SlingMax Rigging Products

The ✔Fast™ System is designed to improve jobsite safety. The ✔Fast™ Tag and External Warning Indicator (EWI) on a roundsling product provides for a pass/fail inspection of the internal load bearing core yarn. Damage to the core yarn from fiber on fiber abrasion, fatigue, and severe overload can be detected. If the sling is mistakenly overloaded beyond rated capacity, the EWI is designed to disappear before the sling fails. If the sling cover is intact and the ✔Fast™ Tag and EWI are visible, the sling may be used for another lift. This safety system is available for polyester or High Performance K-Spec® Fiber Roundslings fabricated by authorized SLINGMAX® Dealers.
 
Checkfast Inspection System

Read the information on the sling tag to identify the rated capacity for the hitch to be used, the type of cover and core, the manufacturers’ name, and the warnings and instructions on the tag. Be sure the information complies with existing standards.

THEN:

  1. Inspect the circumference of the roundsling for holes, tears and other damage to the outer cover. If damage is discovered, take the sling out of service and send it back to your dealer for evaluation. Do not use the sling.

  2. Visually inspect the External Warning Indicator and the ✔Fast™ Tag. If both extend past the cover the inspection is complete.

  3. If the EWI is missing, the result of internal failure, the ✔Fast™ Tag will pull easily from the sling. If the EWI is missing because it was pushed inside the cover or cut-off, the ✔Fast™ Tag will be secure when pulled by the inspector.
