Red Core Yarn Advisory LiftPRO advises not to rely solely on exposure of red core yarn as an indication of web wear! The exposure of red core yarn is often used as a vis-ual indication of wear to a web.

9 This should not be the sole indicator of wear! Web manufacturers weave a red core yarn at 1" spacing throughout their webbing, and ideally, the red core is placed at the center (core) of the webbing. However, manufacturers cannot guarantee precise placement of the red fibers. During the manufacturing process, the red core yarn may float, causing a variation in the yarn placement from center to the top or bottom of the webbing. It is possible to cut through as much as 90% of the webbing without exposing the red core yarn! Therefore, LiftPRO , Inc. advises not relying solely on exposure of the red core yarn as an indi-cation of web wear. LiftPRO believes there are many indicators of wear to a sling, including cuts, abrasions, etc. Red Core Yarn LiftPRO , Inc. manufactures slings to a tolerance of + or - 2% for one and two ply slings.

10 Tolerance for three and four ply slings is + or - 4%. Specify matched lengths if required and call LiftPRO , Inc. for special requirements. To order Bridle Slings, see page 25.
