Red Core Yarns - warn of dangerous sling damage.
All Stropsl Web Slings shown in this section of the catalog
have this warning feature. When red yarns are visible,
the sling should be removed from service
immediately.
The red core yarns become exposed when
the sling surface is cut or worn through the woven face
yarns.
For other inspection criteria see Manufacturer
regulations on products data sheets.

Examples of Web Sling Abuse:
Most of the damage shown here would cause
immediate catastrophic failure of the sling. Not all of
the damage you will see will be this obvious or extreme,
but still requires removal from use.
