Yes, the straps can be used to carry the bags when full, however, we recommend Keeping a few details in mind:
- These bags, including the lifting straps, are manufactured with a 5:1 safety factor.
- The rated lifting capacity is based on using a 4-way spreader designed for this purpose. Lifting with skid loader, tractor, or forklift forks, which can have square or sharp edges, should be done with caution.
- Transporting the bags by the lifting loops over rough terrain can result in excessive stress on the straps. Make sure to consider the effects of dynamic loading vs. static loading.
- We recommend placing the bags on pallets and using the pallet to transport within your woodlot. This is safer if transporting over rough terrain and will increase the longevity of the bag.
