Article Description| Master rigger Mike Parnell walks up to a rack and picks up what looks like a giant rubber band. In reality, it is a 10-ft-long, 2-in.-wide lifting sling made of thin, yellow nylon webbing. Parnell runs his fingers over the pilled, faded, oil-stained surface. “Your hands will tell you more than your eyes,” he says, as he flips the material over for further inspection. Under the roof of a Chicago-area manufacturing plant, Parnell puts down the strap, wipes his hands on his jeans and concludes that the sling needs to be replaced. |
