Flexible lifting belts and flat lifting belts are two completely different types of lifting belts. The former has a cylindrical structure, while the latter has a flat structure. However, both have a ring eye structure design to better connect with the hook or suspension ring. Recently, a customer inquired about whether the two types of lifting belts can be directly connected to increase the length of the operation? Below, Guanhang will bring you the answer.

Flexible lifting belts and flat lifting belts are usually not directly connected because of their different designs and structures. The difference in the size of the force surface can result in different forces being borne by the two, which can easily weaken the strength of one of them. But this is just that flexible lifting belts and flat lifting belts cannot be directly connected for use. If they are indirectly connected for use, there is still no big problem. We can choose to use connectors such as lifting rings and shackles to connect the two.

The connector can ensure that the strength of both components is not affected, but it should be noted that the selection and use of connectors or accessories should comply with relevant safety standards and regulations. When carrying out lifting operations, it is necessary to ensure that the connectors and lifting straps you use have sufficient strength and reliability in order to ensure the safe connection of flexible lifting straps and flat lifting straps.
