sizing lifting straps

[Maxxi 73]

Bye to all,
I write from the province of biella;
I would have a question to ask you: I have to dimension the section of a belt (lifting belt) to the lifting of a load; it has a known length and is moved by a drum. On the one hand, there is a counterweight, on the other we have the load. I have all the data, including: lifting speed, acceleration, drum diameter, load mass to be lifted, counterweight mass, contact angle, belt length. clearly each manufacturer proposes its type of belt, with different characteristics, etc. would it be possible to obtain with some formula a maximum sizing? Thank you to those who want to help me.

I would go very cautious and if possible I would go to a company in the field selling lifting systems (chains - ropes - belts), complete with testing certificate.

in the sites or catalogs of manufacturers there is no formula for sizing? It seems strange

for the section of the belt refers to the lifting norms and characteristics of the manufacturer of the belt/fue/chain.
everything else is kinematic, static, etc. and however requires some expertise. being a lifting system has special attention to safety and has specific industry standards.

Thank you, I will try this way.

I am carrying out research, in fact every manufacturer proposes straps with specific characteristics, but, as to formulas, they seem a little remnants. Thanks anyway.

thank you, I will deepen, especially as to standards, also because I could notice that the security margins are obviously fundamental.
