Attention: Too strong a lateral enclosure (pinching) decreases
round slings' load capacity.
3.4 Arranging the load
Place the lifting strap on the load in such a way that it cannot slide on the load
or even off the load during the lifting process. Make sure the lifting strap does
not twist or intersect with the load. Use adequate edge protection
and/or sharp-edged loads. Make sure that the part of the load to be fastened
to the lifting strap can take the force introduced during lifting.
4 Inspection, maintenance, repair and end of use
round slings/round sling hangers must be checked for defects before each
use. If you detect defects, the round slings/round sling hangers must be
set aside. An authorized person must perform the check according to the
employer's specified inspection interval, but at least once per year. Depen-
ding on the usage and operational conditions, interim inspections may also
be necessary. The inspections must be documented according to BGR 500.
Additionally, all metallic fittings must undergo crack inspection at least once
every three years. The inspection must be done according to EN 10228 Part
1 (Magnetic powder testing - "fluxes") or Part 2 (Penetration Test).
