The color of a roundsling's cover indicates what?

• A. Color of cover
• B. Color marker
• C. Placard
• D. Colored yarns

Answer: (A)

Color coding on roundsling covers communicates the sling’s working load limit. The outer jacket color is a quick visual cue that tells you the rated capacity of the sling, so you can quickly determine if it’s suitable for the load you’re lifting. Different standards or manufacturers map colors to specific capacities, so you should also check the sling’s identification tag or data sheet to confirm the exact WLL and dimensions, since color mappings can vary. This makes it easier to select the right sling at a glance and helps prevent using a sling that’s too weak for the load. The other options describe markers, placards, or yarns that aren’t the standard way the capacity is conveyed.
