Check-Fast® Inspection System
Elko Wire Rope’s Check-Fast® Inspection System is engineered to improve job site safety by providing a fast, accurate method for detecting internal sling damage before a lift begins. Featuring the External Warning Indicator (EWI), this system offers a clear pass/fail inspection criterion when the internal load-bearing core yarn may be compromised, ensuring slings are removed from service before failure can occur.

- External Warning Indicator (EWI) – A high-visibility tag that becomes visible when the sling’s internal core yarns are damaged, signaling the need for immediate removal from service.
- Rapid Pass/Fail Determination – Allows riggers to quickly assess sling integrity during pre-use inspections.
- Reduces Human Error – Minimizes the risk of missed internal damage that can lead to catastrophic lifting failures.
- Internal Damage Detection – A specially designed indicator yarn is integrated within the sling’s core. If the core is damaged due to overload, abrasion, or cutting, the EWI emerges through the sling cover.
- Visual Safety Confirmation – The EWI’s appearance is an unmistakable signal that the sling can no longer be safely used.
- Designed for Synthetic Round Slings – Works seamlessly with compatible Slingmax® round slings for enhanced workplace safety.
The Check-Fast® Inspection System is trusted in sectors where lifting safety is critical:
- Construction & Steel Erection – Prevents dangerous lifts by catching internal damage early.
- Industrial Manufacturing – Streamlines inspection for daily lifting operations.
- Offshore & Marine – Ensures sling reliability in harsh, corrosive environments.
- Rigging for Heavy Equipment – Protects operators and assets during high-capacity lifts.
- Improved Safety Compliance – Supports adherence to ASME B30.9 and OSHA sling inspection requirements.
