Lifting Sling & Rigging Inspection Scheduler
A free sling maintenance register: last service, interval, due date and overdue alerts — sorted by urgency, stored in your browser.
Your register stays in this browser (localStorage) — nothing is uploaded.
Add your first sling to see the schedule. Sorted by urgency, the next due item is always on top.
Field notes from maintenance practice
Rigging inspection has the clearest discard criteria in maintenance, which makes the documented round fast: synthetic slings with cut webbing, broken stitching, chemical burns or no readable tag — out; chain with stretch, gouges or bent links — out; wire rope per broken-wire counts. The register's value is the inventory itself: numbered slings with capacity and last-inspection date, because the unmarked sling someone found is exactly the one that fails.
Store slings hung in a marked rack, not pooled in a drum — UV, dragging and kinking in storage cause much of what the inspection later condemns. Run the register on whatever device lives where the work happens — a workshop tablet beats a spreadsheet on someone's laptop, because the person doing the job sees the list.

About Lifting Sling & Rigging Inspection Scheduler
This scheduler keeps a living register of your slings: add each one with its last service date and interval, and the board computes due dates, sorts by urgency and flags anything overdue or due within 14 days. One tap (✓) marks a service done and restarts that asset's clock. ASME B30.9 requires pre-use checks by the user plus periodic documented inspections by a designated person — annually as a floor, more often (quarterly/semi-annual) for heavy or severe service.

Frequently asked questions
How often should a sling be serviced or inspected?+
ASME B30.9 requires pre-use checks by the user plus periodic documented inspections by a designated person — annually as a floor, more often (quarterly/semi-annual) for heavy or severe service. Severe duty, harsh environments or regulatory requirements shorten it — and your OEM manual, insurer or local code always takes precedence over the generic default.
The tag is unreadable but the sling looks perfect — keep it?+
No — per ASME B30.9 a sling with a missing or illegible identification tag is removed from service, full stop. The tag carries rated capacity, hitch ratings and material; without it nobody can verify the sling against the lift plan, and unknown capacity is the same hazard as damage. Some riggers send good slings for re-tagging by the manufacturer; for commodity web slings, replacement usually costs less than the round trip.
Some of my units work much harder than others — same interval for all?+
No — set per-asset intervals: this register stores an interval with each sling, so the hard-worked unit can run a shorter clock than the spare. Halving the interval for severe duty (dust, heat, continuous running) is the standard rule of thumb, and the due list re-sorts automatically.
What happens if I clear my browser data?+
The register is stored in localStorage on this device, so clearing site data erases it — note critical dates elsewhere or photograph the list periodically if it has become your master record. The upside of the design: no account, no server, nothing about your facility ever leaves the machine you're standing at.
