There is an advantage to using lifting straps for lifting operations, as the straps themselves are made of synthetic fiber material, which is relatively soft in texture. They can provide good protection for the target during lifting without causing pressure marks, scratches, or other issues. They are more suitable for some easily damaged and fragile targets, whereas metal rigging does not have this feature.
There is also a disadvantage to using lifting belts for lifting operations, which is opposite to the advantages. It is precisely because lifting belts themselves are made of non-metallic materials that their wear resistance is not as good as metallic materials. If the surface of the lifting target is rough or has sharp edges, the lifting belt is easily cut and damaged.
So the question is, what kind of hoisting equipment should be chosen if the lifting target is glass, which is easily damaged, fragile, and has sharp edges? The answer given by Guanhang is lifting straps, and protecting glass is the primary purpose, so lifting straps must be chosen. So how can we prevent glass from cutting lifting straps? In fact, the handling method is relatively simple.
We only need to install protective covers at the contact points between the lifting belt and the sharp edges of the glass to effectively prevent the glass from cutting the lifting belt and avoid damage to the lifting belt.
