Factors to Consider When Selecting Industrial Chain Slings

For various reasons, chain slings are without a doubt the most often used slings. This adaptable sling style is utilized in several different industries, including the transportation, marine, industrial, and construction sectors. When lifting difficult or large objects on construction sites, such as skip bins, concrete slabs, pipes, dense materials, prefabricated buildings, and much more, chain slings are frequently utilized because of their extreme durability and versatility. Listed below are a few factors to consider when selecting industrial chain slings. Durability Chain slings are preferred for difficult work due to their dependability and effectiveness in harsh conditions. They are the best option for environments that experience extreme temperature conditions because they can withstand temperatures of up to 500 degrees Celsius (approximately). These environments include metal fabrication shops, steel factories, heavy machinery manufacturing, and transportation facilities...

Wire Rope Splicing – All You Need to Know

  Multiple strands of wire are twisted and braided together to make a spiral design, or helix, in wire rope. Because the individual wires equalize pressure and have higher flexibility than the individual strands, they create a single wire with better strength after they are molded into a solid form. To increase the strength of wire ropes, they are combined and coiled together to form cables, which increases their use as support, lifting capability, and structural stability. Wire rope splicing is the process of tying a knot between two segments of the same rope or two different ropes by separating and unraveling the strands and intertwining the threads to make a strong connection. Splicing creates a strong knot that remains firm even when exposed to water. Splicing allows you to make a new rope of any length, modify an old rope for a new use, or repair a broken wire rope. Following are the different types of wire splicing methods: Back/End Splicing - This is a method of splicing in ...

Different types of wire rope slings

  Wire rope slings are used for years, and are more robust and durable than nylon slings, with higher temperature limits. Wire cable lifting slings used by the crane, rigging and material handling industries are available in many different styles and constructions. Single Part Wire Rope Sling The eye for a single part wire rope sling is formed by looping wire ropes back on to the ropes. The end of the rope is attached via a clamp, or woven by hand, mechanically into the rope body. Single part wire rope slings utilize single wire ropes to produce the sling. Braided Wire Rope Sling A braided wire rope sling is made from braiding wire ropes to form a sling. The increased number of strands enhanced sling strength, and load capacity. The braiding for braided wire rope sling can be executed with three to nine wire ropes. Cable Laid Wire Rope Sling Cable laid wire rope slings are made from combining many smaller wire ropes to form flexible, easy to handle and kink-r...

Why are webbing slings so adaptable for lifting and lowering activities?

  Among the material handling equipment, webbing slings have done a great deal to change the industry. It has become one of the most widely used and versatile pieces of equipment that the world benefits from.  As a leading webbing slings manufacturer, Saudi Dutest designs these pieces of equipment to carry heavy loads in construction and for towing and pulling tasks in other industries.  Let us discover some features that make webbing slings such a flexible piece of equipment in the lifting industry. Lightweight and flexible  Webbing slings are often structured as long, flat straps. They can be woven from several materials but the most common of these is polyester. At either end of the sling they feature a looped eye hole. The nature of this material that they are manufactured from makes them extremely light and flexible in nature. This also makes them easy to wrap around objects or loads which may have an odd shape.  Multiple lengths and width One reason that w...

Different Types of Lifting Clamps

  Lifting clamps meet the needs of lifting and transporting with tools that are used to hoist or transfer materials vertically or horizontally from location to location. They prevent the need of buying new machinery for a specific purpose on a construction job and are designed for side load applications too with special types of clamps. Saudi Dutest provides wide range of lifting gear in Saudi Arabia to help you select the best lifting clamp for your specific job. Let us look into a list of the various types of clamps available.  Hand clamps: These tools can be operated manually and are used for several manufacturing operations like bookbinding, picture framing, door making and laboratory glassware. Their main features consist of intended application, clamp type, and grip range and are available in different specifications and styles like bar, parallel and toggle. Beam clamps: These clamps are used to remove heavy loads and are applicable in industries that require lifting ...

Understanding the importance of shackles in the lifting equipment

  Shackles as popular lifting equipment can carry very heavy loads. They are designed with a body and a pin. The body takes the maximum load and the pin holds together the two legs of the body to prevent them from bending. The capacity for comparatively heavier loads makes Shackles preferred lifting equipment. The type of pin used in shackles can differ as per the use of the shackles. Pins can be bolted or screwed on the shackles.  Shackles are small in size but a very important lifting equipment. It needs to be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure that it is in proper shape. After every use, it is important to check it for any possible damage like corrosion, abrasions or bending. In case even one of these is seen, it should first be inspected by an expert. Then it should be decided immediately if a repair will suffice or replacement is required.  It should never be loaded with more than the allowed capacity. The user needs to ensure that the right pin is being us...

Understanding Chain Blocks in Saudi Arabia

  Chain blocks or chain hoists as they are also known are fabricated with the latest technology and are available in different configurations. They can be used in different working environments and are used popularly for a variety of operations. Chain blocks are manually operated.  The Chain Block manufacturer develop chain blocks from durable and high-grade steel. Good quality material ensures safety and durability of chain blocks. They can be developed in different designs and capacities. That way they can be used in different operations. Basically, chain hoists lift loads with a chain.  Chain hoists can be used for applications when there is a gap between different uses. Manual chain blocks cannot be used for pulling applications. They can only be used for lifting and lowering loads. Chain blocks find primary use in garages to remove engines from cars. They are easy to operate and one person can manage them properly. The construction industry also uses chain blocks as...
