    Study Notes

    Textile Slings

    • Fibre slings can be made from man-made fibres (e.g., polyamide, polyester, polypropylene) and some natural fibres (e.g., manila, sisal, hemp). Rarely found in modern use.
    • Specialist man-made fibres like HMPE (High Modulus Polyethylene) are used for specialized lifting slings.
    • These fibres have different reactions to temperature, chemicals, and the environment.
    • Textile slings come in various forms: flat woven webbing, round slings, fibre rope slings.

    Types of Textile Slings

    • Flat woven webbing slings: Often called belt slings, they are good for handling loads where support is needed, spreading the load across the width. They are less robust than rope/chain slings.

    • Roundslings: Core enclosed in protective cover. The core is the load-bearing part made from strands of fibre. The cover protects the core. Less robust than rope/chain slings.

    • Fibre rope slings: Traditional form of textile sling, though newer forms (like flat woven webbing) are more common. Still used in some industries. Produced from cut lengths of rope and hand-spliced, may be produced by the user in some cases.

    Identification

    • Visually identifying fibres can be difficult as they look similar.
    • An international colour-coded labelling system is used for marking slings.

    Shackles

    • Shackles are common lifting accessories used in various applications.
    • Three main types are bow, dee, and grab shackles, made from different types of steel.
    • Older standards specified all dimensions, while current standards specify some dimensions with others as maximum/minimum values.
    • Shackles are sized by material/diameter (older) or WLL (working load limit / newer).
    • Dee Shackles: Large dee (general engineering purposes) and small dee (higher SWL for similar size, suitable for hooks, eyebolts, etc).
    • Bow Shackles: Large bow (general engineering purposes) and small bow (higher SWL for similar size, suitable for hooks, eyebolts, etc).
    • Grab Shackles: Dee shackle, designed for grabs (circular apertures).

    Pins

    • Pins (screw pins and bolt, nut and cotter) are used for joining the shackles.
    • Screw pins are suitable for various uses but can loosen with movement/vibration.
    • Bolt, nut and cotter pins provide positive connection, suitable for applications where consistent connection is needed.

    Eyebolts

    • Often used with lifting gear.
    • Common types: eyebolt with link, collared, dynamo.
    • Can be used at angles to the axis. Safe working capacity (SWL) rated for direction & thread size.
    • Limitations exist, correct use and potential for misuse should be considered.

    Rigging Screws and Turnbuckles

    • Used for tensioning and adjustment, are often used in chains, wire rope, or textile-element-based lifting assemblies.
    • Rigging Screws: Tubular body with internal right-hand and left-hand threads at the ends.
    • Turnbuckles: Open body with threaded bosses (right/left hand threads). Drilled inspection holes. For use in specific applications.
