This is the worlds rst truly ergonomic sling. It has a bulked
nylon outer cover for superior abrasion resistance. These are made
in sizes up to 500,000 lbs. vertical rated capacity. Larger capacity
slings are available on special order. Extra Heavy Duty Covermax is
standard on 40,000 lb. vertical capacity and higher. These slings have
overload tell-tails, inner red cover, and are used worldwide in place of
wire rope slings for heavy lifts. They are about 10% of the weight of a
steel sling. These products are repairable. The Twin-Path patented
design provides the rigger with two connections between the hook
and the load for redundant back-up protection. These slings have
1% stretch at rated capacity compared to braided polyester round
slings which can stretch up to 9%. If ergonomics, productivity and
safety are important, then these slings are the only choice. This is
the lightest and strongest sling on the market today with K-Spec
the longest lasting load bearing core yarn, backed by independent
testing. All slings have ber optic internal inspection system.

The sling shall be examined for conditions listed below. Periodic
inspections intervals shall not exceed 1 year. The frequency of periodic
inspections should be based on:
1. frequency of sling use
2. severity of service conditions
3. nature of lifts being made
4. experience gained on the service lift of slings used in similar
circumstances
Guidelines for the time intervals are:
Normal Service yearly

Sharp edges in contact with the sling should be padded with
material of sufcient strength to protect the sling.
Shock loading should be avoided.
Loads should not be rested on the sling.
Slings should not be pulled from under a load when the load is
resting on the sling.
Twisting shall be avoided.
During lifting, with or without load, personnel shall be alert for
possible snagging.
In a basket hitch, the load should be balanced to prevent slippage.
When using a basket hitch, the legs of the sling should contain or
support the load from the sides, above the center of gravity, so that
the load remains under control.
Slings should not be dragged on the oor or over an abrasive
surface like a gravel road, or concrete.
In a choker hitch, the choke point should only be on the sling
body, not on a splice or tting.
In a choker hitch, an angle of choke less than 120 degrees
should not be used without reducing the rated load. (consult
manufacturer)
Slings should not be constricted, bunched, or pinched by the load,
hook, or any tting.
The load applied to the hook should be centered in the base of
the hook to prevent point loading on the hook, unless the hook is
designed for point loading.
An object in the eye of the sling should not be wider that one-half
the length of the eye.
Special Recommendations
Extended exposure to high temperatures may cause the Yellow
Jacket Vinyl Coating to become tacky when rolling and unrolling
belts.
Exposure to low temperatures will considerably reduce the
exibility of the Lowering-in belts.
If a Lowering-in Belt or Lined Steel Choker belt is damaged, return
it to your distributor for possible repair. In most cases, the End
Irons used on the Lowering-in belts can be tested, and reused.
