Characteristics of the four-branch sling

The product is one of the popular types of rigging devices and is in great demand. The load-grabbing equipment from a link and four branches with hooks or other special grabs can be applied to work with weight to 30 tons. Due to the design features of the four-branch sling ("spider") can be used for transportation of fragile goods.

Products differ in carrying capacity, width of a tape, length of slings. Products are manufactured with both standard and individual characteristics for specific specific needs. Performance characteristics and technical features of the 4st four-branch sling are regulated by the standard.

Load grabbing devices are used in the following areas:

• at industrial enterprises;
• in transport sphere;
• in warehouses;
• in construction;
• for household needs.

Rigging equipment has the following advantages:

• The high load capacity of the four-branch sling allows it to be used for work with loads weighing from several to tens of tons. The possibilities of the tape when choosing can be determined by its color. The orange color of the sling means maximum load capacity.
• Four-branch textile slings, unlike other types of lifting products, make it possible to move brittle structures. Soft ribbon branches contribute to the safety of the cargo.
• Four-branch sling 4ST is resistant to moisture and the sun, is characterized by frost resistance. The operating temperature range of the product - from -40 to + 100 degrees Celsius.
• Textile slings are easy to operate, transport and store. You can not worry about the deformation and kinks of the equipment and compactly fold it. The light weight of the rigging device contributes to the comfort of its transportation.

Four-branch slings: GOST and examples of symbols

Cargo slings used for slinging in industry and construction must comply with the technical requirements of RD 24-SZK-01-01 (for General purpose lifting slings on a textile basis) or other generally accepted standards. The guidance document prescribes the purpose and scope of application, types and main parameters of products, test requirements and operating instructions, completeness.

Each sling is accompanied by a tag indicating the trademark, type, length, load capacity, the standard by which the sling structure was made.

The marking of the product may look like "Sling 4ST-2,5-3,0", where:

• 4ST-four-branch textile sling;
• 2.5-load capacity in tons;
• 3,0-the length of the tape in meters.

The load capacity of the product indicates the color of the sling: (IN 4ST this load-lifting grid does not work, since the load capacity of the branch is taken into account separately. It is suitable for 1ST, STP, STK)

• purple-1-2 tons;
• green-3-5 tons;
• yellow – 6 tons;
• gray – 8-10 tons;

• resistance to alkalis, acids and aggressive media;
• the ability to operate the product at temperatures from -40 to 100 degrees Celsius;
• resistance to absorption of grease, oil, fats;
• residual deformation of the material-not higher than 15% and others.
