CUT AND WEAR PROTECTION
Selection of Sling Protection Products
WARNING
Sling protection products need to be used in applications where
sling damage may occur. Cutting of synthetic slings during use
is the number one cause of sling accidents. A variety of factors
in昀氀uence sling protection performance. Since no material is fully cut
proof, a quali昀椀ed person must select materials and methods that
adequately protect slings from edges or surfaces. Lift-All can assist
customers with their product selections.
Exposure of sling to edges
with a radius that is too small
can cause sling failure and
loss of the load. Always protect
synthetic slings from being cut
or damaged by corners, edges,
and protrusions using protection
su昀케cient for each application.
Cut Protection versus Wear Protection
Lift-All sling protection products are divided into two categories, Cut Protection and Wear Protection. Cut
Protection products are designed to improve workplace safety. When placed between slings and edges, cut
protection products act as a bu昀昀er to prevent sling cutting and to reduce bearing pressure levels at contact
areas. Wear Protection products serve to extend sling life by reducing abrasive wear and preventing the
marring of load surfaces. The following table provides comparative sling protection performance for standard
Lift-All products:
