Lifting Tackle FAQ
Q: What is the recommended inspection interval for lifting tackle?
A: All lifting tackle should undergo thorough inspection every 6 months under normal operating conditions, or more frequently in harsh environments. Daily visual inspections are mandatory, with detailed documented inspections performed quarterly by competent personnel.
Q: Can lifting tackle be used in all temperature conditions?
A: Standard lifting tackle is rated for -20°C to 200°C operation. For extreme temperatures (-40°C to 400°C), special high-temperature or cryogenic variants are available with modified material properties and lubrication systems.
Q: How do I calculate the required working load limit for my lifting tackle?
A: The WLL should be determined by taking the maximum anticipated load weight and multiplying by a minimum safety factor of 5 (for general industry). Consider dynamic factors, shock loading, and environmental conditions which may require higher safety factors up to 8:1.
