  • 6. Why Choose Elko Wire Rope for the Check-Fast® Inspection System?
  • 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.
  • Minimized Downtime – Quick inspections keep projects moving without compromising safety.
  • Reduced Accident Risk – Prevents the use of slings with unseen structural damage.
  • Enhanced Job Site Confidence – Workers can verify sling safety at a glance.

For the best performance and longest service life:

  • Inspect Before Every Lift – Check for visible EWI, cuts, or abrasion on the sling cover.
  • Follow WLL Ratings – Never exceed the Working Load Limit specified on the sling tag.
  • Use Edge Protection – Shield slings from sharp corners or rough edges.
  • Store Properly – Keep clean, dry, and away from direct sunlight or chemicals.
  • Certified Quality – All products meet or exceed industry safety standards.
  • Expert Guidance – Our rigging specialists can match you with the safest lifting solution for your needs.
  • Proven Field Performance – Trusted in industries where failure is not an option.
  • Fast Availability – Stocked and ready for quick delivery to your job site.
