FLAT & ROUND SLINGS
FIBRE OPTIC INSPECTION FOR TWIN-PATH ® SLINGS › Twin-Path ® slings have the Fibre Optic inspection system
› The condition of the internal core yarn can be inspected just by checking the continuity of the fibre optic cable › ability to transmit light from one end to the other giving the inspector a reason to remove the sling from service and send it in for repair evaluation › The fibre optic cable will conduct light using natural, overhead or flashlight sources › The inspector simply covers and removes his finger from one end and watches the other end for blinking which indicates that the sling is OK to use for another lift › NOTE: Not recommended in Twin-Path ® Slings above 100T rated. SYNTHETIC ARMOR TM PADS: ABRASION PROTECTION › Synthetic ArmorTM pads protect slings from abrasion damage which 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 › These pads can be made to fit any length or width sling › They can also be made in long lengths which the customer can cut into suitable sizes on the job › Double or triple thickness provides resistance for the more severe conditions › There is no maximum width and a variety of materials are used to protect slings and to protect loads depending on the degree of abrasion expected in the application
