In industrial lifting, construction, logistics, and equipment installation, lifting slings are one of the most widely used rigging products. Thanks to their light weight, flexibility, and ability to protect load surfaces, textile slings have become an essential solution for safe and efficient lifting. However, improper selection or misuse can lead to serious safety risks.

At offshore wind turbine installation sites, next to the mooring systems of deep-water drilling platforms, and on the decks of subsea pipeline laying vessels, rigging hardware consistently plays a crucial role as a "force transmitter." These seemingly insignificant "steel components" must withstand the immense pressure of hundreds of tons of equipment while resisting the corrosion of seawater and salt spray, and the repeated impact of wind and waves. Post-accident analyses of many offshore engineering incidents reveal that problems often stem from incorrect rigging hardware selection or inadequate protection.

In warehousing and logistics, construction, and machinery manufacturing, rigging serves as the "bridge" connecting lifting equipment and heavy objects, and its safety directly impacts personnel and property safety. However, in actual operations, many people's understanding of rigging remains at the level of "as long as it can lift," neglecting details in key aspects such as selection, operation, and maintenance.

In the "lifeline" of lifting and hoisting operations, rigging plays an irreplaceable role. It is the core hub connecting heavy objects and equipment, and a crucial barrier protecting personnel safety and project progress. However, according to a report from the State Administration for Market Regulation, improper operation or use of rigging was one of the main causes of crane machinery accidents from 2018 to 2020. From material handling in workshops to the construction of mega-projects, the selection, use, and maintenance of rigging cannot tolerate any negligence.
