Product Information

Full details

This SecureFix Direct Simplex Web Sling is designed for professionals needing a robust yet lightweight lifting solution for loads up to 2 tons. Its primary benefit lies in its flexibility and safety compared to traditional chain or wire slings, offering a wider surface area for better grip and load distribution, especially on fragile items. A key consideration is ensuring the sling's working load limit (WLL) is not exceeded and that it is used with appropriate lifting accessories.

FAQs

What is the difference between a Simplex and a Duplex web sling?

A Simplex web sling is a single-ply sling, while a Duplex web sling is a two-ply sling. The Simplex offers a wider web for better load distribution, whereas Duplex slings generally offer higher WLL for the same width and are more abrasion-resistant.

Can I use this sling for high-temperature applications?

Web slings are generally not recommended for use in extremely high temperatures. Consult the manufacturer's guidelines for specific temperature limitations. For high-heat environments, consider metal slings.

How often should I inspect the sling?

A visual inspection should be performed before each use. More detailed periodic inspections should be conducted regularly by a qualified person, depending on the frequency and severity of use.

What does a 7:1 Factor of Safety mean?

It means the sling is designed and tested to withstand a load that is seven times greater than its rated Working Load Limit (WLL). This provides a significant margin of safety during operation.

What happens if the sling gets wet?

Most web slings, including this one, can get wet. However, they should be thoroughly air-dried before storage to prevent mildew or degradation. Ensure no chemicals are present in the water.

Can I modify the sling?

No, modifications to the sling, such as shortening or adding stitching, are strictly prohibited and will void its safety rating and warranty.

What is the typical lifespan of a web sling?

The lifespan varies greatly depending on usage, inspection frequency, and storage conditions. A well-maintained sling used within its limits can last for many years, but it must be retired immediately if any damage is detected.

Troubleshooting

Sling appears worn or damaged

Immediately remove the sling from service. Inspect for cuts, abrasions, chemical burns, or heat damage. If damage is significant, it must be retired and replaced.

Load feels unstable during lift

Ensure the correct hitch is used and that the load is balanced. Check that the sling is not twisted and that the attachment points are secure and properly seated.

Sling is difficult to attach to lifting point

Ensure the lifting point is correctly sized for the sling's eye. Check for any debris or damage on the sling's eye or the lifting hardware.

Sling is contaminated with oil or chemicals

Clean the sling according to care instructions. If the contamination is severe or involves aggressive chemicals, the sling's integrity may be compromised and it should be removed from service.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Safer to use due to lower weight and shock absorption.
  • Easier to handle and transport compared to metal alternatives.
  • Flexible design conforms to load shapes without causing damage.
  • Wider surface area provides better grip and load distribution.
  • No hidden corrosion issues; easy visual safety checks.

Cons

  • Can be susceptible to abrasion or cuts if not protected on sharp edges.
  • Requires specific storage conditions to prevent UV degradation or chemical damage.
  • Not suitable for extremely high-temperature environments.
  • Requires careful inspection for wear before each use.
  • May not be suitable for applications requiring extreme rigidity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Inspect Thoroughly: Before each use, visually inspect the entire sling for any signs of wear, cuts, abrasions, chemical damage, or excessive heat exposure.
  2. Select Appropriate Lifting Method: Choose the correct hitch (vertical, choker, or basket) based on the load's shape and weight distribution.
  3. Ensure Secure Attachment: Pass the reinforced eyes over lifting hooks or attach to other rigging hardware, ensuring a snug fit without pinching.
  4. Consider Load Protection: For loads with sharp edges, always use protective sleeves or corner protectors to prevent sling damage.

Compatibility:

  • This sling is designed for use with standard lifting hardware such as hooks, shackles, and eye bolts.
  • Ensure all connecting hardware has a working load limit equal to or greater than the sling's 2-ton capacity.
  • Simplex slings, protective webbing sleeves, corner protectors, hooks, and fittings are available for various lifting needs.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents.
  • Storage: Store in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and sources of chemical contamination. Hang slings or store them flat; do not fold sharply.
  • Periodic Inspection: Regularly check for damage, and retire the sling if any significant wear or damage is observed, following manufacturer guidelines and local regulations.
