At present, three types of hoisting equipment are mainly used in hoisting operations: wire rope rigging, chain rigging, and hoisting belts. The popular length of hoisting belts is significantly higher, and the use of hoisting belts is determined by their characteristics. So, which types of hoisting occasions are more suitable for using hoisting belts?
① The soft surface and wide load-bearing surface of the lifting belt provide certain protection for the surface of the lifted object. So it is more suitable for lifting heavy objects that require high surface protection, such as yacht lifting, wind power lifting, and so on.
② The weight of the lifting belt is only 25% of that of the steel wire rope with the same working load. With this feature, the lifting belt is easy to carry and transport, and can be given priority in work that requires frequent connection and movement of lifting equipment.
③ The lifting belt has a completely non-conductive function because it is made of synthetic fiber material, which makes it more advantageous in power workplaces and flammable and explosive factory warehouses.
④ Some lifting straps made of certain materials have good corrosion resistance, such as polyester, which is acid resistant but not alkali resistant; Polyamide is resistant to alkali but not acid, which allows them to handle lifting operations in different corrosive environments.
These are the places that are more suitable for lifting operations with lifting belts. If you want to learn more about lifting belts, you can always follow us.
