 Sling
tagging and identification has long been a problem within the industry.
Either they were made designed for chain slings and then simply attached
to also other sling types, or they were skimpy and small, or stamped in
a way that users had a hard time reading the tag to begin with. Some companies
started to attach a paper or tyvac tag wrapped around the wire rope sling
body fastened with an office stapler. You can imagine how long such tags
lasted in service.
Unirope went through the expense to develop a sling tagging system which lasts.
The aluminum tags are made from super sturdy 1/8" thick aluminum plate;
in the case of our chain tags two of them are riveted together to form a 1/4"
thick sturdy tag with a pull-off strength exceeding 2000 lbs. All information
is deep
etched and/or deep impression stamped into the tag. For most chain- and wire
rope sizes the capacity information is already etched in with large legible numbers
so users can actually read the tag from about 6 ft away. That in itself is a
huge step forward in plant and construction site safety.
Same applies to our synthetic tags which are either made from natural/man made
leather or from a thick vinyl cloth sheet.
Remember: Sling Safety starts with that the user KNOWS and is able to IDENTIFY
the sling capacity. |

Synthetic slings do not lend themselves to be tagged with metal- or aluminum
tags. For these slings we have created a sturdy natural leather/man-made
leather/vinyl/tyvac tag combination:
• Twin-Path® Slings are tagged with natural a leather/red vinyl flag/tyvac
tag combination
• Uni-Web® Edge Tech Slings are tagged with a black/orange letter/tyvac
tag
combination.
Please note that these tags also bear LARGE scale characters and numbers which
can be read from at least a 5 ft distance. |

In addition we have developed a vinyl tag system. For the most popular
sling- and tie-down sizes sizes we have pre-printed tags with large legible
capacity information and important safety precautions.
The wire rope sling tags are spliced into the sling eye and can not 'ride'
onto the sling body; they will remain in the protected 'crotch' area
of the sling loop.

system:
•
