Synthetic Sling Accessories

 

Warning! Not all cut protection products are the same! The following is an excerpt from a report done for the Department of Energy: "Only one company offers protection specifically designed to prevent the sling from being cut, along with testing information and a maximum rated load for which the sling protection would work.”

Cut Protection

CornerMax

 

CornerMax® Pad - Engineered Cut Protection (for 90 degree load edges)
The CornerMax® Pad cut protection device prevents an edge on the load from touching the sling. In fact the edge doesn’t even touch the CornerMax® protector! This protector will handle the most extreme circumstances lifting steel and concrete. CornerMax® Pads are the latest in the line of sling protection from Slingmax®.
(US Patent # 7,744,138)


CornerMax® Sleeve - Specialized Cut Protection
The CornerMax® Sleeve is the ideal solution to protect synthetic slings from cutting when it is not practical to use a CornerMax® Pad, whether due to curvature of the load edge or repetitive uses such as unloading steel coils. 

Linton Protector - Magnetic Cut Protection
Details: Made of solid nylon, Attaches with magnets, Works with: Steel slings, Flat Web Slings, and Roundslings.

 


Abrasion Protection


Synthetic Armor Pads

SYNTHETIC ARMOR™ PADS - DO NOT use for cut protection! For abrasion ONLY.
For extra abrasion protection for synthetic, wire rope, and chain slings, we have available an assortment of materials that we incorporate in our Synthetic Armor Pads. These are for abrasion or wear protection. Not only will these wear pads keep the load from damaging the slings, but they will also protect the load from being scratched by the slings.

Armor Pads

SHACKLE PIN PADS
When rigging a synthetic sling on a shackle pin (screw pin type), sometimes the sling can be cut in the seam where the first thread meets the shackle ear.  If you must rig a synthetic sling on the pin, protect it with a Shackle Pin Pad.  This pad is easy to connect and remove.



Fiber Optic

 

FIBER OPTIC INSPECTION
FO All Twin-Path® slings have the Fiber Optic inspection. The condition of the internal core yarn can be inspected by checking the continuity of the fiber optic cable. If heat, chemicals, crushing or cutting has occurred then the damage to the fiber optic cable will destroy its ability to transmit light from one end to the other giving the inspector a reason to remove the sling from service and send it for repair evaluation. The fiber optic cable will conduct light using natural, overhead or flashlight sources.

G-Link
G-LINK™ CONNECTORS
The magic of one piece hardware that does so many things. You can use it
on Twin-Path®, web and single path round slings, for attaching hooks or rings, connecting two slings together, as sliding choker connection, as an adjustable sling, as a choke lock connection or to shorten a sling’s reach. No parts, bolts, nuts, cotters, pins, or anything to look for. This is the only universal coupler designed with riggers in mind to fulfill all of their needs in the field. The G-Link™ connector keeps the
hardware such as hooks or rings in the same plane as the sling.
