A woven webbing, for use in a tiedown or sling for lifting, restraint or other material handling functions, has a webbing width which extends from a first edge surface of the woven webbing to a second edge surface of the webbing. Visible out of service markers are woven in the woven webbing at designated distances from the edge surfaces. The out of service markers are visually distinct from woven webbing material of the woven webbing. The visible out of service markers serve as a tool for indicating when the amount of damage concentrated along the edge of the webbing has penetrated to a level such that the woven webbing needs to be taken out of service.

Reusable, flexible, lightweight, low cost flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBCs) for the delivery of granular proppant material for fracing that will allow the transport of higher weights of proppant, such as sand, per truck load. The invention includes a container made of a high strength, flexible material with a top opening for loading and deploying the proppant. The container can be lifted and deployed with a fork truck or crane. Alternatively, proprietary deployment systems, such as a conveyor system, can be used to quickly and efficiently deploy the proppant from the container at a desired site.

The device includes a sling with four flexible support strands, including a pair of rear strands, each of which is attached by a bottom end to one of two lifting points provided in the lateral end portions of the transom stern, and a top end of which is linked to at least one attachment member, for engaging with a hook suspended beneath a helicopter, and two strands, each forming a loop capable of passing around the outer lower contours of the two lateral floats and beneath the keel of the boat, and of which each of the two ends is attached to the attachment member, one of the two looped strands, referred to as the middle strand, surrounding the boat at the central portion of the latter, and the other looped strand, referred to as the front strand, surrounding the boat at the bow of the boat.

A webbing formed of synthetic yams having an indicator for indicating exposure to abrasion which results in strength loss of said synthetic yams. The strength toss indicator comprises a strip extending the length of the webbing placed between two layers of additional webbing. As the webbing is abraded the top layer of webbing is worn down exposing the middle layer of colored yarn acting as the warning indicator. Correlated to the rate of loss of tensile strength of said synthetic yarns due to abrasion.

A hoist attachment which includes a base member; a positioning guide extending from the base member; a positioning member; and an endless sling. The endless sling extends from the base member and cooperates with the positioning guide, the positioning member and the hook member. The hoist attachment remains in position when lifting a load but is easily adjustable when no load is applied. The hoist attachment may be used with the forks of a forklift truck.

A round sling system comprises a bearing structure, a cover, and at least one organizer secured to the cover. The bearing structure is arranged to define a plurality of loop portions and to define at least one bearing structure end portion. The cover defines a cover chamber. The at least one organizer is configured to engage the bearing structure such that the at least one organizer maintains a position of the bearing structure relative to the cover and the at least one organizer maintains a spatial relationship of the loop portions at least within the at least one bearing structure end portion.
