Eye Wrap of 175,000 lbs. capacity Twin-Path Sling

There is the custom application where a Twin-Path® Extra sling must fit into narrow hardware or narrow hoisting collars. For the occasional lift we have developed a system which allows us to wrap a portion of the Twin-Path® Extra sling to about 50% of its normal width. The wrapping is done with seat belt webbing which not only compresses the sling body, but at the same time provides some sort of sling protection.

Wrapping must be done at the manufacturing facility because unique equipment is needed, plus we have to proof load the sling after the wrapping process. This wrapping is not meant to be removed by the customer as cutting the wrapping can damage the sling.

Note: The wrapping process can ONLY be done with Twin-Path® Extra slings.

Note the stiffness of the wrap which makes it easier to rigg.

The eye wrap is load tested over pins to ensure the integrity of the wrap.
