Most Frequently Asked Questions About Slings and Ropes
Lifting at the wrong angle, exceeding capacity, tying knots, and not using protection on sharp surfaces can lead to the breaking of the sling and cause workplace accidents.

Hot water and mild detergent can be used for cleaning. High-pressure washing, chemical solvents, and abrasive substances should not be used.
What is the difference between EN 1492-1 and EN 1492-2?
-
EN 1492-1 covers single-ply or double-ply polyester woven slings.
-
EN 1492-2 covers endless (round-type) polyester slings.
Both standards specify the safety factor, testing methods, and labeling rules.
-
Protective sleeves or edge protection must always be used on sharp corners.
-
The WLL value must not be exceeded.
-
Slings must not be knotted or twisted.
-
Slings with unreadable label information must not be used.
-
Chemical contact, excessive heat, and friction must be monitored.
Yes. Slings produced in accordance with EN 1492 standards are products with defined WLL (Working Load Limit) values, tested and certified. Visual inspection before each use is an important part of safety.
admin2025-12-03T13:53:54+03:00
Yes. Custom labeling, coding, and capacity marking can be done.

Polyester is highly resistant to water and moisture. However, some strong chemicals (e.g., strong alkalis) can damage the fiber structure. Appropriate material selection must be made before use in a chemical environment.

Depending on factors such as frequency of use, environmental conditions, lifting angle, and proper storage, it ranges between 3 and 7 years. Regular inspection and the use of protective sleeves increase the service life.
admin2025-12-03T13:52:23+03:00
No. Repairing damaged slings is not suitable for safety reasons and they must be replaced with new ones.
admin2025-12-03T13:51:56+03:00
The working angle directly affects the load capacity. The safest use is between 0°–45°. As the angles increase, the load capacity decreases, so the values in the load table must be followed. Incorrect angle selection poses a serious risk.

In polyester slings, colors indicate the capacity, WLL value, and standard load range.
General European color code:
-
Purple → 1 Ton
-
Green → 2 Tons
-
Yellow → 3 Tons
-
Gray → 4 Tons
-
Red → 5 Tons
-
Brown → 6 Tons
-
Blue → 8 Tons
-
Orange → 10 Tons and above
This color system helps users quickly identify the capacity.

Lashing products are manufactured according to the EN 12195 standard for load safety. This standard clearly defines the tensioning capacity, safety factor, and testing processes. In addition, manufacturers regularly test the products at TÜV or similar independent organizations. This ensures that loads are securely fastened during transportation.
admin2024-05-07T19:46:24+03:00
Polyester slings are lightweight, flexible, and do not damage the load surface. They are also resistant to moisture and many chemicals. Therefore, they are safely preferred in shipyard, construction, steel structure, and logistics sectors. Capacity selection is also very easy thanks to the color codes.
admin2024-05-07T19:44:43+03:00
Round slings have a more flexible structure; woven slings, on the other hand, offer advantages on different loads due to their wide surface contact.
admin2024-05-07T19:41:30+03:00
They are preferred in export, one-way shipments, and logistics operations that require secure load fastening.
