Lifting safety factors differ by industry and equipment type... its all down to the load type expected (ie static or dynamic) _________________ Isuzu Rodeo Denver Max LE | 265/65R18 BF Goodrich AT LTM No.60

An interesting article if this kinda thing floats your boat...
http://www.hoistmagazine.com/storyprint.asp?sc=2044499
But, specifically
Quote: |
Nylon web slings continuously exposed to sources of UV light can lose 40 to 60% after exposure periods ranging from 12 to 36 months. Polyester web slings lose at a greater rate, initially (30% in the first 12 months), but interestingly, the loss seems to subside and level off after the initial 12 month period. |
and
Quote: |
When a nylon sling is wet, the resulting loss of strength is approximately 15%. When the nylon sling returns to a dry state, the strength is normalised to the initial value. |
That 4 tonne strop in the back of the truck which is a couple of years old trying to pull another truck out of a lake is only 1/4 as strong as it's original specification - that's a tonne. _________________ For great insurance deals on 4x4s, imports and more, contact Adrian Flux :
