Slings For Offshore Installations Require Regular Maintenance And Inspection

Slings for offshore installations require regular maintenance and inspection

Modern hoisting and hoisting technology started relatively late in China. After years of exploration and research by technicians, it has now fully developed. The connecting structure between the crane or the body of the lifting object and the object to be hoisted is collectively referred to as a sling, and the rigid or flexible connection tool between the lifting tool and the object to be hoisted is also called a sling.

Metal slings and webbing slings are the two main categories of slings. The classification of metal slings includes chain slings, shackles, wire rope slings, magnetic slings, hooks, and lifting clamp. The slings made of high-molecular fiber materials generally refer to slings made of polyester nets, nylon, polypropylene, and other materials. The slings for offshore installations are used as the core tool in offshore lifting operations and are used on lifting equipment.

Wire rope slings are general-purpose slings. During the operation of offshore facilities, wire rope slings are used to lift platform personnel, living supplies, engineering materials, and engineering equipment to offshore facilities. Under marine conditions, slings are often affected by unfavorable factors such as rain, sun exposure, and marine weather corrosion. They must be regularly and effectively maintained and inspected to maintain their safety and reliability in daily use.
