Discarding / recertifying

Examples – discarding/ recertifying

Below you will see photos of a typical discarding/recertifying problem. Remember that RECERTIFYING has to be done by an authorized partner. AS Hamatec is not allowed to recertify lifting equipment. However, DISCARDING is totally up to you.

Fibers oozing out. A closer examination is needed.

Resertifisering_5
Another clear exterior damaged – but again: are the interior fibers damaged?

Resertifisering_6
The sling is opened carefully…

Resertifisering_7
Cutting carefully. It would be a shame if the fibers are damaged in the inspection process.
