FAQ about SYSTEM-CARD® slinger training

What is the difference between lifting gear and load handling equipment?

Lifting gearconnect theLoad with the load handling device– e.g. ropes, chains or lifting straps.

Load handling equipmentare devices with which the loadpicked up by crane or hoist– e.g. forks, crossbeams or magnets.

In short:Connecting lifting gear,Carry load-carrying equipment.

Is an eyebolt a load-bearing device?

No, an eyebolt isno load-carrying device, but aLoad attachment point.

It serves toTo securely attach a sling chain or lifting strap to a load, but is itselfnot for carrying or liftingresponsible for the load.

So it belongs to theLoad handling auxiliary equipment, not to the actual load handling device.

What load handling devices are there?

The most common load handling devices include:

Forks (e.g. on forklifts)
crane hook
trusses
Lifting magnets
Vacuum lifter
Grabs (e.g. wood or scrap grabs)
Tipping containers and troughs
Round sling attachments or C-hooks

Load handling devices are specially designed to safely pick up and move loads, usually in conjunction with cranes, forklifts or lifting equipment.

What information must be present on a load-handling device?

A load-handling device must be permanently and legibly marked – in accordance with DIN EN 13155 and the BetrSichV. Mandatory information includes:

Load capacity (WLL) in kg or t
Manufacturer or distributor
Type designation or model
Serial number or identification number
Dead weight (if relevant for load calculation)
CE marking (for standard, non-individual products)

The product may not be used without this information.

When do load handling devices need to be inspected?

According to DGUV Rule 100-500 and BetrSichV, load handling equipment must:

before first commissioning,
at least once a year by a qualified person
as well as after special events (e.g. damage, modification, accident).

In addition, a visual inspection by the user is mandatory before each use.

Is a crane hook a load-carrying device?

Yes, a crane hook is one of theload handling equipment.

It serves toLoads directly or via lifting gear(e.g. ropes or chains) to the hoist.

Crane hooks mustfirmly connected to the load-bearing meansandsubject to inspectionbe.

What angle of inclination must not be exceeded when attaching loads?

TheThe angle of inclination between the lifting device and the vertical must not exceed 60 degrees.

From an angle of45 degreesincreases theLoad on the lifting gear increases significantly, at over 60 degrees theRisk of failure significantly increased- thereforenot permitted.

Optimal angles arebelow 45 degreesfor safe and stable attachment conditions.

Who is allowed to attach loads in the company?

Loads may only be attached in the company by persons who have been trained and commissioned by the employer.

In practice this means:

Minimum age 18 years
physical and mental fitness
proven training in the safe attachment of loads
Knowledge of lifting equipment, load limits and hazards

Often, a training course for riggers is carried out in accordance with DGUV Rule 109-017.

Does a load handling device require a CE marking?

Yes, mass-produced load handling devices require aCE markingif they fall under theMachinery Directive 2006/42/ECfall.

These include, for example:Grippers, traverses, lifting magnets or vacuum lifters.

Forsimply constructed, in-house custom-made productsThe CE marking may be omitted – here theIndustrial Safety Ordinance (BetrSichV)with internal risk assessment.

Is a pallet a load-handling device?

No, a pallet isno load-carrying device, but is one of theLoading unit or transport aid.

It serves theStorage, transport and handlingof goods, butnot directly attached to the crane or hoist.

Load handling equipmentare specially designed toTo safely pick up and carry loads, e.g. forks, traverses or lifting magnets.

Are pallet boxes a load-carrying device?

No, Gitterboxes are not load handling equipment, butload carriersorLoading aids.

They serve theTransport and storage of goods, but do not becomedirect lifting of the load by a lifting deviceused.

Only specialGitterboxes with tested attachment pointsand CE marking canin exceptional casesbe approved as a load-handling device.

What are the 10 vital rules for slinging loads?

Only trained personnel may attach loads.
No rigging work without training and written authorization.
Check lifting gear before each use.
Visual inspection for cracks, deformation, abrasion or damage.
Observe the load-bearing capacity (WLL).
Load weight and stop angle must be within the permissible limits.
Select suitable lifting gear.
The type of attachment, weight and shape of the load determine the selection.
Attach the load centrally and symmetrically
Avoid diagonal pull and asymmetrical loading at all costs.
Protect sharp-edged loads
Use edge protection to avoid damaging the lifting gear.
Never stay under suspended loads
The danger area must be strictly avoided – danger to life!
Lift the load slowly and carefully.
No jerky movements, lift slowly until the cable is evenly tensioned.
Monitor continuously during the lifting process.
Maintain visual contact with the load and work with a guide if necessary.
Only work with approved anchor points.
Eyebolts, lugs, etc. must be designed and tested for the planned load.

What are loose load handling devices?

Loose load handling devices are devices that are not permanently connected to the lifting gear and are used between the crane and the load when required.

Typical examples are:

trusses
Lifting clamps
Lifting magnets
Vacuum lifter
gripper

They must be tested, labelled and suitable for the respective lifting task.

Is slinger training mandatory?

Yes, a slinger training isDuty, if employeesSecure or attach loads with slings.

LoudIndustrial Safety Ordinance (BetrSichV)andDGUV Rule 109-017All persons carrying out rigging work mustinstructed, professionally qualified and commissioned in writingbe.

Without valid training,no one attaches loads– this also applies to short-term assignments.

Which load handling device is form-fitting?

Positive-locking load handling devices hold the load through a force-free mechanical connection, e.g. by hooking, gripping or locking.

Typical examples:

Grippers (e.g. scrap, wood or pliers grippers)
Clamps and pliers
Load-bearing beams with positive mounting
Load handling magazines (with mechanical locking)

In contrast, force-locking devices hold the load through friction, e.g., by pressing or clamping with force.

What is a slinger?

A striker is aSpecialist in lifting and transport, prepares the loads for lifting with a crane or hoist. He selects the correct lifting gear (e.g. chains, ropes, straps), attaches them securely to the load and provides the crane operator with the necessarySigns and signalsfor safe transport.
