Coil Steel Sling Protectors

Sling & Load Type:
Ideal for use with synthetic slings.  They can be used with wire rope and chain slings.  Designed specifically to be used when lifting loads through a bore hole. 

Specific Use:
To protect slings from damage caused by direct contact with edges, corners or protrusions of loads being lifted. Coil Units MUST fit snug into the bore.  If the unit does not fit snug, the unit could be overloaded.  Improperly fit units will lead to point loading and product failure. 

Coil Unit Details

Center Unit: The horizontal surface is convex to fit into the inside curved center of a coil of steel. The diameter of the LiftGuard unit must be sized to fit the center of the boar. Custom sizes are available for your specific needs. Improperly fit units will lead to point loading and product failure. 

Top Unit: Both the horizontal and vertical surfaces are flat, neither surface is curved. The horizontal surface is deeper than the vertical face.  This design allows for the “standoff” of both the center and top coil protectors to be the same distance from the steel coil.   

  • Magnets – There are 3 magnets in both the Center and Top units.   
  • (2) magnets on the vertical surface – This is the where the protector will be in “flat” contact with the steel coil.  
  • (1) magnet (centered) on the horizontal (radius) surface – This is where good contact can be assured. 

Configuration 

  • (2) Center Units & (2) Top Units are needed when lifting coils of steel 
  • (2) Center units are place in the center bore opposing each other. 
  • (2) Top Units are placed on top of the coil, opposing each other.

Products

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.
