  Repair and Re-Certification
Repairs of synthetic slings should only be done by a reputable synthetic sling manufacturer who has the proper test facilities to proof load all repaired slings. Twin-Path® slings must ONLY be repaired by an authorized and licensed Twin-Path® manufacturer. Web slings should never be repaired if structually damaged. Tubular sling products (Uni-Path®, Twin-Path®) should never be repaired if load bearing yarns are cut.

Sling hardware (shackles, rings, triangles, etc) may be re-used after inspection and proof-testing.

All repaired slings are proof loaded to twice their Rated Capacity (2 x WLL) and, if applicable, have a new tag attached.

Upon request we will issue a Test Certificate for the repaired sling.
     
     
Inspection Service at Customer Location
Here's what we do

  If not already done we take a complete inventory of all your lifting slings and devices and create a database for your location
  Assign serial numbers
  Perform a visual inspection
  Create a complete listing of all lifting slings stating type, serial number, recommended repairs, and expected cost. At this point YOU decide if you want us to proceed
     
Based on visual inspection only, NO lifting sling product can be re-certified. We HAVE to perform proof tests at our plant to verify and confirm sling safety.
  Repair and Proof Testing at Unirope
Here's what we do

  If required make repairs as outlined in our generated Visual Inspection Report
  Proof Load the product to 2 x WLL or as required
  After Proof Load we check for any deformations to make sure the product has withstood the proof load and is fit for service
  Attach a tag or mark the product
     
NOW we issue a proper TEST CERTIFICATE for your files and to present it to official Safety Inspectors. Our Sling Inspectors are third party certified by WRRC and factory trained.
