What "safety features" are paramount in the design and manufacturing of modern "Cable Rigging Tools"?
2025-07-21Safety is engineered into every "Cable Rigging Tool" we manufacture:
-
High Safety Factors: All tools are designed with a significant safety margin (e.g., 5:1 or higher) between their ultimate breaking strength and their rated working load limit (WLL).
-
Clear Markings: Every tool is permanently marked with its WLL, size, and manufacturer for easy identification and compliance.
-
Proof Testing: Many critical rigging tools undergo individual proof testing to a percentage of their WLL to verify their strength and integrity.
-
Material Traceability: Full traceability of raw materials ensures quality and consistency.
-
Anti-Corrosion Coatings: Galvanization, painting, or specialized finishes protect tools in harsh environments, preventing material degradation that could compromise strength.
-
Safety Latches on Hooks: Designed to prevent accidental disengagement of loads.
-
Conductor Protection Features: Smooth surfaces, non-metallic linings, or specific geometries to prevent damage to cables and conductors.
