This will help determine the capacity and size of the sling required. Depending on the nature of the cargo to be lifted always consider they type of material the sling is made of, the type of sling configuration, working load limits, environmental factors and safety regulations.
Several factors should be considered when choosing the right crane rope. Firstly, the maximum working load and breaking strength of the rope should be compatible with the load and lifting capacity of the crane.
Proof testing involves subjecting the sling to loads that exceed its expected operational limits, allowing for the identification of potential defects or weaknesses. This process helps verify the quality of the wire rope sling and provides assurance that it can safely handle the intended workload.
