Sling Protective Sleeves secutex Cut Protection

Description

Secutex Sling Protective Sleeves

Secutex has been perfectly formulated with the optimum balance between flexibility, elasticity and toughness to protect synthetic slings from sharp edges and abrasion.

The sleeve grips the edge of the load, allowing the sling to move within the Secutex to self centre and adjust to the centre of gravity. This feature also allows the rotation of sharp objects, such as steel coils, without damage to the sling or products.

Sharp Edges

Slings attached directly around loads or structures. These can potentially move or slide when adjusting to the centre of gravity and as such represent the greatest risk and therefore demand higher radius criteria than attachment fittings.

What is a sharp edge?

If the radius (r) of the edge of the load is less than 3 times the compressed thickness (d) of the sling (AS4497).

Sharp edges can take many forms and are not limited to an obvious razor sharp profile, these may also include:

• Objects with rough corners and edges such as rusted steel or scrap etc
• Objects with machined edges such as dies and tools etc
• Objects with rolled edges but not of sufficient diameter such as steel beams etc
