Red Tracer Yarn Inspection Aid

All standard Mazzella nylon and polyester web slings have red warning yarns. Red core yarns may become exposed when the sling surface is cut or worn through the woven face yarns. This is one criteria, but not the only one for removal from service! This aids in the inspection process and is indicated in the below circles.
