💡 Do you know the difference between WLL, SWL, and MBL? When it comes to lifting, understanding the key terms isn't just important—it’s essential for safety and efficiency. Let’s break down three commonly used acronyms that every professional should know. Knowing these terms can help you make safer and more informed decisions when selecting and using lifting equipment. Safety first, always! 💪⚙️ #LiftingSafety #WorkplaceSafety #HeavyLifting #liftingequipment

Important update for wind and work at height community with interest and responsibility for personal fall protection systems. (PFPS). ⬅️ Highly relevant to: 👉 Manufacturers & System Designers 👉 Installer & Inspector 👉 Trainers (e.g. GWO) & other interested parties. Note the legal status of standards (e.g. BS) when decisions on ALARP/SFARP are being considered. Renewable Safety #windsafety #GWO #workatheight #fallprotection #fallfromheight

The "bitter end" of an anchor refers to the end of the anchor chain or rope that is attached to the vessel, opposite to the end connected to the anchor itself. Bitter End: - Marked with a distinctive tag or label - Typically secured to a cleat, bollard, or windlass - Serves as a reference point for chain or rope length - Critical for safe anchoring operations Importance: - Prevents loss of anchor or chain - Facilitates accurate chain or rope measurement - Ensures proper anchoring techniques - Enhances vessel safety and stability Best Practices: - Regularly inspect the bitter end for damage or wear - Secure the bitter end to a sturdy point - Use a reliable marking system - Monitor chain or rope tension Anchoring Terminology: - Anchor: The device dropped into the water - Chain or rope: Connects the anchor to the vessel - Bitter end: The end attached to the vessel - Anchor watch: Monitoring the vessel's position and anchor

‼️Update The manufacturer is reluctant to apply mode factors that exceed the Safe Working Load (SWL) indicated on the tags. We are currently trying to investigating the reasons for using these tags and will provide updates as more information becomes available. At this moment, even the manufacturer has reservations and would not exceed the SWL without further investigation. Original Post ------- All, I need some information regarding wire rope slings. I've spoken to a few people with conflicting information so looking to get to the answer. These endless wire rope slings are marked for straight lifts but not for basket lifts, yet they are being used in a basket formation. I remember reading many times that if a tag doesn’t explicitly state a configuration, it should not be used in that configuration. However, I’m struggling to find this information again. Does this apply to wire ropes normally, I've seen these on chains. The slings are sufficient for the lift, but it’s a tandem lift using two overhead cranes with a total capacity of 115 tons. I want to ensure that we would be insured in the event of an incident. Anyone have details on the requirement of the tags? Specifically, does it need to state the basket WLL (Working Load Limit) for basket ? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks to Kevin Bennison for your assistance on this today its appiciated.

🔧 Safety Alert: Check Your WLL / SWL Markings! 🔧 Today, we came across a significant issue with the Safe Working Load (SWL) marking on a 5-ton round sling. The tag incorrectly mentions the SWL for a straight lift as SWL x 5, which could lead to serious safety hazards if not addressed. 🚨 Key Points: - Straight Lift: Should be 5 tons, not SWL x 5. - Choker Lift: Correctly listed as 4 tons. - Basket Lift: Correctly listed as 10 tons. Ensuring the accuracy of SWL markings is crucial for the safety of our lifting operations. Always double-check and verify with the manufacturer if in doubt. #LiftingSafety #Rigging #SWL #WLL #SafetyFirst #Manufacturing #Engineering #ConstructionSafety #HeavyLifting #WorkplaceSafety Stay safe and vigilant!

Discover how a #Load Distributor can enhance your lifting operations with chain slings: #Uniform Weight Distribution: The load distributor guarantees that each of the four chain sling legs carries an equal load, optimizing efficiency and capacity. #Enhanced Load Capability: By fully utilizing all four legs, the load distributor boosts the working load limit (WLL) of the sling, allowing for a 40% increase compared to the standard three-leg loading assumption. #Enhanced Stability and Safety: It promotes better stability and safety during lifts by preventing uneven loading that could result in accidents or equipment breakdown. Whether you're hoisting heavy machinery or construction materials, a load distributor ensures a secure, effective operation that maximizes your equipment's potential. https://hubs.ly/Q02Jc9Sk0 #LiftingSolutions #SafetyFirst #EngineeringExcellence #HeavyLifting Picture credits : pewag polska Sp. z o.o.

Summary of the causes and treatment measures of crane reducer oil leakage It is common for various bridge cranes and gantry cranes to have reducer oil leakage during use. Reducers with serious oil leakage will not only lose a lot of lubricating oil, but also have adverse effects on the cleanliness and sanitation of the crane itself and the surrounding environment. The following is an analysis of the causes of crane reducer oil leakage and proposes conventional treatment measures. Causes of partial oil leakage of crane reducer: ⑴ Seal failure; ⑵ Box deformation; ⑶ Uneven split surface; ⑷ Loose connecting bolts. Treatment measures for crane reducer oil leakage: ⑴ Replace seals; ⑵ Inspect the split surface of the box, replace it if it is severely deformed; ⑶ Shovel the split surface; ⑷ Clean the return oil tank and tighten the bolts. To prevent oil leakage of crane reducers, regular inspections should be carried out.
