Many of Kinedyne's webbing products were changed recently to incorporate black edges, gold color webbing, and a new stencil pattern. Specifically, the changes to Kinedyne's standard strap assemblies are:
-
Many of the company's most popular 2-, 3-, and 4-inch-wide strap assemblies are now manufactured with black edges on both sides of the webbing.
-
In addition, all 2-, 3-, and 4-inch-wide winch and ratchet strap assemblies previously constructed with yellow webbing are now being produced with gold color webbing.
-
Many of the strap assemblies impacted by these changes will also feature a revised stencil pattern that includes the “Working Load Limit” (WLL) of the strap assembly — in both pounds and kilograms — and the Kinedyne logo, all clearly marked at regular intervals on the webbing.
The new WLL Working Load Limit stencil serves as a back-up to the information already printed on the Warning & Ratings tag on strap assemblies. Current regulations require a downgrade of the WLL limit to 1000 pounds per inch of width if the tag is either missing or no longer legible. Kinedyne's new WLL stencil meets requirements of this regulation by printing the WLL and manufacturer information directly on the webbing.
For most Kinedyne customers, these revisions will be seamless, since none of the changes required a revision to existing Kinedyne part numbers for strap assemblies. Products in the new color will be shipped from Kinedyne facilities once inventory of the older, yellow color straps is depleted. To help customers manage their inventory, the outer case of all shipments of the new, gold color, black edge webbing will be marked with an orange colored sticker.
