Loop textile slings allow lifting and moving bulky goods without damage or damage. The main thing is that the package or the cargo itself should be equipped with a sling connecting element.
Scope of STP
Loop textile slings - an indispensable additional element that allows you to perform vertical hooking of cargo during loading and unloading operations with the goods. In this way, it is easy to move bulky cargo over a fairly large distance.
In addition to the main purpose, loop rafters are used for towing vehicles, in the construction industry, agriculture, the organization of logistics services through the arrangement of goods in warehouses.
What is STP?
Loop textile sling is made of synthetics in its majority. This is a composite material widely used in many fields of human activity. The highest technical characteristics are noted for loop slings made of textile materials with the inclusion of polyester, polyamide, polypropylene. Loop textile slings due to the innovative production formula have such enhanced characteristics:
- wear resistance;
- durability;
- softness and flexibility;
- lack of response to weather conditions;
- resistance to pollution.
The design of the looped sling looks like this: it is a long sealed textile tape with a loop at the base.
Types of loop slings
There are four main types of loop slings, the most widely used in various fields of human activity, namely:
- single-branch is used to move small loads and boxes with a short length;
- two-branch consists of two textile strips, which makes it possible to give the load additional fixation at the fulcrum, vertical torsion in this case is excluded;
- a three-branch textile sling loop is used to fix a long heavy load exclusively on a horizontal plane;
- four-branch sling - a separate subspecies of products used for transportation and movement of pipes, beams, lumber.
The advantages of textile slings
Loop textile slings are selected based on such quality characteristics:
- organization of safe sling due to the special design of the sling element;
- wide possibilities of slinging and selection of grip options;
- the flexibility and high strength of the slings due to the special composition of the material allow you to move the load, choosing the optimal sling scheme;
- long life of products.
Production standards
The components used to form the composition for the production of textile slings, logistics and production technologies are regulated by law. A special document contains special requirements and explanations of how a textile loop is made (STP). GOST regulates:
- production of STP should be performed in accordance with the design documentation;
- production of products is carried out by officially licensed enterprises;
- the length of the sling is calculated only with tension;
- stitching tapes is performed with a thread suitable for the product in tone;
- according to GOST, several types of loops are distinguished: flat, twisted, folded, and the latter are characterized by a special design in the form of a protective shell.
Slings - an indispensable element for the transport of goods. Without its presence, the work of large logistics companies will simply stop. Therefore, it is important that such products are always available and distinguished by quality.
