The setting of poles is always a tricky affair. Not only have the riggers to consider the center of gravity but also the sling must not damage the pole. As well, the sling must make a 'snug' connection and must be easy to remove. Nylon slings tend to really tighten up in choker applications and they become hard to untie especially when they get wet.

These Twin-Path® Extra slings are made to order to meet the customers' exact requirements. They have web shackles on one side, the body is contained in an extra tube, and the other side has special wear protection.
