How Many Lifting Straps Are Needed for Your Cargos?

Recently, clients have frequently asked how how many flat lifting straps are need for their cargos? Here today synthetic fiber slings manufacturer show you how to estimate the quantity of lifting slings for your cargos.

For example, if you need to use synthetic fiber slings to hoist 3 tons of cargo, it is recommended to choose 4-ton or 5-ton flat lifting slings or flexible slings. The length can be judged based on the size of the cargo and the distance to the hook above the crane. The length needed is more appropriate. Whether to use 1 strand or 2 or more strands depends on the length of the goods.

Actual Case Analysis:

In order to facilitate everyone's understanding, let's take a pipe of more than 3 tons as an example. Assume that the pipe is 3 meters long, has a diameter of about 1 meter, and is hollow. At this time, when we choose slings, we should consider the selection of slings based on the properties of the heavy objects. First of all, the weight is more than 3 tons. The rigging we choose should be greater than the actual cargo weight in order to avoid overloading. Also consider the lifting method as this will have an impact on the actual load. Because it does not mean that a 3-ton sling can only lift 3 tons. Please refer to the relevant load-bearing calculation formula: How many tons can a sling of different tonnage be lifted?

Then we calculate how many meters of lifting straps are needed based on the thickness of 1 meter in diameter and the hook eye of the lifting point and the distance from the heavy object. It is definitely not enough to use one pipe for a 3-meter-long pipe. At least two pipes are needed to achieve balanced and stable operation. A beam spreader can also be used above to balance the two lifting points.

Therefore, from the above cases, we can know that no matter how many tons of heavy objects are hoisted, we need to carefully consider several key factors: cargo weight, lifting method, and cargo size, so that we can choose the appropriate industrial lifting sling. Mastering this method will make it easier to formulate lifting plans for different heavy objects.
