Beam & Plate Protectors

Slings & Load Type:
Ideal for use with synthetic slings.  They can be used with wire rope and chain slings. Designed specifically for use with horizontal edges such as I-beams and steel plates.  

Specific Use:

To protect slings from damage caused by direct contact with edges, corners or protrusions of loads being lifted.

Beam & Plate Units MUST fit snug, and all three interior surfaces of the plate and I-beam protector MUST be in full contact with the load. If the grooved unit does not fit snug, the edge of the I-beam or plate may create a point load. Point loading can exceed the materials capacity and cause the product to fail. 

  • (4) Beam & Plate Units are needed at each lift point of an I-Beam. 
  • (2) units on the bottom flange. 
  • (2) units on the top flange. 
  • (8) units are needed to pick I-Beams from (2) pick Points. 

Steel Plate: Groove size MUST match the plate thickness. Custom sizes are available for your specific needs. Beam & Plate units must be snug.  Improperly fit units will lead to point loading and potentially product failure. 

  • (4) total units are typically needed when lifting steel plates. 
  • (1) Beam & Plate unit is needed per contact point.

Overall Length: Equates to the total end to end length of a sling protector.
Safe Operating Zone: The useable area between the raised shoulders of the sling protector (see image below).
Width at Load: Sling Width Under Load.

o   Sling Total Contact Width: Round synthetic slings compress and flatten as the load is picked. Select your sling protector based on the Sling Width Under Load.

o   Caution – If your sling width under load is wider than the safe operating zone, the sling will point load. (see image below)

1” Sling Capacity: The maximum capacity per lineal inch of sling contact, ASSUMING the face of the sling protector (the portion in contact with the load) is in 100% contact on both the vertical and horizontal load surfaces.

Maximum Capacity: The total capacity of the individual sling protector, ASSUMING, the sling contact width does not exceed the safe operating area, AND the face of the sling protector is in 100% contact on both the vertical and horizontal surfaces.
