Heavy loads
If heavy loads are to be lifted successfully, the right equipment must be used. One of those pieces of equipment often utilized to lift these types of loads is the chain sling. These slings can be used in various industrial and construction applications. These slings are flexible, temperature resistant, and strong enough to handle a wide array of loading conditions.
Hence Chain Slings are used for Lifting Heavy Loads
Light loads where chain may damage the loads
Wire rope is often used in slings because of its strength, durability, abrasion resistance and ability to conform to the shape of the loads on which it is used. In addition, wire rope slings are able to lift hot materials.
Rope slings are used for lifting light loads light loads where chain may damage the loads.
Check that the sling is not bearing on any sharp edge
Three legs
A tripod is a device, which consists of three legs.
Overhead crane
Overhead crane is used for lifting loads and transport to another location
An overhead crane, commonly called a bridge crane, is a type of crane found in industrial environments. An overhead crane consists of parallel runways with a traveling bridge spanning the gap. A hoist, the lifting component of a crane, travels along the bridge. If the bridge is rigidly supported on two or more legs running on a fixed rail at ground level, the crane is called a gantry crane or a goliath crane.
