Understanding The Roles of Lifting Slings and Shackles in Transfer Activities
Literally speaking, lifting slings and shackles are very helpful tools that assist you to load a single type of non-palatalized cargo securely. Basically, a sling is made up of a rope or chain and a cross-strap to secure the cargo at both ends. The rope or chain is usually laced through the eye of the sling and the cross-strap is usually fastened around your waist. Thus, these are basically called as back-up lanyards. On the other hand, back-up chains and double-rope slings are used in lifting operations and are secured by fastening the chain at both ends to a specific point on the crane deck. As the name implies, double-ropes slings are used when the operations require the lifting of heavier loads than that of the single-ropes design. Meanwhile, pole and pike pole slings are used when the load is light enough that pole and pike pole designs can be used. Both designs are ideal for carrying cargo over narrow channels and bridges. However, when carrying heavy loads, single-ropes slings are used and pole and pike pole slings are used when the load is light enough. So in this article we will discuss some differences and similarities slings and shackles.
Similarities- When comparing lifting and handling capability, the similarity ends here. Both chain slings and handrails have a limited ability to carry cargo. This limitation is generally defined by the distance between the first point of attachment and the center of the device. However, the difference between the two devices lies in the manner in which they are used. While a chain sling is operated using hand and leg power, the shackles, on the other hand, use the engine power for lifting and lowering. It is observed that chain slings are used in applications where heavy loads are required whereas the recovery slings are used for carrying lighter loads.
