Lifting devices made from man-made or natural fibres for load handling.

Synthetic materials like nylon, polyester, and polypropylene used for slings.

Natural materials such as manila, sisal, and hemp used for slings, less common now.

High Modulus Polyethylene slings known for high abrasion and cut resistance.

Soft slings ideal for supporting loads, offering rigidity and load spread.

A lifting sling with a core for load bearing, covered by a protective sleeve.

The part of the roundsling that supports the weight being lifted.

The outer layer of a roundsling that protects the load-bearing core.

Traditional textile slings made from cut lengths of rope that are hand spliced.

Endless soft textile slings that are pliable and gentle on delicate surfaces.

Fibre rope slings are bulkier and less pliable, presenting a hard point of contact.

Fibre rope slings are made by hand splicing eyes at ends or forming endless loops.

Slings that consist of multiple legs, typically with a master link at one end.

Protective devices used in multi-leg slings to safeguard the eyes from wear.

The method by which a load is applied to a sling, affecting the splicing technique.

Visually, different rope fibres look similar, complicating their identification.

Common lifting accessories connecting loads to lifting appliances and slings.

Three main types: Bow, Dee, and Grab shackles.

Shackles with internal clearances for general engineering purposes.

A shackle with ample internal clearances for general engineering.

A shackle with moderate clearances, higher SWL than large dee.

Shackles are forged from various grades of steel, impacting their strength.

Shackles are usually sized by their Working Load Limit (WLL) in current standards.

Old standards specified all dimensions; new ones specify only some.

A tubular device with right and left-hand threads for connecting terminal fittings.

An open body device with right and left-hand threads, also connecting terminal fittings.

Components such as screwed eyes, hooks, or forks used with rigging screws and turnbuckles.

A drilled hole in rigging screws allowing for checking thread engagement.

Threads that screw in opposite directions to secure connections.

A bolt with a hexagon-shaped head used for secure connections.

A pin used to secure components in place to prevent unintentional loosening.

Main types include Eyebolt with link, Collared, and Dynamo eyebolts.

An eyebolt designed for loading at an angle and allowing movement with a link attached.

Safe Working Load, the maximum load that equipment can safely handle.

An eyebolt designed for both axial and angular loading with blended eye and collar.

The direction in which a load is applied, significant for eyebolts with links.

The ability of the eyebolt to adapt and align load directions through its link.

The maximum load that a shackle or eyebolt can safely lift.

An eyebolt for axial lifting only, has a ring on top of the shank.

Measurements of the diameter of eyebolts or shackles, indicated in mm or inches.

When a load is applied at an angle to the axis of an eyebolt, reducing SWL.

When using eyebolts in pairs, they must not incline >5° from each other.

Different thread sizing and SWL ranges based on metric or imperial standards.

Thin pieces used to align eyebolts by adjusting their angles.
