A lifting belt is mainly divided into two parts: the eye ring and the belt body. The eye ring is located at both ends, and the belt body is located in the middle. The eye ring is a ring-shaped structure on both sides, which is designed to connect the lifting belt with hooks or other lifting devices to ensure its safety. Recently, some netizens have raised the question of whether the eye of the lifting belt is stronger than the body of the belt?
The strength of the eye and body of the sling is mainly different from that of the sling produced by different manufacturers. Some manufacturers will thicken the eye part of the sling, such as Crown Airlines. Therefore, the strength of the eye part of this type of sling is indeed stronger than that of the body. However, there are also manufacturers who do not thicken it, so the strength of the eye part and body of this type of sling is comparable.
However, even ring eyes that have the same strength as the belt still have advantages in terms of wear resistance, because the ring eyes are directly connected to the lifting target and hook, and will continue to generate friction under strong loads. This requires the ring eyes to have stronger wear resistance than the belt to cope with this friction and ensure operational safety. Therefore, manufacturers generally carry out special treatment on the lifting belt ring eyes.
In summary, the strength of the eye part of the lifting belt may not be higher than that of the body part, but the wear resistance of the eye part must be better than that of the body part. This is the basic condition for ensuring the safety of lifting operations.
