Where should slings be stored to avoid damage?

Storing slings in an environment where they are not exposed to chemicals, mechanical damage, moisture, or extreme heat is essential for maintaining their integrity and prolonging their service life. Exposure to chemicals can cause degradation of the materials, while mechanical damage can result from improper handling or storage methods, such as stacking heavy items on top of slings. Moisture can lead to mold and mildew, especially in natural fiber slings, which can impair their strength and performance. Extreme heat can weaken materials, causing them to lose their load-bearing capabilities. Therefore, a controlled storage environment protects slings from potential hazards that can compromise their function and safety.
