Innovative Lifting Solutions<br />
TWIN-PATH ® ADJUSTABLE<br />
BRIDLE SLING<br />
US Patent #4,850,629 & #5,651,573<br />
TPXA or TPA <strong>Th<strong>is</strong></strong> <strong>to</strong>ol <strong>is</strong> an aid <strong>to</strong> finding<br />
the center of gravity when lifting objects<br />
with uneven geometric proportions or offcenter<br />
balance points. When the load <strong>is</strong><br />
lifted, the ring moves over the COG <strong>to</strong><br />
balance and level the object. The Twin-<br />
Path ® may be permanently attached <strong>to</strong> the<br />
ring, or use a G-Link for the connection.<br />
See page 11.<br />
SPARKEATER ® SYNTHETIC SLINGS<br />
US Patent #4,850,629<br />
SE For hot environments up <strong>to</strong> 300°F, the<br />
Sparkeater ® lifts the load without marring<br />
the surface of the lifted piece. Excellent for<br />
stage rigging, th<strong>is</strong> product offers protection<br />
from exposure <strong>to</strong> fire, heat, sparks and<br />
pyrotechnics. Made from Nomex ® for the<br />
cover and Aramid high performance core<br />
yarns. Rated capacities of 2,000 lbs. <strong>to</strong><br />
30,000 lbs. Fire exposure testing was<br />
performed by London Scientific and the<br />
product was identified as being as good as<br />
wire rope or chain for use in off shore<br />
applications in the oil industry. See page 13.<br />
FIBER OPTIC<br />
INSPECTION OPTION<br />
US Patent #5,651,572<br />
FO All of the Twin-Path ®<br />
slings have the Fiber Optic<br />
inspection system. The fiber<br />
optic cable will conduct light<br />
using natural, overhead or flashlight sources. The condition<br />
of the internal core yarn can be inspected by checking the<br />
continuity of the fiber optic cable. If heat, chemicals,<br />
crushing or cutting has occurred, the damage <strong>to</strong> the fiber<br />
optic cable will destroy its ability <strong>to</strong> transmit light from one<br />
end <strong>to</strong> the other. <strong>Th<strong>is</strong></strong> gives the inspec<strong>to</strong>r a reason <strong>to</strong><br />
remove the sling from service and send it for repair<br />
evaluation. See page 8.<br />
CORNERMAX<br />
US Patent #5,651,573<br />
& Patents Pending<br />
The Cornermax cut<br />
protection device prevents<br />
a sharp edge on the load<br />
from <strong>to</strong>uching the sling.<br />
In fact, the sharp edge<br />
doesn't even <strong>to</strong>uch the Cornermax protec<strong>to</strong>r! <strong>Th<strong>is</strong></strong> protec<strong>to</strong>r<br />
will handle the most extreme circumstances lifting steel and<br />
concrete. See page 14.<br />

YOUR SLING AND RIGGING SPECIALIST<br />
SYNTHETIC ARMOR<br />
WEAR PADS<br />
For extra protection for<br />
synthetic, wire rope, and<br />
chain slings, we have<br />
available an assortment of<br />
materials that we<br />
incorporate in our Synthetic<br />
Armor Wear Pads. These are primarily for abrasion or wear<br />
protection but can be used for cut protection in many cases.<br />
Not only will these wear pads keep the load from damaging<br />
the slings, but they will also protect the load from being<br />
scratched by the slings. See page 14.<br />
G-LINK CONNECTORS<br />
US Patent #5,651,573 & Patents Pending<br />
<strong>Th<strong>is</strong></strong> <strong>is</strong> the only universal coupler<br />
designed <strong>to</strong> fulfill all the needs of riggers<br />
in the field! You can use it on Twin-<br />
Path ®, Web and Single Path Round<br />
Slings for attaching hooks, rings, two<br />
slings <strong>to</strong>gether, as a sliding choker<br />
connection, as an adjustable sling, or as<br />
a choke lock connection. No parts, bolts, nuts, cotters, pins,<br />
or anything <strong>to</strong> look for. The G-Link connec<strong>to</strong>r keeps<br />
hardware such as hooks or rings in the same plane as the<br />
sling. See page 15.<br />
TRI-FLEX ® WIRE ROPE SLING<br />
US Patent #4,043,581<br />
<strong>Th<strong>is</strong></strong> <strong>is</strong> a three-part wire rope sling<br />
developed for strength combined with<br />
greater flexibility. Replaces large<br />
diameter single-part wire rope slings<br />
which are awkward and stiff. Tri-Flex ®<br />
Slings are manufactured in sizes from 1<br />
<strong>to</strong>n <strong>to</strong> 150 <strong>to</strong>n capacity. Steel erec<strong>to</strong>rs,<br />
millwrights and riggers use Tri-Flex ®<br />
slings for everything from steel erection<br />
and machinery moving <strong>to</strong> heavy lifts of<br />
200 <strong>to</strong>ns or more. These slings are<br />
made in matching lengths.<br />
See page 24.<br />
TRI-FLEX ® WIRE ROPE<br />
US Patent #4,043,581<br />
Tri-Flex ® Wire Rope <strong>is</strong> a three-part<br />
wire rope made in lengths up <strong>to</strong><br />
200' installed on winches for<br />
barges, tugs and car pullers. It<br />
wraps snugly around the winch<br />
hub because it has greater<br />
flexibility than standard wire rope.<br />
Order by specifying rated capacity or fin<strong>is</strong>hed diameter, and<br />
required end attachment.
