Use wear pads or "softeners" between the beam and the strap to prevent friction heat and sharp-edge cutting.
In technical inspections, the term "hot" is often used to describe a A "hot crack" is one that is currently growing or is under such intense stress that failure is imminent. atir strap and beamd with crack hot
Here is a deep dive into what these terms mean for equipment safety, how to identify the risks, and what to do when your gear starts showing these warning signs. 1. The "Atir Strap": Synthetic Lifting Safety Use wear pads or "softeners" between the beam
In rigging, "atir" is often a phonetic shorthand or a specific brand reference for heavy-duty polyester or nylon lifting straps. These are the workhorses of the construction site, used to hoist multi-ton loads. Caused by repeated loading and unloading
Caused by repeated loading and unloading. Even a microscopic crack can propagate (spread) instantly under a "hot" or heavy load, leading to catastrophic structural failure.
Cracks usually start at stress points—welds, bolts, or sharp angles.
Synthetic straps don’t "crack" like glass, but they do undergo fiber brittle-failure. If a strap is exposed to harsh chemicals or extreme UV rays, the internal fibers become stiff. When under load, instead of stretching, they snap.
