Table 4-3 Strap Flatness
Elongated Hole
See Figure 4-11 for the following procedure.
1. Insert pin into hole.
2. Push pin tight against edge of hole along horizontal
center line. Measure dimension between pin and hole
(View A).
3. Push pin tight against edge of hole along vertical center
line. Measure dimension between pin and hole (View B).
If dimension B is not half of A, hole is elongated.
Remove strap from service.
If dimension A is greater than 0,8 mm (0.030 in),
contact the Manitowoc Crane Care Lattice Team

Storing Straps
Straps should be stored in a protected area. If stored in the
open, a protective covering is recommended, especially in a
corrosive environment (chemicals, salt water spray, etc.).
Inspect straps in storage for corrosion monthly. If necessary,
sandblast to remove corrosion and repaint to maintain a
continuous protective surface. If corrosion is not removed,
strap will have to be removed from service because
reduction in thickness will exceed the maximum allowed.
A full periodic inspection is required for straps returned to
service from storage.
