Lifting belt and wire rope are generally used with heavy lifting operations, both of which are widely used in ships, machinery, mines, ports, transportation and other fields. But in addition to the similarities there are some differences between them so let's take a look at them.
From the perspective of production material and structure, lifting belt is generally made of high strength polyester filament woven, also known as synthetic fiber lifting belt, with high strength, wear resistance, oxidation resistance, uv resistance and other multiple advantages, there are many kinds, can choose different specifications according to the use of occasions and needs.Wire rope is made of steel wire, which is twisted into a strand by multiple layers of steel wire, and then twisted into a spiral rope with a certain number of steel wire as the core. Wire rope has high strength, light weight, stable work, not easy to suddenly break the whole root, reliable work.
In terms of application, compared with the hardness of wire rope, the lifting belt has a softer texture, which is suitable for lifting some soft fittings, sculptures and other items that are easy to be worn or strangled. Because it is woven by insulating material, it does not conduct electricity, friction will not appear Mars, in some flammable and explosive environment when lifting heavy objects is very popular, can effectively avoid safety accidents. But when lifting objects with sharp edges and corners, the wire rope comes in handy. When the lifting object has sharp edges, these sharp edges will bring destructive cuts to the lifting belt, and the wire rope is made of metal and will not be cut.
Do you know the difference between the two from the above analysis? Lifting belt has the excellent characteristics of light weight, high strength and not easy to damage the surface of lifting objects. It is more and more popular to gradually replace steel wire rope, but in some cases, steel wire rope is more suitable, so it is necessary to choose the right tool according to the use requirements.
