Norwegian to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / cargo lifting, lifting equipment
Norwegian term or phrase: forløper
Stropper, med unntak av forløpere, med SWL/WLL lavere enn 8 tonn kan følge samme rutine...

SWL = safe working load

The text is about inspections of lifting equipment. Forløber means a predecessor, but in this example I am expecting it to be some kind of a strap or rope. Some dictionary mentioned "whip" as a possible translation without providing any examples. Any suggestions?
