- CONTINUOUS LOOP OF POLYESTER YARN COVERED BY A DOUBLE WALL TUBULAR JACKET
- CORE MOVES INDEPENDENTLY WITHIN THE JACKET
- OUTER JACKET MADE FROM BULKED NYLON FIBERS, OFFERING BETTER ABRASION RESISTANCE
- OUTER JACKET REDUCES THE HEAT BUILD-UP THAT CAN DAMAGE OTHER HIGH CAPACITY ROUNDSLINGS WHEN USED IN CHOKER HITCH
FEATURES, ADVANTAGES, & BENEFITS
- PROMOTES SAFETY:
- LIGHTWEIGHT REDUCES FATIGUE AND STRAIN
- SYNTHETIC MATERIAL WON’T CUT HANDS
- CONSISTENT MATCHED LENGTHS FOR BETTER MULTIPLE SLING LOAD CONTROL
- NO LOSS OF STRENGTH FROM ABRASION TO COVER
- LOW STRETCH REDUCES SLING AND LOAD ABRASION
- CONFORMS TO SHAPE OF LOAD TO GRIP SECURELY
- LOAD BEARING YARNS PROTECTED FROM UV DEGRADATION
- SAVES MONEY
- DOUBLE WALL COVER FOR GREATER SLING LIFE
- SOFT COVER WON’T SCRATCH LOAD SURFACE
- CONFORMS TO SHAPE OF LOAD FOR REDUCED LOAD DAMAGE
- SEAMLESS – NO SEWN EDGES TO RUPTURE PREMATURELY, REQUIRING REMOVAL OF SERVICE
- SAVES TIME
- COLOR CODED CAPACITIES FOR QUICK IDENTIFICATION
- LIGHTWEIGHT AND PLIABLE FOR EASY RIGGING AND STORAGE
- INDEPENDENT CORD YARNS CHOKE TIGHTLY, BUT RELEASE EASILY AFTER USE
- EASY TO CARRY – HIGH STRENGTH TO WEIGHT RATIO
INSPECTION CRITERIA FOR ROUNDSLINGS
- REMOVE FROM SERVICE WHEN:
- CUTS TO SLING COVER EXPOSE RED-STRIPED WHITE CORE YARNS
- HOLES, TEARS, SNAGS, OR ABRASIONS EXPOSE RED-STRIPED WHITE CORE YARNS
- END FITTINGS ARE PITTED OR CORRODED, CRACKED, DISTORTED, OR BROKEN
- THE SLING SHOWS SIGNS OF MELTING, CHARRING, OR CHEMICAL DAMAGE
- CAPACITY TAG IS ILLEGIBLE OR MISSING
- OTHER VISIBLE DAMAGE WHICH CAUSES DOUBT AS TO THE STRENGTH OF THE SLING
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
- NYLON AND POLYESTER ARE SERIOUSLY DEGRADED AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE 200° F
- MANY CHEMICALS HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON NYLON AND POLYESTER, INCLUDING ACIDS, ALDEHYDES, BLEACHING AGENTS, AND ETHERS
