Nominal load capacity: what are the most suitable lifting straps?

If you are involved in reselling lifting straps, you know that customer requirements go far beyond the nominal load capacity.

After all, the best products are not only those that allow you to lift large amounts of weight, but they are also those that add more safety and convenience to their users’ operations.

Therefore, to ensure consumer satisfaction, it is important to guide them to the most recommended straps for each work type and also on the main cares so that the equipment is risk-free and has maximum durability.

With this in mind, we prepared this content with some important recommendations on the nominal load capacity, what to prioritize when choosing the lifting straps and the exclusive differentials offered by Robustec in the area.

Take a look at these safety tips on the rated load capacity of tapes.

When we talk about nominal load capacity, we refer to the maximum weight that the equipment can support at a certain height and load center.

In this sense, for the lifting straps to be used safely and have greater durability, it is essential to follow all the guidelines provided by the manufacturer.

In addition, some cares should also be observed, such as:

• Never knot or twist the straps, as this can reduce the nominal load capacity by more than half;
• Do not amend the straps. Always use shackles or connectors;
• The load must always be evenly distributed;
• Before lifting the load completely, it is first necessary to lift it a few centimeters from the ground, to ensure that the fixation is secure and that the tension on the belt is correct;
• When using hooks, it should never be done from the tip. The strap should be supported in its center.

With these well-defined precautions, the rated nominal load capacity will be respected and users will have no trouble using the strap.

However, as we mentioned in the introduction, this is not the only point to consider when buying a good equipment. Next, find out what are the main differentials present in the best lifting straps.
