Cargo Sling Safety
Safe use of textile safety equipment
• All cargo slings should be inspected before use by a competent person
• Before using the cargo sling ensure that the rating is suitable for the intended
task
• The selected cargo sling should be both strong enough and of the correct length
for the mode of use
• Secure the load carefully, taking into account the size of the load and the height
being lifted
• Where two or more cargo slings are used to secure a load, they should be
identical, preferably from the same batch
• Cargo slings should be protected against friction, sharp edges or any surface
likely to cause damage
NOTE: Cargo slings should never be pulled from under loads.
• Never knot or twist a cargo sling beyond that of a choker lift
• Avoid snatch or shock loading as the WLL can easily be exceeded in such
circumstances
• Avoid contact with heat and hot surfaces
• Never trap a cargo sling under a load; crushing can seriously damage a cargo
sling
• Do not use slings to transport people or allow people to pass under a suspended
load
• On completion of the lifting operation, return the cargo sling to secure storage
• Prior to placing in storage, inspect the cargo sling for any damage which may
have occurred during use
• Cargo slings which have become wet in use or as a result of cleaning should be
hung up and allowed to dry naturally
• Cargo slings should be stored at room temperature in clean, dry, and well-
ventilated conditions
• Do not store or use cargo slings for extended periods in direct sunlight or
sources of UV radiation
• Never attempt to repair cargo slings; dispose of immediately if damaged or
visibly worn
• A cargo sling that has a missing or unreadable label and is unidentifiable should
be disposed of
• Checks should also include any fittings and lifting accessories used in
association with the cargo sling
• Heat or friction damage is indicated by the fibres taking on a glazed
appearance; in extreme cases, fusion of the fibres can occur. If this is visible the
cargo sling should be removed from service
• At very low temperatures, when moisture is present, ice can form within the
sling and there is a risk the ice will act as a cutting agent and damage the
sling fibres
All cargo slings should be part of a regular examination regime. Always follow
national regulations or guidelines on examination frequency and maximum allowed
working lifespan for slings. Examination frequency should be related to the sling
frequency of use.

Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your new tool. Familiarise yourself with all its
features and functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts
are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use
this tool
Before Use
WARNING: Ensure the tool is disconnected from the power supply before
attaching or changing any accessories, or making any adjustments.
Hoist installation
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to install this hoist single-handedly. Correct and
safe installation requires more than one person.
1. Locate a suitable installation position for the hoist
Note: The hoist is designed to be installed on a beam of at least 43mm in diameter
with a wall thickness of at least 3mm. Ensure the beam is capable of supporting
loads twice the maximum load capacity of the hoist.
2. Lift the hoist up to the beam and align the Mounting Brackets (4) with the
threaded holes on the top of the Motor Cover (5)
3. Fasten the Mounting Brackets to the Motor Cover securely, using the fixings
provided
Attaching the return pulley
1. To mount the Return Pulley (13), remove the bolts and pin clip holding the
Return Pulley Hook (14)
2. Feed the cable around the roller of the Return Pulley and attach the main Lifting
Hook (11) to the Hook Holder (12) on the Motor Cover (5)
3. Re-align the Return Pulley Hook (14) and replace the bolts and pin clip
NOTE: Ensure that the return pulley is correctly attached. When correctly attached
the hoist has a lifting capability of 250kg. Without the return pulley, its lifting
capacity is reduced to 125kg
