It is made with K-Spec ® high performance fibers, and it has a bulked nylonouter cover (Covermax ® ) that is very abrasion resistant.These are made <strong>in</strong> sizes up to 500,000 lbs. vertical ratedcapacity. Extra Heavy Duty Covermax ® is used on 40,000lb. vertical capacity and higher. All of these <strong>sl<strong>in</strong>gs</strong> haveoverload tell-tails, <strong>in</strong>ner red cover, and are used worldwide<strong>in</strong> place of cha<strong>in</strong> and wire rope <strong>sl<strong>in</strong>gs</strong> for heavy lifts.Also, they are repairable. They have fiber optics for <strong>in</strong>spection.The Tw<strong>in</strong>-Path ® patented design provides the rigger withredundant protection <strong>in</strong> the event that one path is cut. These <strong>sl<strong>in</strong>gs</strong>have 1% stretch at rated capacity and are made <strong>in</strong> matched lengths.These <strong>sl<strong>in</strong>gs</strong> conform to ASME B30.9 Chapter six and US Navy NAV-FAC P-307 Section 14.

See page 6.CHECK-FAST ® INSPECTION SYSTEMUS Patent Pend<strong>in</strong>g 60/683,987The ✓Fast ® System is designed to improvejob-site safety. The ✓Fast ® Tag and ExternalWarn<strong>in</strong>g Indicator (EWI) on a roundsl<strong>in</strong>gproduct provides for a pass/fail <strong>in</strong>spection ofthe <strong>in</strong>ternal load bear<strong>in</strong>g core yarn. Damageto the core yarn from fiber on fiber abrasion,fatigue, and severe overload can be detected. If the sl<strong>in</strong>g is mistakenlyoverloaded beyond rated capacity, the EWI is designed to disappear beforethe sl<strong>in</strong>g fails. The <strong>in</strong>spector no longer has to feel and squeezearound the entire sl<strong>in</strong>g to guess if the core has been severely overloaded.This safety system is available for polyester or High PerformanceK-Spec ® Fiber Round<strong>sl<strong>in</strong>gs</strong> fabricated by authorized Sl<strong>in</strong>gmax ®Dealers. See pages 7.SPARKEATER ® SYNTHETIC SLINGSUS Patent #4,850,629 CN #1,280,458SE When you have a hot environment up to 300°F, use aSparkeater ® to lift the load without marr<strong>in</strong>g the surface ofthe lifted piece. Also, when do<strong>in</strong>g stage rigg<strong>in</strong>g order thisproduct for the protection it gives from exposure to fire,heat, sparks and pyrotechnics. Just specify black color forthe theater or yellow for all other applications. These <strong>sl<strong>in</strong>gs</strong> are madewith Aramid high performance core yarns. Available <strong>in</strong> capacities of2,000 to 90,000 lbs. When lift<strong>in</strong>g heated steel, wire rope or cha<strong>in</strong> <strong>sl<strong>in</strong>gs</strong>might scratch the load caus<strong>in</strong>g expensive rework. Fire exposure test<strong>in</strong>gwas performed by London Scientific and the product was identifiedas be<strong>in</strong>g as good as wire rope or cha<strong>in</strong> for use <strong>in</strong> off-shore applications<strong>in</strong> the oil <strong>in</strong>dustry.

When the load is lifted the r<strong>in</strong>g moves over theCOG to balance and level the object. We developed thistool <strong>in</strong> conjunction with riggers <strong>in</strong> the field for lift<strong>in</strong>g objectswith uneven geometric proportions or off center balancepo<strong>in</strong>ts. The Tw<strong>in</strong>-Path ® Sl<strong>in</strong>g may be permanentlyattached to the r<strong>in</strong>g, or <strong>in</strong> the field us<strong>in</strong>g a G-L<strong>in</strong>k TM connector.The G-L<strong>in</strong>k TM or the permanent attachment keepsthe <strong>sl<strong>in</strong>gs</strong> <strong>in</strong> the same plane as the r<strong>in</strong>g which is the ideal form of connection.See pages 11-12.FIBER OPTIC INSPECTIONUS Patent #4,850,629 #5,651,572 CN #1,280.458 #2,195,393Italy #97300367.6 Japan #2929431 Australia #707924Tw<strong>in</strong>-Path ® <strong>sl<strong>in</strong>gs</strong> can be made withoptional Fiber Optic <strong>in</strong>spection.
