Appearance alone does not establish a sling’s capacity. Matching identification, configuration and manufacturer records is central to procurement and use records.
Preserve identification information
Readable identification and manufacturer markings support traceability. Capacity of an unidentified item should not be inferred from colour, thickness or previous experience.
Review configuration as a whole
Define leg count, length, end fittings and intended hitch configuration together. Do not transfer a capacity value to a different arrangement without its associated conditions.
Match purchase and delivery records
Link the purchase description, delivered sling identification and documents to the same record. Define document type and product coverage in the quotation.
