If the identification tag is missing or illegible, it is the responsibility of the inspector to remove the sling from service.
At Mazzella Companies, all of our web slings are sent out the door with our duraKlear™ identification tags. These tags have printing on the inside of the clear durable tag to protect the lettering and can easily be wiped clean.
The duraKlear™ tag offers the following benefits:
- Lettering remains legible for life of the sling
- Resistant to abrasion
- Dirt, oil, and grease can easily be wiped off
- Easily inspect the webbing material under the tag
- Tag comes with UV inhibitors
