Abrasion Protection for Lifting Slings
Spider Sleeve
Light Duty HMPE Sleeve to help prevent lifting sling jacket damage
DO NOT USE FOR CUT PROTECTION! FOR ABRASION PROTECTION ONLY!
Spider Sleeve reduces cover friction, enabling the sling's outer cover to glide over itself or a piece of hardware. Available in configurations such as sliding, fixed, or removable sleeve. The 100% HMPE fiber construction ensures exceptional strength and durability while maintaining an extremely low coefficient of friction. Spider Sleeve prevents jacket damage when slings are tightly choked, facilitates easy release after choking, and avoids bursting when rigging on tight or narrow hardware. Designed to eliminate the ‘bite’ of the cover, the Spider Sleeve allows the sling to glide into position in situations where the Covermax® cover comes in contact with itself or rough hardware. If your job involves challenging conditions for slings, the Spider Sleeve is a highly recommended solution.

Synthetic Armor
DO NOT USE FOR CUT PROTECTION! FOR ABRASION PROTECTION ONLY!
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. These pads can be made to fit any length or width sling. They can also be made in long lengths that the customer can cut into suitable sizes on the job. Double or triple thickness provides resistance for more severe conditions. A variety of materials is used to protect slings and loads depending on the degree of abrasion expected in the application.
Abrasion Protection Pad
DO NOT USE this Pad to protect sling from cutting on load edges, corners or protrusions. This pad WILL NOT adequately prevent damage or failure of sling if used for cut protection. Only Pads which are tested and rated for cut protection are to be used to protect sling from cutting. DEATH or INJURY can occur from improper use or maintenance. Sling users shall be trained.
Shackle Pin Pad
Shackle Pin Pad The pin area of a shackle can damage synthetic slings. Placing synthetic slings on the pin should be avoided. Shackles have a sharp edge where the pin goes through the shackle ear. If the sling is rigged on this area, it can become severely damaged. If you must rig on the pin, protect your sling with a Shackle Pin Pad. The Shackle Pin Pad is sized for the model of shackle and protects the sling along the entire pin.
Abrasion Warning
Can cause damage or failure of sling if misused or damaged. Inspect before each use. Inspect for cuts, tears or damage that may prevent protection of the sling. Be sure abrasion protection is the correct size and type to protect the sling. DEATH or INJURY can occur from improper use or maintenance.
