WHAT’S NEW MAZZELLA COMPANIES LAUNCHES ONLINE SLING INSPECTION COURSE Mazzella Companies recently launched a new
online course to complement the Lifting U™ brand of classroom and online training programs. Sling Inspections is the second addition to the library of online courses available at
www.LiftingU.com.
Mazzella’s Sling Inspections course consists
of eight lessons and focuses on OSHA 1910.184 Slings and ASME B30.9 Slings standards. Each lesson features hands-on video inspections, performed by certified Mazzella Inspectors, to demonstrate proper inspection technique and identify ASME’s removal from service criteria. “All of the tagging, inspection, and removal from
service criteria is from applicable OSHA and ASME standards. We had all of this information already

available on our website, but we realized that we could package this into an online course that was engaging and easy to share with others,” says Tom Horner, Corporate Rigging Inspection Manager of Mazzella Companies. Other topics covered in each lesson, include:
inspection frequencies, sling tag requirements, inspection criteria, disposal of damaged/failed slings, and best practices for sling use and maintenance. “Not only did we rely on information from industry
standards, but also on the expertise and experience of our inspectors and trainers. The video demonstrations and real-world examples of damaged slings set this course apart from others we’ve seen,” says Mike Minissale, Director of Marketing of Mazzella Companies.
WHAT’S NEW LIFT-ALL ANNOUNCES NEW GENERATION OF TUFF-EDGE SLINGS TO THE MARKET
Lift-All Co. the trusted name in lifting and load securement products is pleased to announce the upcoming launch of its 3rd generation Tuff-Edge webbing. Tuff-Edge III has three patents pending and is the result of two years of hard work and design perseverance. “We did not want to develop another product with
coated edge fibers. Our customers did not like being poked in the hand if the edge became frayed or cut. We wanted to offer a solution and I believe that we did just that,” said Steve Pacilio, President of Lift-All. “We listened to our customers and designed a product that would be soft and pliable and have improved edge damage resistance.” The number one reason to remove a sling from service
is edge damage. The newly designed Tuff-Edge III includes a tubular edge with damage resistant core fibers which float inside to aid in preventing damage to the body fibers. This keeps the integrity of the sling intact without compromising its strength. In fact, Tuff-Edge III is 30% more resistant to edge damage than the current Tuff-Edge II webbing. The body
weave design was also changed to incorporate a twill weave which helps improve abrasion resistance and allows the sling body to remain soft and pliable. The most unique change to the web is the revolutionary EDL (Edge Damage Limit) indicator which is a black marker yarn that runs along each edge. If there is a cut or damage to the sling edge, the sling can remain in service as long as the damage has not reached the EDL marker, assuming the rest of the sling is in good condition. “The EDL is the first of its kind in the industry,” said
Greg Babinchak, Manager of Technical Services for Lift-All and Chairman of the Web Sling and Tiedown Association’s Roundsling Committee. “Sling inspections are difficult enough and this out of service tool is a welcomed and beneficial safety feature of our Tuff-Edge III webbing. It provides our customers with a visual guide to help them understand when they should remove the sling from service due to edge damage.” Lift-All Co. is celebrating 55 years of engineering solu- tions for the lifting and load securement industry whose
markets include construction, manufacturing, oil & gas, wind power and entertainment. With a team of Customer Service Specialists and dedicated District Salesmen covering North America to provide solutions, training and assistance with sling inspections, you can trust Lift-All to be there to help you get the job done safely.
