Polyester slings produce suitable transport solutions in many sectors thanks to their safe transport feature and strong structure. For the slings to have a longer life, they must be checked by professionals for a maximum of three-month periods. However, maintenance may be required at shorter intervals in cases such as increased wear after intensive use and risk of damage. If a suspicious situation is observed during the controls, the polyester sling can be taken out of use.
To obtain a longer-lasting use in polyester slings, care should be taken to prevent surface abrasion, longitudinal and cross cuts, knitting leaks or knots. In order not to encounter such problems, some points should be considered.
