Synthetic Slings
Twin-Path® Synthetic roundslings for heavy lifting by Slingmax® Rigging Solutions are the only synthetic roundslings available that come equipped with the Check-Fast® External Warning Indicator, Covermax® Cover, and Rifled Cover® technology. Slingmax has been a trusted supplier of high performance synthetic roundslings to the industrial and heavy lifting markets since 1986. Think Twin-Path slings for all your heavy lifting and rigging needs.
NOTE: Experts agree that over 80% of synthetic sling accidents are caused by cutting; always be SURE you have the correct Sling Protection for your specific lift!
Twin-Path® synthetic roundslings have Check-Fast Inspection overload indicators, Covermax Covers for superior abrasion resistance, and inner red covers as an aid to inspection. They are approximately 10% of the weight of a steel sling and are repairable.
The Twin-Path Adjustable Bridle (TPXA with K-Spec fiber core yarn or TPA with polyester core yarn) is a two-leg bridle made with a Twin-Path roundsling and adjustable bridle ring. When tension is applied to the Twin-Path Adjustable Bridle, it self-adjusts until the lifting point is over the center of gravity (COG). This allows the two legs to be adjusted for a level lift without the need for custom slings or hardware.
The Twin-Path Field Taper is a removable, repositionable wrap that reduces the width of TPXCF slings onsite. This is a tool that can be utilized to fit a sling into smaller openings without sacrificing sling capacity.
The Check-Fast Inspection System is designed to improve job site safety. The Check-Fast External Warning Indicator (EWI) provides a criteria for pass/fail inspection when the internal load-bearing core yarn may be damaged. The Check-Fast Inspection System can also indicate ultraviolet (UV) light degradation, fiber-on-fiber abrasion, fatigue, and severe overload.
Rifled Cover Technology is a major patented breakthrough only available on Slingmax Twin-Path high-performance fiber roundslings. Rifled Cover Technology works like the inside of a rifle barrel, where the bullet spins as it leaves the muzzle of the gun. The helical winding of the core fibers significantly improves strength and efficiency.
- Check-Fast Inspection System provides a pass/fail (Go/No-Go) inspection. If overloaded the External Warning Indicator disappears before the sling fails.
- The separate inner cover shows red for warning that the sling is damaged and should be taken out of service for repair.
- Twin-Path Slings are repaired with patches. Each sling is proof tested after any type of repair.
- Older slings may have two kinds of indicators. Tell-Tails warn of overload and Fiber Optics warn of core yarn damage.
Helix high performance fiber roundslings are narrow width heavy lift slings designed to fit in lifting hardware with limited space.Helix lifting slings utilizes K-Spec core fiber, the strongest and most trusted roundsling core yarn on the market.
The ONYX sling is a lightweight, high-performance roundsling engineered with a 100% HMPE fiber core. Built to enhance safety, improve productivity, and simplify rigging, ONYX is the go-to solution for applications where low weight, high strength, and long-term durability are essential.
Single-Path synthetic roundslings have Check-Fast Inspection overload indicators,Covermax Covers for superior abrasion resistance, and inner red covers as an aid to inspection.
RecoveryMax Pro is purpose-built for the toughest industrial recoveries—from extracting mining trucks mired in mud to pulling dozers and loaders stuck in soft ground. Powered by Slingmax high-performance O-Spec HMPE core yarn, it delivers immense strength at a fraction of the weight of steel chain or wire rope, making every recovery faster, safer, and easier to execute.
The Sparkeater sling (SE) is the sling to use when the job site is in a hot environment (up to 300°F or 150°C). These slings are made with high-temperature core yarns and a high temperature cover.
