General description
The appliance consists of four 5/16in. diameter steel-wire ropes attached to a
common lifting ring of 2.5in. internal diameter. Each leg of the sling
terminates in a lifting key. The keys are made right-hand and left-hand, two
keys of each hand being employed on the sling. Each key incorporates a safety
device which ensures that there is no possibility of its being accidentally
twisted out of a keyhole during slinging operations.
Where frames and covers are stacked without dunnage, care must be taken to
ensure that a second cover is not adhering to the bottom of the cover being
lifted.
