Polyester slings, which are among the safe and long-lasting lifting and transporting equipment, have flexing differences according to chemical temperature and usage patterns. Depending on their use and condition, the service life of polyester slings varies, offering longer or shorter use. Webbing sling, which is one of the slings produced with different features, can be used effectively for single use or up to 5 years depending on the type.

However, periodic maintenance of the slings should be carried out every 3 months and 12 months depending on the intensity of use. Periodic inspection periods for polyester slings should be performed every 12 months in normal services and every 3 months in heavy services.
The slings used in special services are subjected to controls and tests as prescribed by experts. Thanks to these inspections, it is ensured that there is no part failure in the slings. In any case, when a possible wear point is detected, the Webbing sling should be replaced immediately to prevent work accidents. Disposable Webbing slings are a type of sling suitable for single and short-term use.
