CUT AND WEAR PROTECTION
Sling protection products need to be used in applications where
sling damage may occur. Cutting of synthetic slings during use is the
number one cause of sling accidents. A variety of factors in昀氀uence sling
protection performance. Since no material is fully cut proof, a quali昀椀ed
person must select materials and methods that adequately protect
slings from edges or surfaces. Lift-All can assist customers with their
product selections.
WARNING
Exposure of sling to edges with a
radius that is too small can cause
sling failure and loss of the load.
Always protect synthetic slings
from being cut or damaged by
corners, edges, and protrusions
using protection su昀케cient for each
application.
Lift-All sling protection products are divided into two categories, Cut Protection and Wear Protection. Cut Protection
Products are designed to improve workplace safety. When placed between slings and edges, cut protection products
act as a bu昀昀er to prevent sling cutting and to reduce bearing pressure levels at contact areas. Wear protection
products serve to extend sling life by reducing abrasive wear and prevent marring of the load surfaces.
The following table provides comparative sling protection performance for standard Lift-All products.
