The CornerMax® Pad
creates a “tunnel” of cut
protection which is known as the No Touch Zone.
The corner of the load does not come in contact
with the pad or the sling. The CornerMax
®
Pad is
specifically designed to be used in 90˚ angle
applications. Rated for 25,000 lbs per inch of sling
width.
CornerMax® Sleeve
is made from tough high
performance fiber that is specifically woven to
provide cut protection for a variety of edges and
surfaces. CornerMax
®
Sleeves can be used in
many different angles and applications. Rated for
25,000 lbs per inch of sling width.
Synthetic Armor
Pads protect slings from
abrasion damage that can be caused by contact
with rough surfaces such as concrete beams and
structures. They are also used to protect finished
or painted loads from marring. Synthetic Armor
can be made to fit any length or width sling.
The pin area of a shackle can damage synthetic
slings. Placing synthetic slings on the pin should
be avoided. Shackles may have a sharp edge
where the pin goes through the shackle ear. If the
sling is rigged on this area, it could become
severely damaged. If you must rig on the pin,
protect your sling with a
Shackle Pin Pad
.
CUT AND ABRASION PROTECTION
Slings in contact with edges, corners, protrusions, abrasive surfaces or connecting hardware
shall be protected with a material of sufficient strength, thickness and construction to prevent
damage. Cut protection shall be rated and labeled for its intended use.
Failure to use proper protection can result in sling failure, load drop, and death or serious
injury.
