Sling industry development status

      China has entered the era of industrial production of slings. The sling is the auxiliary material for production and construction, and the development of the sling market is closely related to economic development. Before November 2008, due to the rapid economic development, China's economy has advanced by leaps and bounds. Therefore, China's slings have developed very rapidly, and both export and domestic sales have reached the peak of history.

      However, the world financial crisis of September 2008 has already affected the real economy since November 2008, and it has been reflected in foreign demand in terms of exports, especially chemical fiber slings and transport tighteners, which have been drastically reduced. In addition, due to the sharp appreciation of the renminbi against the euro and other foreign currencies, the competitiveness of China's rigging exports has been greatly reduced. Some foreign orders previously booked have begun to suffer large losses due to the significant appreciation of the renminbi against some foreign currencies.

      China's main slings accounted for a large proportion of exports. Due to the obstruction of exports, some enterprises closed individual workshops and reduced the production capacity of chemical fiber slings and bundles. Some enterprises transferred employees of chemical fiber workshops to work in steel rigging workshops. The company started to lay off employees. Zhejiang is mainly an export-oriented enterprise, which is the most affected. China’s export-oriented slings business in 2009 only managed to protect the business. In the Chinese market, as the major industries using slings are severely shrinking, companies are accounting for costs, their demand is much reduced, and their ability to pay is declining. Although the country has proposed revitalization plans for these industries, the demand for these industries cannot be rapidly increased because the international climate is difficult to recover. It should be noted that as China continues to invest in new projects, such as nuclear power construction, wind power construction, railways and bridge construction, the demand for slings will be improved in these construction projects.

      In short, in 2009, China’s sling exports will be reduced by more than 50% year-on-year, and domestic sales will be reduced by more than 10%. In the face of severe economic conditions, the sales competition for slings began to become more intense. Some export-oriented enterprises, due to lack of domestic sales experience, in order to survive, hit the price war, seriously affecting the healthy development of the sling industry.

      China's sling industry has developed rapidly in recent years, but the technical standards are very imperfect. Domestic enterprises are free to produce and even reduce the safety factor without authorization. Therefore, China's hoisting safety has great hidden dangers. For example, in terms of transportation bundles, there are no standards in China. There are only promotion standards for slings, and there are no mandatory standards.

      We must constantly improve relevant technical standards and issue relevant mandatory regulations to ensure the safety of lifting and carrying in China. China's transportation sector, the logistics department has begun relevant cooperation.

      With the development of the rigging industry, the corresponding standards are being introduced, and they are gradually improving. However, it cannot be denied that the rigging has this problem in terms of safety. China has a large proportion in the world, so it is the only way to develop its own industry, owning its own patents, and innovation. It is impossible to completely follow the foreign standards.
