The straps are tailor-made, depending on the imperatives of each use.
 The selected strap has to have a sufficient length and strength in order to lift the load
 The straps which are applying to the EN 1492 standard are used within the following
temperatures: -40°C to +80°C for polypropylene and -40°C to +100°C for polyester and
polyamide. In this case you have to ask the supplier or manufacturer. The polyurethane
coated straps can be used with a maximum temperature of +70°C
 Consult us if the straps are to be used in contact with chemical products
 Check before use if the straps are not damaged and that their identification is correct
 Do not overload the straps
 It is necessary that the straps are placed on the load, so that the latter is uniformly
distributed on their width
 Never use knotted or tangled up straps
 Position correctly the face of the strap in contact on the pulley. This one has to be
chosen according to the load to be turned.
 Very important: never place the sewings on the hooks or other lifting device as well as
under the load. Always make sure that the sewing is placed in the (almost) vertical part
of the strap. Avoid the damage of the labels by watching that they are not in contact
with the load
 Only use the straps for lifting and turning load with your load's turner.
 Protect the straps from sharp edges and risks of friction or abrasion. An edge is
considered being "sharp" if the radius is less than the thickness of the strap. In this
case, use protections on the edges

tear away or to remove by friction.
 Any strap that has been in contact with acids or alkalis must be rinsed out with water. If
necessary, contact the manufacturer in order to know the appropriate cleaning process
 Do not apply degreasing products on the straps' polyurethane (deterioration risks).
 When needed, use white vinegar to degrease the straps
 The straps cannot be used when there is oil or water on the polyurethane. If so, the
straps have to be dried in the open air, with no contact to heating sources
