Slings age according to the same principles as rope, since they are produced from materials with very similar ageing behaviour. It is difficult to define their lifetime, since slings are often used differently. Check your sling every so often for signs of damage and use the following criteria to decide whether or not a sling or webbing needs to be replaced;
In the end, your own personal feeling of safety will decide when you no longer trust your sling.
The table below shows guide values for the service life of slings and webbing:
Frequency of use | Approximate lifetime |
Never used | maximum 10 years |
Rarely used: once or twice a year | up to 7 years |
Used occasionally: once a month | up to 5 years |
Used regularly: several times a month | up to 3 years |
Used frequently: every week | up to 1 year |
Used constantly: almost daily | less than 1 year |
After a hard day on the cliffs, slings and webbing are often covered with dirt and dust. To maintain the quality and safety of your slings, you need to clean them regularly.
