Check-Fast™ Inspection System
Patent Pending 60/683,987

The Check-Fast® System is designed to improve job-site safety.The Fast® Tag and External Warning Indicator (EWI) on a roundsling product provides for a pass/fail inspection of the internal load bearing core yarn. Damage to the core yarn from fiber on fiber abrasion, fatigue, and severe overload can be detected. If the sling is mistakenly overloaded beyond rated capacity, the EWI is designed to disappear before the sling fails. The inspector no longer has to feel and squeeze around the entire sling to guess if the core has been severely overloaded. This safety system is available for polyester or High Performance K-Spec® Fiber Roundslings fabricated by authorized SLINGMAX® Dealers.

The Check-Fast™ System is an independent sacrificial element in the roundsling and is not a part of the actual load bearing structure of the sling. If the Check-Fast™ System indicates internal damage is does so without further weakening of the bearing core.
