About Liftrix

A larger bend radius helps reduce stress concentration on the sling. No additional edge deration applies under this loading condition.

Synthetic slings on bevelled or sharp edges must be assessed for surface condition. Use suitable edge protection to help reduce sling damage and cutting.

Suitable edge protection such as timber, thick rubber, sleeves, or corner protectors can help spread the load more evenly, reduce corner loading forces, and assist in protecting chains, slings, and wire ropes from damage caused by sharp or tight edges.

Synthetic sling failure on edges cannot be predicted by WLL alone. Sharp or square edges may cut fibres below rated capacity. Assess the edge condition and use suitable edge protection before lifting.
