Sling Protection
CUT AND WEAR PROTECTION
Selection of Sling Protection Products
Sling protection products need to be used in applications where sling
damage may occur. Cutting of synthetic slings during use is the number
one cause of sling accidents. A variety of factors influence sling
protection performance. Since no material is fully cut proof, a qualified
person must select materials and methods that adequately protect
slings from edges or surfaces. We can assist customers with their
product selections.
Cut Protection versus Wear Protection
Our sling protection products are divided into two categories, Cut Protection and Wear Protection. Cut Protection
Products are designed to improve workplace safety. When placed between slings and edges, cut protection products
act as a buffer to prevent sling cutting and to reduce bearing pressure levels at contact areas. Wear protection
products serve to extend sling life by reducing abrasive wear and prevent marring of the load surfaces.
The following table provides comparative sling protection performance for standard products.
Performance Rating: The bar graphs shown above reflect the comparative performance of Our Cut Protection
products against commonly used loose and sewn-on types of Wear Protection products.
Test Lift Qualification: To validate the suitability of sling protection products for each application, always
complete one or more test lifts in a non-consequence manner.
Technical Bulletin MS-10 available for additional information.
EFFECT OF SLING ANGLE
Using slings at an angle can become deadly if that angle is not taken into consideration when selecting the sling to
be used. The tension on each leg of the sling is increased as the angle of lift, from horizontal, decreases. It is most
desirable for a sling to have a larger angle of lift, approaching 90°. Lifts with angles of less than 30° from horizontal
are not recommended. If you can measure the angle of lift or the length and height of the sling as rigged, you can
determine the properly rated sling for your lift. The Increased Tension method provides the increased tension as a
function of the sling angle. Alternatively, the sling Reduced Capacity method may be used to determine reduced lift
capacity for any angle.
INCREASED TENSION
Determine capacity
of sling needed

REDUCED CAPACITY
Calculate rating of each sling
rigged at this angle
1. Determine the load weight (LW). 1. Calculate the reduction factor (RF).
a. Using the angle from horizontal,
read across the Angle Chart to
the corresponding number of the
Reduction Factor column.
2. Calculate the Tension Factor [TF].
a. Determine the sling angle as mea-
sured from the horizontal, and the
corresponding tension factor (TF)
from the effect of angle chart.
-OR-
b. Divide sling height* (H) by sling
length* (L).
-OR-
b. Length* (L) divided by height*
(H)
2. Reduction factor (RF) x the sling’s
rated capacity for the type hitch that
will be used = sling’s reduced rating.
3. Determine the share of the load
applied to each sling leg (LW).
4. Multiply (LW) by (TF) to determine
the sling leg tension. The capacity of
the selected sling or sling leg must
meet the calculated tension value.		 *Measured from a common horizontal
plane to the hoisting hook.

Example:
Vertical Choker rating of each sling:
6,000 lbs.
Measured Length (L) = 6 ft.
Measured Height (H) = 4 ft.
Reduction Factor (RF) = 4 (H) ÷ 6 (L) = .667
Example:
Load weight = 1,000 lbs.
Rigging - 2 slings in vertical hitch
Lifting Weight (LW) per sling = 500 lbs.
Measured Length (L) = 10 ft.
Measured Height (H) = 5 ft.
Tension Factor (TF) = 10 (L) ÷ 5 (H) = 2.0
Minimum Vertical Rated Capacity required
for this lift = 500 (LW) x 2.0 (TF) = 1000 lbs.
per sling
Sling capacity decreases as the angle
from horizontal decreases. Sling angles
of less than 30° are not recommended.
Reduced sling rating in this configuration
= .667
(RF) x 6,000 lbs. = 4,000 lbs. of lifting
capacity per sling
