Twin-Path® Slings
Twin-Path® Extra Sling with CoverMax® and K-Spec® Core Yarn
TPXCF This is the world’s first truly ergonomic sling with CoverMax® covers for superior abrasion resistance. These are made in sizes up to 600 tons vertical rated capacity. Larger capacity slings are available on special order. These slings have overload indicators, inner red cover, and are used worldwide in place of wire rope slings for heavy lifts. They are approximately 10% of the weight of a steel sling. These products are repairable. The Twin-Path® patented design provides the rigger with two connections between the hook and the load for redundant back-up protection. These slings have less than 1% stretch at rated capacity. If ergonomics, productivity and safety are important, then these slings are the only choice. This is the lightest and strongest sling on the market today with K-Spec® – the longest lasting load bearing core yarn, backed by independent testing.
NOTE: Capacities shown include both paths and are for one complete sling. Sling ratings based on fittings of equal or greater capacity. Conforms to ANSI/ASME B30.9 chapter 6, NAVFAC P-307 section 14.6.4.3, and the Cordage Institute Roundsling Standard. This chart is based on a 5:1 Design Factor (DF); but any other DF can be fabricated. Higher capacity slings are available.
