G-Links TM<br />
NEW! A multi-use coupler specifically designed<br />
for connecting hardware to web, round or Twin<br />
Path ® slings. This versatile patent-pending coupler<br />
can be used to connect two slings together,<br />
as a sliding choker hook or as a two leg bridle!<br />
Always use G-Links TM of correct width and<br />
rated capacity.<br />
Two G-Links TM used together will double the<br />

<strong>Synthetic</strong> Armor Wear Pads<br />
Wear Pads protect loads and slings. These wear pads contain aramids<br />
and can be made ready to use in any length or width to fit wire rope,<br />
chain, nylon webbing, or any regular rope or sling product. They can also<br />
be made in long lengths which the customer can cut into suitable sizes on<br />
the job. Double or triple thicknesses provide cut resistance for the most<br />
severe conditions.<br />
Styles Available:<br />
• SYNARM-SL is a sliding wear pad around the sling body with sewn<br />
seams along both edges.<br />
• SYNARM-RM is a removable wear pad with a sewn seam on one edge<br />
and a hook-and-loop fastener along the other edge.<br />
• SYNARM-EE is a wear pad that fits over both legs of a Twin-Path ® sling<br />
to enable it to be used like an eye-and-eye sling (NOTE: this type of<br />
wear pad should be removed after each use so that the sling tag will be<br />
visible before each subsequent use and to permit the bearing points of<br />
the sling to be changed for each use).<br />
WIDTHS AVAILABLE: no maximum width - wear pads are assembled<br />
from 2" to 14" wide material and are sold by the running foot of length.<br />
Assembly show below is being<br />
used to unload over 1,000 tons<br />
of steel per day. TPXC sling is<br />
16ft. long with a double thick<br />
synthetic armor wear pad.<br />

This sling contains optical Tell-Tails that enable the inspector to<br />
test the integrity of the core yarns. If the Tell-Tails do not extend past<br />
the tag it may indicate severe overloading and the sling should be<br />
returned to the manufacturer for evaluation. A flashlight shone into one<br />
optical Tell-Tall will reflect from the other if the core yarns are intact. If the<br />
light does not pass from one Tell-Tall around the inside of the sling and out<br />
the other Tell-Tall, remove the sling from service and return it for repair<br />
evaluation. Patent Pending.<br />
<strong>Slings</strong> should be inspected for evidence of cutting or tearing of the outer<br />
cover. <strong>Slings</strong> with cuts should be removed from service and sent back to<br />
the manufacturer for repair evaluation. Damage to the cover may indicate<br />
core damage.<br />
Inspect slings for evidence of heat damage. <strong>Slings</strong> with polyester and<br />
aramid cores with polyester or Covermax covers should not be exposed to<br />
temperatures above 82 O C/180 O F. Aramid covered Sparkeater <strong>Slings</strong> should<br />
not be exposed to temperatures over 149 O C/300 O F. <strong>Slings</strong> with HDPE<br />
cores (Olefin) should not be exposed to temperatures above 66 O C/150 O F.<br />
Cold temperature exposure down to minus 40 O C/minus 40 O F does not<br />
effect the strength of the products.<br />
<strong>Slings</strong> using aluminum fittings shall not be used where fumes, vapors,<br />
sprays, or mists of alkalis or acids are present.<br />
Twin-Path ® Lifting <strong>Slings</strong> and any fittings attached should be the subject of<br />
frequent and regular inspections. In addition to the initial inspection by a<br />
competent person and frequent written inspections, the slings should be<br />
visually inspected before each use.<br />
Written inspections should be performed every 30 days and documents of<br />
such inspection by a competent person shall be kept on file in the safety<br />
department of the plant or site where used. Inspections may be done<br />
more often based on frequency of use, severity of conditions, experience<br />
of past service life.<br />
<strong>Slings</strong> should be examined throughout their length for abrasion, cuts, heat<br />
damage, fitting distortion or damage, tag legibility, chemical deterioration, and<br />
if any doubts are held by the inspector the sling should be removed from<br />
service. Core integrity is determined by hand inspection of the entire sling or<br />
by fiber optic light transfer if this type of tell-tail is installed in the sling.<br />
If a deterioration is found, the sling must be removed from service and<br />
returned to the manufacturer for evaluation.<br />
<strong>Slings</strong> removed from service that are not capable of repair should be<br />
destroyed and rendered completely unfit for future use.<br />

The Importance of Wear Pads<br />
Cutting is the number one cause of synthetic sling failure. If a cut sling is<br />
in use, property damage, personal injury or death can result. WEAR PADS<br />
act as a buffer between the load edge and the sling itself, greatly reducing<br />
the chance of cuts occurring.<br />
WEAR PADS used on steel slings assist in protecting the sling and load<br />
from damage along points of contact.<br />
There are w ear pads available for all types of slings:<br />
• Flat Stitched Sleeve using Extra Duty Series 9800 Webbing<br />
• Flat Fast Sleeve using Extra Duty Series 9800 Webbing<br />
Wear Pad Materials<br />
• Rough Rider leather wear pad – 5/32" thick to protect your sling.<br />
• Shark-Skin heavy duty nylon webbing 3/16" thick.<br />
• TWP – Thick White Pad – 3/8" cut resistance. <strong>Synthetic</strong> felt with high<br />
density.<br />
NOTE: Other materials are available for use as wear pads. Please contact<br />
us with your exact requirements<br />
Cut Test<br />
Pad materials were subjected to cut testing. The attached chart provides<br />
the results. Note that the density padding increases the sling cut resistance<br />
by a minimum for 20%<br />

*The cutting edge was established by utilizing a 1" thick<br />
plate. A 45° angle was machined on each side of the<br />
plate with a radius of less than .016". No sliding was<br />
allowed of the slings. The results indicate the pad<br />
protection when the slings are loaded against this edge.<br />
