After using the lifting belt, it needs to be cleaned and stored in a dry and ventilated place. But some users do not pay attention to storage, causing the lifting belt to become damp. Can the damp lifting belt still be used again? Does it have an impact?
Damp lifting belts are prone to mold, and mold has a significant impact on the lifting belt. For example, if a synthetic fiber lifting belt is corroded by mold, its strength will change, losing its original strength, leading to a significant reduction in the safety of lifting operations.
Some people believe that if the lifting belt is only damp without mold, it is not a problem. In fact, the strength loss of the lifting belt in a humid environment can reach 15%, which has a significant impact on the lifting belt. So, if the lifting belt is accidentally damp, it needs to be air dried immediately, and do not continue to use it in damp conditions.
Regardless of the situation in which the lifting belt is used, it must be carefully inspected and confirmed that there are problems before it can be officially put into use, in order to avoid the occurrence of dangerous accidents.
