile up, pull into the pile and fall from the pile to the drum surface. The ensuing shock can break or otherwise damage the rope.

The proper direction of winding the first layer on a smooth drum can be determined by standing behind the drum and looking alongthe path the rope travels, and then following one of the procedures illustrated in Figure 26. The diagrams show: the correct rela-tionship that should be maintained between the direction of lay of the rope (right or left), the direction of rotation of the drum (over-wind or underwind), winding from left to right or right to left.

Figure 27. After the first layer is wound on a drum, thepoint at which the rope winds back for each turn iscalled the cross-over.

DRUMS—MULTIPLE LAYERSMany installations are designed with requirements for winding more than one layer of wire rope on a drum. Winding multiple lay-ers presents some further problems.

The first layer should wind in a smooth, tight helix which, if the drum is grooved, is already established. The grooves allow theoperator to work off the face of the drum, and permit the minimum number of dead turns.

A smooth drum presents an additional problem, initially, as the wire rope must be wound in such a manner that the first layerwill be smooth and uniform and will provide a firm foundation for the layers of rope that will be wound over it. The first layer of ropeon the smooth drum should be wound with tension sufficient to assure a close helix—each turn being wound as close as possibleto the preceding turn—and most, if not all, of the entire layer being used as dead turns.The first layer then acts as a helical groovewhich will guide the successive layers. Unlike wire ropes operating on groove drums, the first layer should not be unwound from asmooth-faced drum with multiple layers.

After the rope has wound completely across the face of the drum (either smooth or grooved), it is forced up to a second layerat the flange. The rope then winds back across the drum in the opposite direction, Iying in the depression between the turns of therope on the first layer. Advancing across the drum on the second layer, the rope, following the "grooves" formed by the rope on thefirst layer, actually winds back one turn in each revolution of the drum. The rope must then cross two rope "grooves" in order toadvance across the drum for each turn. The point at which this occurs is known as the cross-over. Cross-over is unavoidable onthe second, and all succeeding layers. Figure 27 illustrates the winding of a rope on the second layer from left to right, and fromright to left—the direction is shown by the arrows.

At these cross-over points, the rope is subjected to severe abrasion and crushing as it is pushed over the two rope "grooves"and rides across the crown of the first rope layer. The scrubbing of the rope, as this is happening, can easily be heard.

There is, however, a special drum grooving available that will greatly minimize the damage that can occur at cross-over points.Severe abrasion can also be reduced by applying the rule for the correct rope lay (right- or left-lay) to the second layer rather

than to the first layer. It is for this reason that the first layer of a smooth drum should be wound tight and used as dead turns.

Wire rope is built to transmit power around corners, but it must be guided by sheaves. These sheaves must be properly groovedand of adequate diameter to allow the rope to bend without binding. Drums must also be of adequate diameter to prevent the ropefrom binding internally. Minimum recommended drum and sheave tread diameters are determined by multiplying the factor in thetable below by the nominal rope diameter.

*Electro-plated U-Bolt and Nuts • 2-3/4” and 3-1/2” base is made of cast steel. If a pulley (sheave) is used for turning back the wire rope,add one additional clip. If a greater number of clips are used than shown in the table, the amount of turnback should be increased proportionately.*The tightening torque values shown are based upon the threads being clean, dry, and free of lubrication.

1. Refer to Table I in following these instructions. Turn back specified amount of rope from thimble or loop. Apply first clip onebase width from dead end of rope. Apply U-Bolt over dead end of wire rope - live end rests in saddle (Never saddle a deadhorse!) Tighten nuts evenly, alternate from one nut to the other until reaching the recommended torque.

SS-450 (316 Stainless Steel)G-450 (Red U-Bolt)

Efficiency ratings for wire rope end terminations are based upon the catalog breaking strength of wire rope. The efficiency ratingof a properly prepared loop or thimble - eye termination for clip sizes 1/8” through 7/8” is 80%, and for sizes 1” through 3-1/2” is90%. The number of clips shown (see Table I) is based upon using RRL or RLL wire rope, 6 x 19 or 6 x 37 Class, FC or IWRC;IPS or XIP. If Seale construction or similar large outer wire type construction in the 6 x 19 Class is to be used for sizes 1 inch andlarger, add one additional clip. If a pulley (sheave) is used for turning back the wire rope, add one additional clip.

The number of clips shown also applies to rotation - resistant RRL wire rope, 8 x 19 Class, IPS, XIP, sizes 1-1/2 inch and small-er; and to rotation-resistant RRL wire rope, 19 x 7 Class, IPS, XIP, sizes 1-3/4 inch and smaller. For other classes of wire rope notmentioned above, we recommend contacting Crosby Engineering at the address or telephone number on the back cover to ensurethe desired efficiency rating. For elevator, personnel hoist, and scaffold applications, refer to ANSI A17.1 and ANSI A10.4. Thesestandards do not recommend U-Bolt style wire rope clip terminations. The style wire rope termination used for any application isthe obligation of the user. For OSHA (Construction) applications, see OSHA 1926.251.

2. When two clips are required, apply the second clip as near the loop or thimble as possible. Tighten nuts evenly, alternatinguntil reaching the recommended torque. When more than two clips are required, apply the second clip as near the loop or thim-ble as possible, turn nuts on second clip firmly, but do not tighten. Proceed to Step 3.ble as possible, turn nuts on second clipfirmly, but do not tighten. Proceed to Step 3.

3. When three or more clips are required, space additional clips equally between first two - take up rope slack - tighten nuts oneach U-Bolt evenly, alternating from one nut to the other until reaching recommended torque.

The preferred method of splicing two wire ropes together is to use interlocking turnback eyes with himbles, using the recommendednumber of clips on each eye (See Figure 1). An alternate method is to use twice the number of clips as used for a turnback ter-mination. The rope ends are placed parallel to each other, overlapping by twice the turnback amount shown in the applicationinstructions. The minimum number of clips should be installed on each dead end (See Figure 2). Spacing, installation torque, andother instructions still apply.

4. WIRE ROPE SPLICING PROCEDURES:

Apply first load to test the assembly. This load should be of equal or greater weight than loads expected in use. Next, check andretighten nuts to recommended torque. In accordance with good rigging and maintenance practices, the wire rope end terminationshould be inspected periodically for wear, abuse, and general adequacy.

5. IMPORTANT

CROSBY CLIPS—WARNINGS AND APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Failure to read, understand, and followthese instructions may cause death or seri-ous injury.

• Read and understand these instructionsbefore using clips.

• Match the same size clip to the same sizewire rope.

• Prepare wire rope end termination only asinstructed.

• Do not use with plastic coated wire rope.• Apply first load to test the assembly. This

load should be of equal or greater weightthan loads expected in use. Next, check andretighten nuts to recommended torque (SeeTable 1, this page).

ROUND PIN SHACKLEScan be used in tie down, towing, suspension or lifting applications where the load is strictly applied in-line.

SCREW PIN SHACKLEScan be used in any application where a round pin shackle is used. In addition, screw pin shackles can be used for applicationsinvolving side-loading circumstances. Reduced working load limits are required for side-loading applications. While in service, donot allow the screw pin to be rotated by a live line, such as a choker application.

BOLT-TYPE SHACKLEScan be used in any applications where round pin or screw pin shackles are used. In addition, they are recommended for perma-nent or long term installations and where the load may slide on the shackle pin causing the pin to rotate.

QUICK-CHECK™ INFORMATIONAll Crosby Shackles, except for G-2160’s incorporate markings forged into the product which address an easy QUIC-CHECK™feature. Angle indicators are forged into the shackle bow at 45° angles from vertical. These are utilized to quickly check the approx-imate angle of a two-legged hitch or quickly check the angle of a single leg hitch when the shackle pin is secured and the pull ofthe load is off vertical or side loaded, thus requiring a reduction in the working load limit of the shackle.

CROSBY 320N HOIST HOOKS

• Hoist hooks incorporate markings forged into the product which addresstwo (2) QUIC-CHECK® features.

• Deformation Indicators - Two strategically placed marks, one just belowthe shank or eye and the other on the hook up, which allows for a QUIC-CHECK® measurement to determine if the throat opening has changed,thus indicating abuse or overload.

• To check, use a measuring device (i.e. tape measure) to measure the distance between the marks. The marks should align to either an inch orhalf-inch increment on the measuring device. If the measurement doesnot meet this criteria, the hook should be inspected further for possibledamage.

• Angle Indicators - Indicates the maximum included angle which is allowedbetween two (2) sling legs in the hook. these indicators also provide theopportunity to approximate other included angles between two sling legs.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION—READ AND FOLLOW

• Loads may disengage from hook if properprocedures are not followed.

• A falling load may cause serious injury ordeath.

• See OSHA Rule 1926.550(g) for personnelhoisting by cranes or derricks. A Crosby 319,320, or 322 hook with a PL Latch attached(when secured with bolt, nut and pin) may beused for lifting personnel. A Crosby S-320NHook with a S-4320 Latch attached (whensecured with cotter pin or bolt, nut and pin)may be used for lifting personnel.

• Threads may corrode and/or strip and dropthe load.

• Hook must always support the load.The loadmust never be supported by the latch.

• Never apply more force than the hook'sassigned Working Load Limit (WLL) rating.

• Read and understand these instructionsbefore using hook.

• A visual periodic inspection for cracks, nicks, wear, gouges and deformation as part of a comprehensive documented inspectionprogram, should be conducted by trained personnel in compliance with the schedule in ANSI B30. 10.

• For hooks used in frequent load cycles or pulsating loads, the hook and threads should be periodically inspected by MagneticParticle or Dye Penetrant. (Note: Some disassembly may be required.)

• Never use a hook whose throat opening has been increased, or whose tip has been bent more than 10 degrees out of planefrom the hook body, or is in any other way distorted or bent. Note: A latch will not work properly on a hook with a bent orworn tip.

• Never use a hook that is worn beyond the limits shown in Figure 1.

• Remove from service any hook with a crack, nick, or gouge. Hooks with a crack, nick, or gouge shall be repaired by grindinglengthwise, following the contour of the hook, provided that the reduced dimension is within the limits shown in Figure 1.

• Never repair, alter, rework, or reshape a hook by welding, heating, burning, or bending.

• Never side load, back load, or tip load a hook. (See Figure 2.)

• Eye hooks, shank hooks and swivel hooks are designed to be used with wire rope or chain. Efficiency of assembly may bereduced when used with synthetic mate-rial.

• Do not swivel the S-322 swivel hookwhile it is supporting a load.

• The use of a latch may be mandatory byregulations or safety codes; e.g., OSHA,MSHA, ANSI/ASME B30, Insurance,etc.. (Note: When using latches, seeinstructions in "Understanding: TheCrosby Group Warnings" for furtherinformation.)

• Always make sure the hook supports theload. (See Figure 3). The latch must never support the load (See Figure 4).

• When placing two (2) sling legs in hook, make sure the angle from the vertical to the outermost leg is not greater than 45degrees, and the included angle between the legs does not exceed 90 degrees* (See Figure 5).

• See ANSI/ASME B30.10 "Hooks" for additional information.

*For angles greater than 90 degrees, or more than two (2) legs, a master link or bolt type anchor shackle should be used to attachthe legs of the sling to the hook.

• The threaded shank must protrude through the loadsufficiently to allow full engagement of the nut.

• Thickness of spacersmust exceed thisdistance betweenthe bottom of theload and the lastthread of the eyebolt.

• If the eye bolt protrudes so far through the load that the nutcannot be tightened securely against the load, use properlysized washers to take up the excess space BETWEEN THENUT AND THE LOAD.

• Place washers or spacers between nut and load so that whenthe nut is tightened securely, the shoulder is secured flushagainst the load surface.

These eye bolts are primarily intended to be installed into tapped holes.

1. After the loads on the eye bolts have been calculated, select the proper size eye bolt for the job.

For angular lifts, reduce working load as follows:

2. Drill and tap the load to the correct sizes to a minimum depth of one-half the eye bolt size beyond the shank length of themachinery eye bolt.

3. Thread the eye bolt into the load until the shoulder is flush and securely tightened against the load.

4. If the plane of the machinery eye bolt is not aligned with the sling line, estimate the amount of unthreading rotation necessaryto align the plane of the eye properly.

5. Remove the machinery eye bolt from the load and add shims (washers) of proper thickness to adjust the angle of the planeof the eye to match the sling line. Use Table II to estimate the required shim thickness for the amount of unthreading rotationrequired.

• Always stand clear of load.

• Always lift load with steady, even pull - do not jerk.

• Always apply load to eye bolt in the plane of the eye - not at an angle.

• Never exceed the capacity of the eye bolt-see Table I.

• When using lifting slings of two or more legs, make sure the loads in the legs are calculated using the angle from the horizontalto the leg and properly size the shoulder nut or machinery eye bolt for the angular load.

HOIST RING APPLICATION ASSEMBLY SAFETY• Use swivel hoist ring only with a ferrous metal (steel, iron) or soft metal (i.e., aluminum) loads (work piece). Do not leave threaded

end of hoist ring in aluminum loads for long time periods due to corrosion.

• After determining the loads on each hoist ring, select the proper size hoist ring using the Working Load Limit ratings in Table 1 forUNC threads and Table 2 for Metric threads.

• Drill and tap the work piece to the correct size to a minimum depth of one-half the threaded shank diameter plus the threaded shanklength.See rated load limit and bolt torque requirements imprinted on top of the swivel trunnion. (See Table 1 and/or Table 2)

• Install hoist ring to recommended torque with a torque wrench making sure the bushing flange meets the load (work piece) surface.

• Never use spacers between bushing flange and mounting surface.

• Always select proper load rated lifting device for use with Swivel Hoist Ring.

• Attach lifting device ensuring free fit to hoist ring bail (lifting ring). (Fig. 1)

• Apply partial load and check proper rotation and alignment.There should be no interference between load (work piece) and hoistring bail .(Fig. 2)

• Special Note: When a Hoist Ring is installed with a retention nut, the nut must have full thread engagement and must meet oneof the following standards to develop the Working Load Limit (WLL).

1. ASTM A-563 (A) Grade D Hex Thick(B) Grade DH Standard Hex

2. SAE Grade 8— Standard Hex

HOIST RING INSPECTION/ MAINTENANCE• Always inspect hoist ring before use.

• Regularly inspect hoist ring parts. (Fig. 3)

• Never use hoist ring that shows signs of corrosion, wear or damage.

• Never use hoist ring if bail is bent or elongated.

• Always be sure threads on shank and receiving holes are clean, not damaged, and fit properly.

• Always check with torque wrench before using an already installed hoist ring.

• Always make sure there are no spacers (washers) used between bushing flange and the mounting surface. Remove any spacers(washers) and retorque before use.

• Always ensure free movement of bail. The bail should pivot 180° and swivel 360°. (Fig. 4)

• Always be sure total work piece surface is in contact with hoist ring bushing mating surface. Drilled and tapped hole must be 90°to load (work piece) surface.

OPERATING SAFETYNever exceed the capacity of the swivel hoist ring, see Table 1 for UNC threads and Table 2 for Metric threads. When using liftingslings of two or more legs, make sure the forces in the legs are calculated using the angle from the vertical to the leg and selectthe proper size swivel hoist ring to allow for the angular forces. (Note: Sling angles will de-rate sling members [chain, rope, or web-bing] but will not de-rate swivel hoist ring capacity.)

*Terminator Assembly includes Socket, Wedge, Pin, and Wire Rope Clip.**1-1/4” not available in TERMINATOR™ style.

S-421T — THE TERMINATOR™U.S. patent 5,553, 360 and foreign equivalents. Basket is cast steel. Individually magnetic particleinspected. Pin diameter and jaw opening allows wedge and socket to be used in conjunction with openswage and spelter sockets. Secures the tail or “dead end” of the wire rope to the wedge, thus eliminatesloss or “Punch out” of the wedge. Eliminates the need for an extra piece of rope, and is easily installed.The TERMINATOR™ wedge eliminates the potential breaking off of the tail due to fatigue.The tail, whichis secured by the base of the clip and the wedge, is left undeformed and available for reuse. IncorporatesCrosby’s patented QUIC-CHECK™ “Go” and “No-Go” features cast into the wedge.The proper size ropeis determined when the following criteria are met: 1. The wire rope should pass thru the “Go” hole in hewedge. 2. The wire rope should NOT pass thru the “No-Go” hole in the wedge. Utilizes standard CrosbyRed-U-Bolt wire rope clip. Generates a minimum efficiency of 80% based on the catalog breakingstrength of the wire rope. Standard S-421 wedge socket can be retrofitted with the new style TERMINA-TOR™ wedge. Available with Bolt, Nut, and Cotter Pin.

Apply first load to fully seat the Wedge and Wire Rope in the socket. This load should be of equal or greater weight than loadsexpected in use. Efficiency rating of the Wedge Socket termination is based upon the catalog breaking strength of Wire Rope. Theefficiency of a properly assembled Wedge Socket is 80%. During use, do not strike the dead end section with any other elementsof the rigging. (Called two blocking).

Extended wedge socket assembly U.S. patent No. 5,553,360. NOTE: Existing Crosby S-421 Wedge Sockets can be retrofitted withthe New Terminator Wedge. New QUIC CHECK™ “Go” and “No-Go” features cast into wedge. The proper size wire rope is deter-mined when the following criteria are met: 1. The wire rope shall pass thru the “go” hole in the wedge. 2. The wire rope shall NOTpass thru the “No-Go” hole in the wedge.

INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE SAFETYAlways inspect socket, wedge and pin before using. Do not use part showing cracks. Do not use modified or substitute parts. Repairminor nicks or gouges to socket or pin by lightly grinding until surfaces are smooth. Do not reduce original dimension more than10%. Do not repair by welding. Inspect permanent assemblies annually, or more often in severe operating conditions.

ASSEMBLY SAFETYUse only with standard 6 to 8 strand wire rope of designated size. For intermediate size rope, use next larger size socket. For exam-ple: When using 9/16” diameter wire rope use a 5/8” size Wedge Socket Assembly. Welding of the tail on standard wire rope is notrecommended. The tail length of the dead end should be a minimum of 6 rope diameters but not less than 6” (Figure 1). To usewith Rotation Resistant wire rope (special wire rope constructions with 8 or more outer strands) ensure that the dead end is weld-ed, braized or seized before inserting the wire rope into the wedge socket to prevent core slippage or loss of rope lay.The tail lengthof the dead end should be a minimum of 20 rope diameters but not less than 6”: (See Figure 1). Properly match socket, wedgeand clip (See Table 1) to wire rope size. Align live end of rope, with center line of pin. (See Figure 1). Secure dead end section ofrope. (See Figure 1). Tighten nuts on clip to recommended torque. (Table 1) Do not attach dead end to live end or install wedgebackwards. (See Figure 2). Use a hammer to seat Wedge and Rope as deep into socket as possible before applying first load.

OPERATING SAFETY

• Loads may slip or fall if the Wedge Socket is not properly installed.• A falling load may cause serious injury or death.• Read and understand these instructions before installing the Wedge Socket.• Do not side load the Wedge Socket.• Apply first load to fully seat the Wedge and Wire Rope in the socket. This

load should be of equal or greater weight than loads expected in use.

OVERHAUL BALLS BY GUNNEBO JOHNSONTypes 4, 6 – Midget Non-Swiveling Overhaul BallsAmong our more economical models, these small but husky units are ideal for lighttonnage applications which demand top performance and downfall speed. Availableare 3 and 5-ton capacities with weights ranging from 36 to 49 pounds. Wedge sock-ets for the Type 6 are multi-purpose. Each has the flexibility of being used with morethan one size wire rope through a simple change in wedge size.

Types 4, 6, 7 – Midget Swiveling Overhaul BallsJohnson Blocks midget models OB-3JEM-28-4, OB-3JEM-28-6, and OB-3JJM-28-7have an advantage in size as well as capability. They are unusually short in over-alllength, the basic eye-top unit being only 13-7/16 inches. Other units in this low profileseries include jaw types and the versatile wedge socket types.

Type 3 – Bottom Swivel Overhaul BallsThe first overall ball ever offered by Johnson Blocks, the Type 3 is still widely used.The reason again, exceptional compactness. With wedge socket and swivel almostcompletely enclosed within the ball and pin assembly, it is 25 to 30 percent shorter inover-all length then competition makes. It also offers the advantage of an openwedge socket that can be adapted to two or more sizes or wire rope, just by chang-ing out the wedge.

Type 3 bottom swivel overhaul balls are available in capacities of 3 to 30 tons;weights, or from 54 through 1,290 pounds. When ordering, always specify the wirerope size to be used. Options include choice of light duty hook latches or heavy dutyflapper latches.

Type 4, 5, 6, 7 – Top Swivel Overall BallsThe advantage of the top swivel overhaul ball lies in the ability of its upper fitting andattached wire rope to move independent of its ball and lower fitting.

Johnson Blocks introduced its first top swivel balls in 1966 in response to requestsfor units with more accessible upper fittings. From these have evolved the broad lineof precision assemblies which this company now manufactures. In all, our offeringconsists of some 138 models with weights ranging from 37 through 1,478 pounds;capacities, from 3-3/4 through 30 tons. Interchangeable wedge sockets are standardon the Type 6, while light duty hook latches or heavy duty flapper latches are avail-able on all models at the buyer's option.

Overhaul Balls and PinsBall and pin assemblies are obtainable as replacement parts for Johnson Blocksoverhaul balls or, as add-on/conversion kits for Johnson Blocks swivels. Ranging inweight from 37 to 1,161 pounds, these units consist of cast iron ball, steel pin, andthe necessary nuts and cotters.

Split Overhaul BallsJohnson Blocks split balls present a convenient and effective way to add overhaulweight directly to the wire rope. Made up of two cast iron halves which clamp to theline by means of bolts, these units are designed to fit 1/2 and 5/8 inch rope (50pound weight) and 5/8, 3/4 and 7/8-inch rope (100-pound weight).

For applications that requireunique specifications Crosby can make minor modifications to many of the sheaves listed at a reasonable charge.We can also custom design and manufacture sheaves to your exact require-ments. Contact Crosby Sales to order McKissick sheaves and include the stock number and quantity. For special requirements or custom designed sheaves, furnish the following importantinformation: wireline size, shaft diameter, weight requirements, hub diameter, bore finished, nominal outside diameter, hub width, rim width, nominal tread diameter, other special require-ments.

ROLL FORGED SHEAVE FEATURES

Slow line speed, moderate load and moderate use,Maximum Bearing Pressure (BP): 450 PSIMaximum Velocity at Bearing (BV): 1200 FPMMaximum Pressure Velocity Factor (PV): 55000

Formula for BP = Line Pull x Angle Factor (See Page 215)Shaft Size x Hub Width (see example).

BRONZE BUSHING

Very slow line speed, very infrequent use, low load.PLAIN BORE

Faster line speeds, more frequent use, greater load.

Example:

Using a 14 in. sheave (917191) with a 4600 lb. line pull and a 80 degree angle between lines, determine maximumallowable line speed.

BP = 4600 lbs. x 1.53 ÷ 1.50 x 1.62 = 2896 PSI(Line Pull) (Angle Factor) (Shaft Size) (Hub Width)

BV = 55000 ÷ 2896 = 19FPM(PV Factor) (BP)

1. WLL2. Rated Load Value3. SWL4. Safe Working Load5. Resultant Safe Working Load

WORKING LOAD – The maximum mass or force which the product isauthorized to support in a particular service.PROOF LOAD – The average force applied in the performance of a prooftest; the average force to which a product may be subjected before defor-mation occurs.PROOF TEST – A test applied to a product solely to determine non con-forming material or manufacturing defects.ULTIMATE LOAD – The average load or force at which the product fails,or no longer supports the load.SHOCK LOAD – A force that results from the rapid application of a force(such as impacting and/or jerking) or rapid movement of a static load. Ashock load significantly adds to the static load.DESIGN (SAFETY) FACTOR – An industry term denoting a product’s the-oretical reserve capability; usually computed by dividing the catalogUltimate Load by the Working Load Limit. Generally expressed for blocksas a ratio of 4 to 1.TACKLE BLOCK – An assembly consisting of a sheave(s), side plates,and generally an end fitting (hook, shackle, etc.) that is used for lifting,lowering, or applying tension.SHEAVE / SHEAVE BEARING ASSEMBLY – Purchased by O.E.M. orend user to be used in their block or lifting system design.

WARNING• A potential hazard exists when lifting or dragging heavy loads

with tackle block assemblies.• Failure to design and use tackle block systems properly may

cause a load to slip or fall – the result could be serious injuryor death.

• Failure to design lifting system with appropriate sheaveassembly material for the intended application may cause pre-mature sheave, bearing or wire rope wear and ultimate failure– the result could be serious injury or death.

• A tackle block system should be rigged by a qualified personas defined by ANSI/ASME B.30.

• Instruct workers to keep hands and body away from blocksheaves and swivels – and away from “pinch points” whererope touches block parts or loads.

• Do not side load tackle blocks.• See OSHA Rule 1926.550(g) for personnel hoisting by cranes

and derricks, and OSHA Directive CPL 2-1.29 — InterimInspection Procedures During Communication TowerConstruction Activities. Only a Crosby or McKissick Hook witha PL latch attached and secured with a bolt, nut and cotter pin(or toggle pin) or a PL-N latch attached and secured with tog-gle pin; or a Crosby hook with an S-4320 latch attached andsecured with cotter pin or bolt, nut and pin; or a Crosby SHUR-LOC® Hook in the locked position may be used for any per-sonnel hoisting. A hook with a Crosby SS-4055 latch attachedshall NOT be used for personnel lifting.

• Instruct workers to be alert and to wear proper safety gear inareas where loads are moved or supported with tackle blocksystems.

• Use only genuine Crosby parts as replacement.• Read, understand, and follow these instructions to select, use

and maintain tackle block systems.

General Cautions or Warnings___________________________Ratings shown in Crosby Group literature are applicable only to new or

“in as new” products.Working Load Limit ratings indicate the greatest force or load a product

can carry under usual environmental conditions. shock loading andextraordinary conditions must be taken into account when selecting prod-ucts for use in tackle block systems. Working Load Limit ratings are basedon all sheaves of tackle block system being utilized. If all sheaves are notutilized, balance must be maintained, and the working Load Limit must bereduced proportionally to prevent overloading sheave components.Changes from full sheave reeving arrangement should be only at the rec-ommendaiton of a qualifie dperson, and incorporate good rigging prac-tices.

In general, the products displayed in Crosby Group literature are usedas parts of a system being employed to accomplish a task. Therefore, wecan only recommend within the working Load Limits, or other stated limi-tations, the use of products for this purpose.

The Working Load Limit or Design (Safety) Factor of each Crosby prod-uct may be affected by wear, misuse, overloading, corrosion, deformation,intentional alteration, and other use conditions. Regular inspection mustbe conducted to determine whether use can be continued at the catalogassigned WLL, a reduced WLL, a reduced Design (Safety) Factor, or with-drawn from service.

Crosby Group products generally are intended for tension or pull. Sideloading must be avoided, as it exerts additional force or loading which theproduct is not designed to accommodate.

Always make sure the hook supports the load.The latch must never sup-port the load.

Welding of load supporting parts or products can be hazardous.Knowledge of materials, heat treatment, and welding procedures are nec-essary for proper welding. Crosby Group should be consulted for infor-mation.

Fitting Maintenance________________________Fittings, including hooks, overhaul balls, shackles, links, etc., may

become worn and disfigured with use, corrosion, and abuse resulting innicks, gouges, worn threads and bearings, sharp corners which may pro-duce additional stress conditions and reduce system load capacity.

Grinding is the recommended procedure to restore smooth surfaces.The maximum allowance for reduction of a product’s original dimensiondue to wear or repair before removal from service is:

1. Any single direction - No more than 10% of original dimension;2. Two directions - No more than 5% of each dimension.

For detailed instructions on specific products, see the application andwarning information for that product. Any greater reduction may necessi-tate a reduced Working Load Limit.

Any crack or deformation in a fitting is sufficient cause to withdraw theproduct from service.

SHEAVE BEARING APPLICATION INFORMATION

Tackle Blocks must be regularly inspected, lubricated, and maintained for peak efficiency and extended usefulness. Their properuse and maintenance is equal in importance to other mechanical equipment. The frequency of inspection and lubrication isdependent upon frequency and periods of use, environmental conditions, and the user's good judgment.

Inspection: As a minimum, the following points should be considered:1. Wear on pins or axles, rope grooves, side plates, bushing or bearings, and fittings. (See Fitting Maintenance.) Excessive wear

may be a cause to replace parts or remove block from service.2. Deformation in side plates, pins and axles, fitting attachment points, trunnions, etc. Deformation can be caused by abusive

service and / or overload and may be a cause to remove block from service.3. Misalignment or wobble in sheaves.4. Security of nuts, bolts, and other locking methods, especially after reassembly following a tear down inspection. Original secur-

ing method should be used; e.g., staking, set screw, cotter pin, cap screw.5. Pins retained by snap rings should be checked for missing or loose rings.6. Sheave pin nuts should be checked for proper positioning. Pins for tapered roller bearings should be tightened to remove all

end play during sheave rotation. Pins for bronze bushings and straight roller bearings should have a running clearance of .031inch per sheave of end play and should be adjusted accordingly.

7. Hook or shackle to swivel case clearance is set at .031 to .062 at the factory. Increased clearance can result from componentwear. Clearance exceed ing .12 to.18 should necessitate disassembly and further inspection.

8. Deformation or corrosion of hook and nut threads.9. Surface condition and deformation of hook (See Fitting Maintenance and ANSI B30.10.)10. Welded side plates for weld corrosion or weld cracking.11. Hook latch for deformation, proper fit and operation.

Lubrication: The frequency of lubrication depends upon frequency and period of product use as well as environmental conditions,which are contingent upon the user's good judgment. Assuming normal product use, the following schedule is suggested whenusing lithium-base grease of a medium consistency.

Sheave BearingsTapered Roller Bearings—Every 40 hours of continuous operation or every 30 days of intermittent operation.Roller Bearings—Every 24 hours of continuous operation or every 14 days of intermittent operation.Bronze Bushings—(Not Self Lubricated)—Every 8 hours of continuous operation or every 14 days of intermittent operation.

Hook BearingsAnti Friction—Every 14 days for frequent swiveling; every 45 days for infrequent swiveling.Bronze Thrust Bushing or No Bearing—Every 16 hours for frequent swiveling; every 21 days for infrequent swiveling.Tackle Block Maintenance also depends upon proper block selection (see "Loads on Blocks"), proper reeving (see "The

Reeving of Tackle Blocks"), consideration of shock loads, side loading, and other adverse conditions.

BRONZE BUSHINGS—Bronze Bushings are used primarily for sheave applications using slow line speed, moderate load, and moderate use.The per-

formance capability of a bearing is related to the bearing pressure and the bearing surface velocity by a relationship known as truePV (Maximum Pressure - Velocity Factor). The material properties of the Bronze Bushings furnished as standard in Crosby cata-log sheaves are:

(BP) Maximum Bearing Pressure :4500 PSI(BV) Maximum Velocity at Bearing :1200 FPM(PV) Maximum Pressure Velocity Factor :55000

(It should be noted that due to material property relations, the maximum BP times the maximum BV is NOT equal to the maximumPV.)

Formula for Calculating Bearing Pressure:BP = Line Pull x Angle Factor

Shaft Size x Hub WidthNote: Angle factor Multipliers listed on page 19

Formula for Calculating Bearing Velocity:BV = PV

Formula for Calculating Line Speed:Line Speed = BV (Tread Diameter + Rope Diameter)

The Working Load Limit (WLL) for Crosby Group blocks indicates the maximum load that should be exerted on the block and itsconnecting fitting.

This total load value may be different from the weight being lifted or pulled by a hoisting or hauling system. It is necessary todetermine the total load being imposed on each block in the system to properly determine the rated capacity block to be used.

A single sheave block used to change load line direction can be subjected to total loads greatly different from the weight beinglifted or pulled. The total load value varies with the angle between the incoming and departing lines to the block.

The following chart indicates the factor to be multiplied by the line pull to obtain the total load on the block.

Example A(Calculations for determining total load value on single line

system.)A gin pole truck lifting 1,000 Ibs.

There is no mechanical advantage to a single part load line system, so winch line pull is equal to 1,000 Ibs. or the weight beinglifted.

To determine total load on snatch block A: A = 1,000 Ibs. x 1.81 = 1,810 Ibs.(line pull) (factor 50° angle)

To determine total load on toggle block, B: B = 1,000 Ibs. x .76 = 760 Ibs.(line pull) (factor 135° angle)

Calculations can be made to find the maximum allowable line speed for a given total sheave load. If the required line speed isgreater than the maximum allowable line speed calculated, then increase the shaft size and/or the hub width and recalculate.Continue the process until the maximum allowable line speed is equal to or exceeds the required line speed.

ExampleUsing a 14 in. sheave (Stock # 917191; refer to wire rope sheave section of 950 General Catalog for dimensions) with a 4600 lb. Iine pull and an 80° angle between lines determine maximum allowable line speed.

BP = (4600 lb. x 1.53) —: (1. 50 x 1.62) = 2896 PSI(line pull) (angle factor) (Shaft Size) (Hub Width)

BV = 55000 —: 2896 = 19 FPM ALLOWABLE(PV Factor) (BP)

Line Speed = 19 x (12 + .75) —: 1.50 = 161.5 FPM ALLOWABLE(BV) (Tread Dia + Rope Size) (Shaft Dia.)

If the application required a line speed equal to 200 FPM, then another calculation would be necessary. Trying another 14 in.sheave (stock # 4104828) under the same loading conditions, the results are as follows:

BP = (4600 Ibs. x 1.53) —: (2.75 x 2.31) = 1108 PSIBV = 55000 —: 1108 = 50 FPMLine Speed = 50 x (12.25 + .75)—: 2.75 = 236 FPM ALLOWABLE

COMMON (PLAIN) BORE—Very slow line speed, very infrequent use, low load.ROLLER BEARING—Faster line speeds, more frequent use, greater load. Refer to manufacturer's rating.

THE REEVING OFTACKLE BLOCKSIn reeving of tackle blocks, there are manymethods. The method discussed below isreferred to as "Right Angle" reeving.Please consult your rigging manual forother methods of reeving.

RIGHT ANGLE REEVINGIn reeving a pair of tackle blocks, one ofwhich has more than two sheaves, thehoisting rope should lead from one of thecenter sheaves of the upper block to pre-vent toppling and avoid injury to the rope.The two blocks should be placed so thatthe sheaves in the upper block are at rightangles to those in the lower one, as shown in the following illustrations.

Start reeving with the becket or dead end of the rope. Use a shackle block as the upper one of a pair and a hook blockas the lower one as seen below.

Sheaves in a set of blocks revolve at different rates of speed. Those nearest the lead line revolve at the highest rate ofspeed and wear out more rapidly.

All sheaves should be kept well lubricated when in operation to reduce friction and wear.

Example B (Calculation for determining total load value for mechanical advantage system.)

Hoisting system lifting 1,000 Ibs. using a traveling block.The mechanical advantage of traveling block C is 2.00 because two (2) parts of load line support the 1,000 lb. weight. (To

determine single line pull for various bearing efficiency see "How to Figure Line Parts" page 109).To Determine Line Pull:Line Pull = 1000 Ibs. —: 2.00 = 500 Ibs.

To determine total load on traveling blockC = 500lbs. x 2.0 = 1,000 lbs.

(line pull) (Factor 0° angle)

To determine total load on stationary block D:D = 500 Ibs. x 1.87 + 500 Ibs. = 1,435 Ibs.

(line pull) (Factor 40° angle) (dead end load)

To determine total load on block E:E = 500 Ibs. x .84 = 420 Ibs.

(line pull) (Factor 130° angle)

To determine total load on block F:F = 500 Ibs. x 1.41 = 705 Ibs.

To help figure the number of parts of line to be used fora given load, or the line pull required for a given load,(For example use reeving diagram on page 20. Onlynumbered lines shall be used in the calculation). Thefollowing ratio table is provided with examples of how touse it.

Ratio A or B = Total Load to be LiftedSingle Line Pull (Ibs.)

After calculating Ratio A or B, consult table to determine number ofparts of line.

Examples• To find the number of parts of line needed when weight of load

and single line pull are known, and using Bronze Bushed Sheaves.

Ratio A = 72,180 Ibs. (load to be lifted) = 9.068,000 Ibs. (single line pull) (Ratio A)

Refer to ratio 9.06 in table or number nearest to it, then check col-umn under heading "Number of Line Parts" = 12 parts of line to beused for this load.

• To find the single line pull needed when weight of load and numberof parts of line are known, and using anti-friction bearing sheaves.

Single Line Pull = 68,000 Ibs.(load to be lifted) = 9290 lbs.7.32 (Ratio B of 8 part line)

9,290 Ibs. single line pull required to lift this load on 8 parts of line.

• To find the lift capacity when the parts of line and single line pullare known, and using anti-friction bearing sheaves.

10,000 Ibs. (single line pull) x 4.71 (ratio B of 5 parts of line)

= 47,100 Ibs. (Lift Capacity) 10,000 Ibs. single line pull with 5 parts of line will accommodate47,1001bs. Iift capacity.

The Formula is:Required Block Weight = [(Boom Length x Factor A) + Drum Friction] x Factor B

ExampleTo determine the required block or overhaul weight using 5 parts of7/8" diameter wire rope, a 50 ft. boom and roller bearing sheaves:

Required Block Weight =[(50 ft. x 1.42) + 50 lbs.] x 5.38 = 651 lbs.

(Boom length) Factor A (Drum Friction) (Factor B)

To determine the weight of the block or overhaul ball that is required tofree fall the block, the following information is needed: size of wire rope,number of line parts, type of sheave bearing, length of crane boom,and drum friction (use 50 pounds, unless other information is avail-able).

COMPARATIVE TABLE OF WIRE SIZES AND CHAIN SIZES

Campbell welded chain products are designed and builtfor rugged lasting service. As with any quality productcertain precautions and standards of treatment shouldbe observed. Follow the suggestions listed below andthe serviceable life may be extended considerablybeyond the normal life of the chain. Campbell engineersshould be consulted when heat treated chain is used atunusual temperatures (under -20°F) [-29°C] or over350°F [1 77°C] or where special applications arerequired.

Instructions Regarding Attachments: Where attach-ments, such as hooks or rings, are designed for usewith chain in sustaining loads, care should be taken toselect the type, grade and size recommended.Attachments shall have a rated capacity (working loadlimit) at least equal to that of the steel chain with whichthey are used; if not, the assembly shall be rated to thecapacity of the weakest component.

Cautions: The terms "working load limit" and "prooftest" contain no implication of what load the chain willwithstand if either of the above factors are changed.NEVER EXCEED THE WORKING LOAD LIMIT OFCHAIN even when chain is new and the load is uni-formly applied. Manufacturer denies any liability fordamage which may result from use in excess of work-ing load limit. Any abuse or misuse of the product maylessen the load the product will withstand. Some exam-ples of such changes and abuses are as follows:

Twisting.Disfigurement.Deterioration of the product by strain, usage or

corrosion.Shock loading.Use for a purpose other than that for which the

particular product was intended.Use to carry a load in excess of working load limit.

Purchasers will please note that all the "cautions" aboveset forth apply not only to the use of the chain, but alsoto the use of attachments thereon.

INSTRUCTIONS - LEVER TYPE LOAD BINDERS• Hook load binder to chain so you can operate it while standing on the ground. Position load binder so its handle can be pulled

downward to tighten chain. Be aware of ice, snow, rain, oil, etc. that can affect your footing. Make certain your footing is secure.• The Crosby Group, Inc. specifically recommends AGAINST the use of a handle extender (cheater pipe). If sufficient leverage

cannot be obtained using the lever type load binder by itself, a ratchet type binder should be used.• If the above recommendation is disregarded and a cheater pipe is used, it must closely fit the handle and must slide down the

handle until the handle projections are contacted. The pipe should be secured to the handle, for example, by a pin, so that thepipe cannot fly off the handle if you lose control and let go. The increased leverage, by using a cheater pipe, can cause defor-mation and failure of the chain and load binder.

• During and after tightening chain, check load binder handle position. Be sure it is in the locked position and that its bottom sidetouches the chain link.

• Chain tension may decrease due to load shifting during transport. To be sure the load binder remains in proper position: Securehandle to chain by wrapping the loose end of chain around the handle and the tight chain, or tie handle to chain with soft wire.

• When releasing load binder, remember that is a great deal of energy in the stretched chain. This will cause the load binder han-dle to move very quickly with great force when it is unlatched. Move handle with caution. It may whip—keep body clear.

• Never use a cheater pipe or handle extender to release handle. Use a steel bar and pry under the handle and stay out of thepath of handle as it moves upward.

• If you release the handle by hand, use an open hand under the handle and push upward. Do not close your hand around thehandle. Always keep yourself out of the path of the moving handle.

INSTRUCTIONS - RATCHET TYPE LOAD BINDERS• Position ratchet binder so it can be operated from the ground.• Make sure your footing is secure.

MAINTENANCE OF ALL LOAD BINDERS• Routinely check load binders for wear, bending, cracks, nicks, or gouges. If bending or cracks are present—do not use load

binder.• Routinely lubricate pivot and swivel points of Lever Binders, and pawl part and screw threads of Ratchet Binders to extend prod-

uct life and reduce friction wear.

CHAIN LOAD BINDERS

• Failure to use this load binder properlymay result in serious injury or evendeath to you or others.

• Do not operate load binder whilestanding on the load.

• Move handle with caution. It may whip— Keep body clear.

• Keep yourself out of the path of themoving handle.

• You must be familiar with state andfederal regulations regarding size andnumber of chain systems required forsecuring loads on trucks

• Always consider the safety of nearbyworkers as well as yourself whenusing load binder.

• While under tension, load binder mustnot bear against an object, as this willcause side load.

• Do not throw these instructions away.Keep them close at hand and sharethem with any others who use thisload binder.

Breaking strengths shown in this catalog are based on the minimum load a component or assembly will withstand before failing.WORKING LOAD LIMITS SHOWN IN THIS CATALOG ARE RATED AT ONE-THIRD OF THE MINIMUM BREAKING STRENGTH.Unless otherwise specified all ratings are based on a straight tensile pull. Load directions other than straight can result in a sig-nificant reduction in breaking strength.

The ratings shown in this catalog are contingent upon using Kinedyne track, beams, webbing or hardware as a system.The weak-est link (sew patterns, webbing, hardware, etc.) determines the minimum breaking strength rating of the strap assembly or tie-downsystem. Tie-downs must be attached to securing points of equal or greater strength for break-strength rating to be maintained.NOTE: All straps shown in this catalog are intended to be used as cargo securing devices. No straps are to be used for lifting pur-poses.

All ratings are for products in new condition. Age, wear or damage to any tie-down system can greatly reduce its rating. All prod-ucts should be inspected on a regular basis. CAUTION: Webbing straps must be protected when used on rough or sharp objects.All worn, deformed or damaged products should immediately be removed from service and replaced.

All Kinedyne products should be used in accordance with local, state, federal, and industry regulations. IT IS THE OWNER'SAND/OR USER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO EVALUATE THE SUITABILITY OF ANY CARGO SECURING PRODUCT FOR THEIRPARTICULAR APPLICATION. Failure to comply with recommended usage guidelines may result in personal injury or cargo -damage.

WARNING: When tightening or loosening winches, always maintain a firm grip onthe winch bar. Never release a winch bar without checking the pawl to ensurethat it is fully engaged between ratchet teeth. Releasing a winch bar without thepawl being properly engaged can cause serious injury to the user or bystanders.The use of a slip resistant handle winch bar, specifically designed to tighten orloosen winches, is recommended. Kinedyne winch bars (page 118) shall be usedto tension and release tie-down assemblies. "Cheater Bars" ("extenders") shallnot be used with the winch bars. Users shall stand clear of the winch bar handleduring operation of the winch bar in case the winch bar slips. The tip of thewinch bar shall be inserted through both holes in the end cap to prevent thewinch bar from "slipping out" and overloading the tip and/or end cap. Winchesshall not be loaded in excess of their working load limit. Winches shall not beused as pulling or lifting devices. A minimum of 12" of Webbing shall be insertedthrough the slot, and a minimum of two (2) wraps shall be on the winch mandrel.

CAUTION: Excessive wraps of webbing on the mandrel will reduce the workingload limit of the winch.

PORTABLE WINCH WARNING: Set screws on portable winches are designed toposition the winch while the tie-down assembly is being tightened. They shallonly be snug tight. Overtightening of screws may cause the bracket to bend,weakening the winch and causing it to fail. Portable winches shall be removedand stored when not in use.

WARNING: Welding galvanized material may form toxic fumes. Welding shall bedone with adequate ventilation.

WARNING: Do not overload beams or create a top-heavy, unstable trailer.

WARNING: When Series F bars are used in the vertical position, the spring end ofthe bar must be up to avoid bouncing out of the rack. Shoring bars shall not beused in decking applications, unless otherwise specified.

WARNING: Cargo bars are not intended for the use with cargo on wheels.Overtensioning of ratchet mechanism may cause damage to trailer sidewalls.NOTE: Cargo bars do not have load ratings due to varying conditions of trailersidewalls.

WARNING: The use of cheater bars or other means of increasing the leverage ona ratchet bucket handle, other than a Kinedyne approved device, can cause seri-ous injury to the user and/or bystanders.

NYLON ROPEThese ropes are the strongest ropes manufactured. Size for size, they are over twice as strong as Manila. Nylon ropes are extreme-ly elastic, in fact, their working elasticity is almost four times as much as Manila and Dacron and about twice that of monofilamentPolypropylene.This provides excellent energy absorption. However, Nylon is not recommended where elasticity is a problem. Beingrot and mildew resistant, these ropes can be stored wet. This rope is white and is available in a full range of sizes. Stock color iswhite.

POLYPROPYLENE ROPEThis monofilament line is the most widely used of the synthetics today. It is by far the most economical. Polypropylene incorporatesmany of the advantageous qualities of all other synthetics and natural fiber ropes. It possesses excellent strength characteristics,remarkable durability and handling ease. However, it is not recommended for use on bitts and capstans where heat is a factorbecause it will tend to stick and fuse. This rope has outstanding chemical resistance and dielectric properties. Its working elastic-ity lies between Nylon and Manila. It will not rot, mildew or shrink and it floats. Polypropylene is available in a full range of sizes.Stock rope is yellow in color.

(*RWL) RECOMMENDED WORKING LOADSRecommended working loads should be exceeded only with expert knowledge of conditions and professional estimates of risks. If the rope has not been subjected to dynamic loading orother excessive use and has been inspected and found to be in good working condition, it can be used in the following recommended manner. The recommended working loads for twistedrope are derived by taking 8-11% of new rope tensile strength for nylon and 1~14% for other twisted ropes in this catalog. The recommended working loads for braided rope are 15-20% ofnew rope tensile strength. The percentages vary according to rope size and type.

USE OF RECOMMENDED WORKING LOADSBecause of the wide range of rope use rope conditions, exposure to several factors affecting rope behavior, and the degree of risk to life and property involved, it is impossible to make blan-ket recommendations as to working loads. However, to provide guidelines, recommended working loads are tabulated for rope in good condition with appropriate splices, in non-critical appli-cations and under normal service conditions.

NEW ROPE TENSILE STRENGTHSNew rope tensile strengths are based on tests of new and unused rope of standard construction in accordance with Cordage institute Standard Test Methods. All figures are "Average"— Theminimum is 10% below stated amount.

AVOID OVERLOADINGWorking loads should be exceeded only with expert knowledge of conditions and professional estimates of risk. Working loadsshould be reduced where life, limb or valuable property are involved; or for exceptional service conditions such as shock loads,sustained loads, etc.

AVOID ABRASIONOuter and inner rope fibers contribute equally to the strength of your rope. When worn, your rope is naturally weakened. Where itis necessary for a rope to rub over an object, protect it with chafing gear, such as canvas wrapped and tied around the rope.

AVOID SUDDEN STRAINRope that is strong enough under a steady strain can be broken with a sudden jerk. Care when working with rope is extremelyimportant.

AVOID KINKSWhen rope is repeatedly turned or twisted in one direction, it is certain that kinks will develop, unless twists are repeatedly thrownin, or out of rope. Pulling a kink through a restricted space such as a tackle block will seriously damage the rope fibers.

AVOID SHARP ANGLES

BRAIDED ANDTWISTED ROPE

SPLICINGAVAILABLE

IN OUR SHOP

Sharp bends greatly affect the strength of a rope. Any sharp angle is a weak spot. Pad it for safety, and even then, Be Careful.

AVOID CHEMICALSVirtually all synthetic fiber ropes are resistant to damage from oil, gasoline, paint and most chemicals.To be on the safe side, how-ever, keep your rope free of any type chemical. Natural fiber ropes are, of course, severely damaged by exposure to chemicals

KEEP ROPE CLEANDirt on the surface and imbedded in rope acts as an abrasive on fibers. When rope becomes dirty, wash it thoroughly with cleanwater. Be sure to dry natural fiber ropes before storing.

AVOID IMPROPER STORAGESynthetic fiber ropes require no special storing conditions other than keeping them out of direct sunlight, away from the elementsand out of extremely hot rooms.The ultra-violet rays of sunlight have a weakening effect on rope that is exposed for prolonged peri-ods of time. Natural fiber ropes must, of course, be kept dry or they will rot in a very short time.

REVERSE ENDSProlonged use, or wear, of one part of a rope will naturally decrease its effectiveness at that point. Occasionally reverse your rope,end-for-end, to distribute the wear more evenly. A good example is an anchor line aboard a boat.

—CAUTION—"Never allow anyone to stand in line with or within 45° on either side of a rope under tension. Should the rope fail or other parts of the assembly fail, the recoil force could cause serious injuryor damage, especially if the rope is nylon.”

FAILURE OF A TENSIONED ROPE AND/OR CONNECTIONS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD. SUDDEN LOSS RELEASE FROM A TENSIONED ROPE CAUSES SNAPBACK, WHICH CANRESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

Recoiling rope may oscillate violently in an unpredictable path,away from the failure point hitting anything in its way with great impact.Personnel in the path of the recoiling rope may be seriously hurt or even killed. Rope and its connecting hardware must be selected with sufficient safety factors for the specific dynam-

ic use conditions, and the rope and/or connector must be inspected before each use and replace if worn, frayed or cut.

Sharp bends significantly reduce rope strength. A working rope should never be subjectedto a bend of less than 3 times rope diameter. A bend ratio of 4 times, or more, will prolongrope life. Eye-splice length should be at least 3 times the diameter of the cylinder (bitt, etc.)over which the eye is used. A length of 5 times diameter is even better.

Sheave diameter should be 8 times braided rope diameter and 10 times twisted ropediameter. Sheave groove must be wider than rope diameter. Never use wire rope or V-beltsheaves because they pinch fiber ropes and cause excessive friction and damage.

Never allow anyone to stand in line with or within 45° on either side of a rope under ten-sion. Should the rope fail or other parts of the assembly fail, the recoil force could cause seri-ous injury or damage, especially if the rope is nylon.

CRITICAL CONDITIONS OF USE

Lines should not be subjected to bending radius less than 3 x diameter of line. Preferably 8x diameter will extend life of line.

Most self retracting devices can be broken down into a number of basic components: a) the anchorage point or handle; b) the housing including:i) drum containing excess spooled line; ii) locking mechanism; and iii) spring mechanism; c) the line itself; d) the connecting means; and e) the fallindicator.

The anchorage point or handle must be durable and meet ANSI standards for anchorage strengths. Some include swivels which greatly reduce the chances of the line becoming entan-gled or twisted.

The housing can be made of any number of materials including: stainless steel, cast aluminum and/or syntlhetics. The housing is very important because it sheilds the inner workingsof the device from contaminants and debris which could cause corrosion or prevent the unit from functioning properly. Our lifelines have a housing and inner components that are environ-mentally sealed for added protection.

The drum contains the spooled line and, on many units, an additional reserve line which prevents use of the lifeline at its end, while allowing additional energy absorption. When thereserve line is deployed, an indicator should appear to show that the reserve line has been deployed and requires servicing.

RETRACTABLE LANYARDS

CODE NO. DESCRIPTION

8327A 8 foot length 13⁄4” webbing retractable lanyard w/carabiner

All self retracting devices perform a tethering function which allows unrestricted vertical movement to the device while arresting the user’s fall.These deviceshave a housing normally anchored to the anchorage of a fall arrest system containing a drum-wound lifeline. The retracting end of the lifeline will unwindfrom the drum under slight tension during normal movement below the device.When tension is removed, the drum will automatically retract the lifeline. Quickmovement, which is typically applied at the onset of a fall, will lock the drum and arrest the user’s motion. The self retracting device is designed to arrest afall while minimizing fall distance and impact forces.

OSHA regulations state "Self-retracting lifelines and lanyards which do not limit free fall distance to 2 feet (0. 61 m) or less, rip-stitch lanyards, and tear-ing and deforming lanyards shall be capable of sustaining a minimum load of 5,000 Ibs. (22 kN) applied to the lifeline or lanyard in the fully extended posi-tion". (OSlIA, 29 CFR Parts 1910 and 1926.)

The self retracting lifeline (as defined by ANSI Z359.1-1992) is a device which contains a drum-wound line which may be slowly extracted from orretracted onto the drum under slight tension during normal movement of the user. The line has means for attachment to the fall arrest attachmenton the body support. After onset of a fall, the device automatically locks off and arrests the fall.

The retractable lifeline, or fall arrest block is a device which is usually long in length (6.0 to 100 m, 20 - 320 ft. bearing point length). It is specif-ically engineered for fall arrest in the vertical plane of motion. When the user falls at more than approximately 1.2 m (4.5 ft) per second, the deviceautomatically locks off to arrest the fall. The device will remain locked until released, and then resume normal operation. Note: The unit should beinspected following loading or fall arrest. Most units have an indicator which changes appearance in the event of severe loading. The unit must besent to an authorized dealer or manufacturer for servicing in the event that the indicator activates.

The retractable lifeline is available in varying lengths depending on the manufacturer and required use. This device anchors above the workarea for fall arrest protection during vertical movement of a single individual. In many units the arrest force is minimized by an intemal shock absorb-ing mechanism. We supply a number of retractable lifelines for various applications, uses, and personnel.

Retractable Lanyards Retractable lanyards or web retractors are shorter in length and more compact than the retractable lifeline. These devicesrange between 1.5 to 6.0 m (5 - 20 ft.) bearing point length.

State-of-the-art in fall arrest technology, and highly recommended where durability and high mobility are essential. This webbing lanyard offers up to 8 feetof movement, while eliminating lanyard slack. A spring keeps a slight constant tension on the lanyard, thus keeping it from dragging and eliminating the trip-ping hazard. Should a fall be detected, an internal braking system engages and arrests the fall. A free fall situation is virtually nonexistent with this unit. Theunit is covered by a durable, highly visible vinyl jacket to extend service life. A carabiner is included for anchorage attachment.

SWING FALL HAZARDSwing fall is a pendulum-like motion thatcan occur when a worker moves in ahorizontal direction away from a fixedanchorage, and then falls. While theforce generated in a swing fall is thesame as the force in a vertical fall, thereis a potential hazard of colliding with astructure such as a building or platform.

ENERGY ABSORBERA fall of even a few feet will create tremendouslyhigh impact forces to both the fallen worker and theentire fall protection system. High impact forcescould cause significant injury, even if a worker is ina full body harness.This force could also stress theanchor point beyond a safe working load. The bestmethod of reducing impact force is to use a per-sonal energy absorber (EAP); this is usuallyachieved by creating friction as it dissipates energyof the fall through distance. The energy absorberwill reduce impact forces considerably, effectivelyreducing impact loading to the fallen individual,connecting means, anchorage connector and theanchor. A lanyard with an integrally connectedenergy absorber offers uncomplicated use; thistype of lanyard is also less likely to be altered.NOTE: With the use of an energy absorber, onemust take into account extended fall distance withelongation and deployment.

TOTAL FALL DISTANCETotal fall distance is the maximum verti-cal change in distance from the bottomof the individual’s feet at the onset of afall to the position of the feet after the fallis arrested—including free fall distanceand deceleration distance. Total fall dis-tance can be affected by many factorsincluding: (a) Length of connectingmeans, (b) Position and height ofanchorage relative to work platform, (c)Position of attachment and D-ring slideon the full body harness, (d)Deployment of shock absorber, (e)Movement in lifeline, (f) Initial position ofworker before free fall (i.e. sitting, stand-ing, etc.)

HORIZONTAL LIFELINESAFETYHorizontal lifelines often act as a “floating” anchorageallowing a worker to travel horizontally for long distanceswithout the risk of large pendulum or swing falls. When aworker falls into a horizontal lifeline, the forces acting onthe anchorages are multiplied several times from theirvertical component. This must be taken into accountwhen selecting the anchorages and the anchorage con-nectors. The lifeline must be made of low stretch materi-al to limit the amount of sag produced during a fallthereby limiting the amount of required clearance toobstructions below.

FAS = Fall arrest systemHLL = Horizontal lifelineMAL = Maximum arrest loadFFD = Free fall distanceMAF = Maximum arrest forceTFD = Total fall distance

= Sag + Free fall distance+ Deceleration distance

FORCE VECTORRecognizing a force vector is veryimportant when tensioning ropes orcables in the horizontal plane, asoccurs with a lifeline or deflection

line. Allowing sufficient sag in the line is one method of reducing forces to end anchorages.Other methods would include the use of inline energy absorbers.

Follow manufacturer’s recommendations for erecting temporary horizontal lifelines. Itshould be noted that there are no defined standards for horizontal lifeline anchorages. Whenan energy absorber is not used, the anchorages should each be rated for at least 16,000 lbs.,unless the entire system is designed by a professional engineer. Engineering considerationsinclude length of span, nature of lifeline, number of users, amount of pretension required, in-line energy absorption, and the dynamic or static nature of the connecting means.

HARNESS INSPECTIONFREQUENCY• Before each use, visually inspect per steps listed below.

• The full body harness must be inspected by a competent person other than the user atleast annually. See section 5.2 and 5.3 for guidelines. Record the results of each formalinspection in the inspection log found in section 9.0.

IMPORTANTIf the Full Body Harness has been subjected to fall arrest or impact forces, it must be imme-diately removed from service and destroyed. Extreme working conditions (harsh environ-ments, prolonged use, etc.) may require increasing the frequency of inspections.

INSPECTION STEPSStep 1. Inspect harness hardware (i.e. buckles, D-rings, back pad, keepers, etc.); these

items must not be damaged, broken, distorted, or have any sharp edges, burrs,cracks, worn parts, or corrosion. Check any PVC coated hardware for cuts, rips,tears, holes, etc. in the coating. Make sure buckles work freely. Inspect parachutebuckle spring.

Step 2. Inspect webbing; material must be free of frayed, cut, or broken fibers; check fortears, abrasions, mold, burns, discoloration, etc. Inspect stitching; check for pulled orcut stitches. Broken stitches may be an indication that the harness has been impactloaded and must be removed from service.

Step 3. Inspect labels; all labels should be present and fully legible. Labels must be replacedif illegible or missing.

Step 4. Inspect each system component or subsystem per associated manufacturer’sinstructions.

Step 5. Record the inspection date and results in the inspection log.

If inspection reveals a defective condition, remove unit from service immediately and destroyor contact factory authorized service center for repair.

LANYARD INSPECTIONIMPORTANTExtreme working conditions (harsh environment, prolonged use, etc.) may require increas-ing the frequency of inspections.

INSPECTION STEPSStep 1. Inspect Energy Absorbing Lanyard or Energy Absorber component hardware (i.e.

snap hooks, adjusters, swedges, thimbles, etc.) These items must not be damaged,broken, distorted, or have any sharp edges, burrs, cracks, worn parts, or corrosion.Make certain the connecting hooks work properly. Hook gates must move freely andlock upon closing. Make certain adjusters (if present) work properly.

Step 2. Inspect the Energy Absorbing Lanyard or Energy Absorber component per the fol-lowing, as applicable:

WEBBING AND STITCHING: Inspect webbing. Material must be free of frayed, cut,or broken fibers. Check for tears, abrasions, mold, burns, discoloration, etc. Inspectstitching. Check for pulled or cut stitches. Broken stitches may be an indication theEnergy Absorbing Lanyard or Energy Absorber component has been impact loadedand must be removed from service. The webbing must be free of knots, excessivesoiling, heavy paint buildup, and rust staining. Check for chemical or heat damage(this type of damage may show up as a brown, discolored, or brittle areas). Checkfor ultraviolet damage (this type of degradation is indicated by discoloration and thepresence of splinters or slivers on the webbing surface). All of the above factors areknown to reduce webbing strength. Damaged or questionable webbing should bereplaced. NOTE: For Model ZM901, inspect for cuts or tears in the tubular jacket, ifcore web (white color) is exposed, remove from service immediately.

SYNTHETIC ROPE: Inspect rope for concentrated wear. Material must be free offrayed strands and broken yarns, cuts and abrasions, burns, discoloration, etc. Therope must be free of knots, excessive soiling, heavy paint buildup, and rust staining.Rope splices must be tight, with five full tucks, and thimbles shall be held by thesplice. Check for chemical or heat damage (this type of damage may show up asbrown, discolored, or brittle areas). Check for ultraviolet damage (this type of degra-dation is indicated by discoloration and the presence of splinters and slivers on therope surface). All of the above factors are known to reduce rope strength. Damagedor questionable ropes should be replaced.

WIRE ROPE: Inspect entire length of wire rope. Always wear protective gloves wheninspecting wire rope. Inspect for broken wires by passing cable through your glovedhands, flexing it every few inches to expose breaks. Broken wires can be removedby bending the wire back and forth parallel to the rope length. Do not attempt to pullwires out of rope. Replace the wire rope if there are six or more randomly distributedbroken wires in one lay, or three or more broken wires in one strand in one lay (A“lay” of wire rope is the length of wire rope that it takes for a strand [the larger groupsof wires] to complete one revolution or twist along the rope). Replace the wire ropeif there are any broken wires within 1 inch of the metal compression sleeves(swedges) at either end of the assembly. Wire rope should be free of corrosion.

Step 3. ENERGY ABSORBING COMPONENT: Inspect Energy Absorber to determine if ithas been activated, there should be no evidence of elongation. Make certain ener-gy absorber cover is secure and not torn or damaged.

BEFORE EACH USE of any fall protection equipment, carefully inspect it to assure that it isin serviceable condition. Check for worn or damaged parts; ensure all hardware (i.e. snaphooks, swedges, thimbles, etc.) are present and secure and are not distorted, or have anysharp edges, burrs, cracks, or corrosion. Make sure self locking snap hooks or carabinerswork properly. Inspect rope/webbing/wire rope for wear, cuts, burns, frayed edges, breaks orother damage. Do not use if inspection reveals an unsafe condition.

HARNESS MAINTENANCE,SERVICING, STORAGE• Clean full body harness with water and mild soap solution. Wipe off hardware with clean,

dry cloth, and hang to air dry. Do not force dry with heat. An excessive buildup of dirt, paint,etc. may prevent the full body harness from working properly, and in severe cases, degradethe webbing to a point where it weakens and should be removed from service.

• If you have any questions concerning the condition of your harness, or have any doubtabout putting it into service, contact Bairstow.

• Additional maintenance and servicing procedures (i.e. replacement parts) must be com-pleted by a factory authorized service center be in writing. Do not attempt to disassemblethe unit.

• Store full body harnesses in a cool, dry, clean environment out of direct sunlight. Avoidareas where chemical vapors may exist.Thoroughly inspect the full body harness after anyperiod of extended storage.

The new Lug-All cable winch-hoist costs less, weighs less (only 34 lbs.) and is easier to operate than a chain hoist of the samecapacity. It stores 15 ft. of cable right on its drum and provides 50% more reach than the average chain hoist. The new hoist hasa unique reversible handle that telescopes from 37-1/2” to 57” to provide extra leverage when needed. Permits pulling from a stand-ing position. Available in marine grade. 100% American made. 1/2 ton to 3 ton capacities. Lightweight and portable.

In 1949, LUG-ALL pioneered a new concept . . . a portable cable ratchet winch-hoist with strong aluminum frame, self-storing air-craft cable, a reversible safety handle, and an interlocking pawl system. The LUG-ALL has been imitated. It has never been sur-passed. When you want a winch-hoist, specify LUG-ALL. There’s a big difference.

FEATURES: Operates smoothly right side up or upside down in most positions. Forged-steel safety hooks straighten if over-stressed.Three workable hooks instead of two. Factory tested to 50% overload. Easily rigged and carried by one man. Interlockingpawl system will not slip even if wet or oily. Free release—works only when hoist is unloaded. Operates at two speeds. Adjusts forclose control.

*Capacity calculated for materials hoisting. For manriding, conform to all safety regulations.**Any odd lengths supplied on request. Unless specified otherwise, wire rope is fitted with its standard safety hook at one end and welded point the other end. Alightweight metal reel, supplied with the wire rope, facilitates carrying and stowing. As a rule GRIPHOIST units are not sold without their wire rope.

Griphoist machines used in conjunction with sheave blocks willefficiently solve most of your pulling and lifting problems. By usingsheave blocks on the hauling rope, the nominal capacity ofGriphoist machines can be multipled 2, 3 and even 4 times asshown in the diagram. As a rule, it is not difficult to figure the num-ber of line parts to be used for a given load. It is however impor-tant, especially when there is a greater number of line parts, totake into account the friction in the sheaves, which can have a non-negligible influence on the strain exerted on the hoist and the topanchoring hook of the block.

INSPECTION MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRIt is important to establish a regular procedure for clamp inspection. Frequency of inspection will depend upon the amount of usethe clamp receives, and may well vary from one department or area to another. Merrill clamps are built to withstand rough treat-ment. Grit, dirt, sludge and mud should be removed, however. This may be done easily by immersing the entire clamp in a can ofdegreaser and leaving it there overnight. Also, periodic oiling of all pins and rivits will improve performance and help to extend thelife of the clamp. You may wish to maintain a written record, indicating inspection dates, condition of the clamp on each of thosedates, and any repairs made. Inspection records should be reviewed periodically.

CAUTIONSThe clamps in this catalog are not intended to serve as a permanent connection to a plate or other object. The grip depends onfriction and a camming action. If the gripping surfaces are not properly maintained and the clamp is improperly used, the load mayfall. Use extreme caution where overhead lifting is involved or where a failure could cause property damage or personal injury. Readmaintenance and use instructions.

WARNING1. Do not exceed Working Load Limit.2. Inspect clamp before each lift.3. Do not lift more than one plate or sheet at a time.4. Position clamp to balance load.5. Insert plate or unit to full depth of throat opening.6. Lift slowly and smoothly. Do not jerk load.7. Stand clear of load when lifting.8. Do not use a damaged clamp.9. Read manufacturer’s instructions before using clamps.

10. Do not use any Merrill clamp to lift tapered plates or beams.11. When lifting plates with a hardness over 43 Rockwell C/400 Brinnell, consult the clamp manufacturer.

RIGGING SAFETY IS NO ACCIDENT!All rigging operations involve some element of danger. As today’s rigging requirements become more complex (i.e. heavier and/orawkward loads to lift) greater emphasis must be placed on specifying and using the correct sling necessary for hoisting each par-ticular load. Choosing the right rigging gear requires adequate training in safety procedures for all management and field person-nel.

THE PREVENTION OF RIGGERS MORTIS SERIES has been developed to educate riggers and companies about specify-ing and using rigging gear correctly and safely. It is divided into the following three segments:

GENERAL CAUTIONS AND WARNINGSAll ratings shown in this literature are based upon the item being new or in “as new” con-dition. Catalog ratings are considered to be the greatest load that should be applied tothe item; therefore, any shock loading must be considered when selecting the item foruse in a system.

Catalog ratings are based upon usual environmental conditions and consideration mustbe given to item selection when unusual conditions are to be encountered.

In general, the products displayed within this literature are used as a part of a systembeing employed to accomplish a task. Therefore, we can only recommend the utilizationof such products to accomplish the desired task, within their working load limit.

The products shown are subject to wear, misuse, overloading, corrosion, deformation,intentional alteration and other usage factors which may necessitate a reduction in theproduct’s Working Load Limit rating or a reduction in its Safety Factor.

Therefore, it is recommended that all products be regularly inspected to determine theircondition as a basis for deciding if the product may continue to be used at the catalogassigned WLL, a reduced WLL, a reduced safety factor, or removed from service.

The products shown are, in general, items intended to be used in a tension or pull man-ner, so, caution must be used so that the product is not subjected to a side loading thatwill cause an additional and unintended loading.

All hook latches shown are intended to retain loose slings or fittings under slack condi-tions. They are not intended to be antifouling devices, so, caution should be used to pre-vent the latch from supporting any of the load. Periodic inspection of latches must bemade tonsure their proper operating condition.

Welding of or to load supporting parts or products can be a source of a problem. It isnecessary to have knowledge of materials, heat treatment and welding proceduresbefore welding of any item is to be considered.We suggest consulting us for information,and proof testing if necessary.

FITTING MAINTENANCEAll fittings are subject to wear and disfigurement in the form of nicks and gouges, andshould be inspected periodically for these conditions.

Any detection of a crack or permanent deformation in a fitting (i.e., hook, shackle, link,etc.) is cause to remove the fitting from service and have it destroyed.

DEFINITIONSWORKING LOAD LIMIT — The maximum recommended load that should be exerted onthe item.The following terms are also used for the term Working Load Limit: “SWL”, “SafeWorking Load”, “Working Load”, “Rated Load”, and the “Resultant Safe Working Load”.All Working Load Limit values, unless noted otherwise, are for in-line pull with respect tothe centerline of the item.

PROOF LOAD — The average load to which an item may be subjected before visualpermanent deformation occurs or a load that is applied in the performance of a prooftest.

PROOF TEST — A term designating a tensile test applied to the item for the sole pur-pose of detecting injurious defects in the material or manufacture.

BREAKING STRENGTH — That total force (lbs. or kg.) at which the sling fails. The totalweight strain which can be applied before failure. In the USA, it is usually at five timesthe rated capacity; it is seven times rated capacity. Also known as Ultimate Load.

SHOCK LOAD — A resulting load from the rapid change of movement, such as impact-ing or jerking, of a static load. A Shock Load is generally significantly greater than thestatic load.

SAFETY FACTOR — An industry term denoting theoretical reserve capability. Usuallycomputed by dividing the catalog stated ultimate load by the catalog stated working loadlimit and generally expressed as a ratio, for example 5 to 1. Also called Design Factor.

ABRASION — The mechanical wearing of surface resulting from frictional contact withmaterials or objects.

COMPETENT PERSON — A person designated for inspection who is trained and qual-ified by knowledge and practical experience and who has the necessary instructions toenable the required test or examination to be carried out.

ELONGATION — The measurement of stretch, expressed as a percentage of the fin-ished length.

FITTING — A load bearing metal component which is fitted to the sling. Can be ofsteel, aluminum or other material that will sustain the rated capacity of the sling.

SYNTHETIC FIBER — Man-made material used for the cover, the core and the threadof the Twin-Path® sling products.

TELL-TAILS — Extensions of the load core yarns. When the sling is stretched beyondits elastic limit, they shrink and eventually disappear under the tag. Take out of service ifless than 1/2” is exposed.

THREAD — The synthetic yarn which is used to sew the sling cover and tag and to pro-vide the stitch which separates the individual load cores.

TWIN-PATH® — A patented and trademarked product which is composed of two sepa-rate load bearing cores and two separate seamless covers in a single sling.

All ratings given in tons refer to short tons of 2,000 lbs. unless otherwise noted.

There is always a safe way to lift every load. For any of your special lifting requirements,please contact your technical sales representative.

NOTE: The right is reserved to make changes in product design, material and specifi-cations without incurring obligations.
