As is well known, color is the international standard representing the rated load of colored lifting belts. However, with long-term use, lifting belts may become lighter in color. Can lifting belts continue to be used in this situation?
The main function of colored lifting straps is to provide safe lifting and handling, so the key factors are their strength and durability. If the strength and durability of the colored sling are not significantly affected, it may still be safe to use.
Colorful lifting straps are commonly used to identify and recognize specific items or lifting processes. If the color becomes lighter, making recognition difficult or unable to meet relevant safety standards, then considering replacing the lifting strap may be a wise choice.
Before continuing to use colored lifting straps, it is recommended to conduct a comprehensive inspection and testing. This may include checking for any signs of wear, tear, or other damage to ensure its structural integrity and meet lifting requirements.
In general, the key to evaluating the strength, durability, and recognizability of colored lifting belts is whether they can continue to be used when their colors become lighter. Continue using only after ensuring that there are no issues.
