TPXC – This is the worlds first truly ergonomic sling. It has a bulked nylon outer cover for superior abrasion resistance. These are made in sizes up to 300,000 lbs. vertical rated capacity. Larger capacity slings are available on special order. Extra Heavy Duty Covermax is standard on 100,000 lb. vertical capacity and higher. These slings have overload tell-tails, our Fiber Optic Inspection System, inner red cover, and are used worldwide in place of wire rope slings for heavy lifts. They are about 15% of the weight of a steel sling. These products are repairable. The Twin-Path® patented design provides the rigger with two connections between the hook and the load for redundant back-up protection. These slings have 1% stretch at rated capacity compared to braided polyester round slings which can stretch up to 9%. This is the lightest and strongest sling on the market today with K-Spec™ the longest lasting load bearing core yarn, backed by independent testing.
