The
Eye and Eye Advantage |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An
additional jacket of texturized, abrasion resistant
nylon covers the body of the standard Tuflex,
forming two color coded lifting eyes. |

|
|
|
Maintains
all the basic Tuflex features plus... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Saves money by extending sling life where

Do
not exceed rated capacities. Sling capacity decreases as the angle from
horizontal decreases.
Slings should not be used at angles of less than 30°. Follow instructions
below. |

THE
TUFLEX DIFFERENCE |
|
|
|
|
All Lift-All
slings meet or exceed OSHA and ASME B30.9 standards and regulations. |
|
|
|
|
What
is a Tuflex Roundsling? |
Conforms to shape of load to grip securely
Load bearing yarns protected from UV degradation
Red striped white core yarns provide added visual
warning of sling damage
Color coding provides positive sling capacity
information |
|
|
|
It
is an synthetic sling made from a skein (continuous
loop or hank) of polyester yarn covered by a double
wall tubular jacket. The roundsling body can also be
compared to sling webbing with the tubular jacket face
yarns woven without binder yarns; this allows the core
yarns to move independently within the jacket. |
|
|
|
Saves
Money
Double wall cover for greater sling life
Soft cover wont scratch load surface
Conforms to shape of load for reduced load damage
Seamless - no sewn edges to rupture prematurely,
requiring removal from service
EN360 and larger Tuflex feature Tufhide wear resistant
nylon jacket for extra sling life
Tuff-Tag provides required OSHA information for the
life of the sling, not just the life of the tag |
|
|
|
Tufhide Jacket |
|
|
|
Made
from bulked nylon fibers, the double wall Tuf-
hide jacket offers better abrasion resistance for our
larger capacity Tuflex (EN360 and larger). In addition,
Tufhide reduces the heat buildup that can damage other
high capacity roundslings when used in a choker hitch. |

Tuflex Roundslings
Features, Advantages and Benefits |
|
|
|
Saves
Time
Color coded capacities for quick identification
Light weight and pliable for easy rigging and storage
Independent core yarns choke tightly, but release
easily after use
Easy to carry - high strength to weight ratio for easy
transportation |
|
|
|
Promotes
Safety |
|
Light weight reduces fatigue and strain on riggers
Synthetic materials wont cut hands
Consistent matched lengths for better multiple sling load
control
No loss of strength from abrasion to cover
Tuff-Tag provides serial numbered identification for
traceability
Low stretch (about 3% at rated capacity) - reduces
sling and load abrasion - good for low headroom lifts |

DEFINITION |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
serves
to alert users to potentially hazardous situations which often occur in
the use of these products.
Failure to read, understand and follow the accompanying instructions on
how to avoid these situations
could result in death or serious injury. |
|
|
|
|
|
Using
slings at an angle can become deadly if that angle is not taken into consideration
when selecting the sling to
be used. The tension on each leg of the sling is increased as the angle
of lift, from horizontal, decreases. It is most
desirable for a sling to have a larger angle of lift, approaching 90°.
Lifts with angles of less than 30° from horizontal
are not recommended. If you can measure the angle of lift or the length
and height of the sling as rigged, you can
determine the properly rated sling for your lift. |

Example:
Vertical Choker rating of each sling = 6,000 lbs.
Measured Length (L) = 6 ft.
Measured Height (H) = 4 ft.
Reduction Factor (RF) = 4 (H) ÷ 6 (L) = .667
Reduced sling rating in this configuration = .667
(RF) x 6,000 lbs. = 4,000 lbs. of lifting capacity
per sling |
|
|
|
|
Example:
Load Weight = 1,000 lbs.
Rigging - 2 slings in vertical hitch
Lifting Weight (LW) per sling = 500 lbs.
Measured Length (L) = 10 ft.
Measured Height (H) = 5 ft.
Tension Factor (TF) = 10 (L) ÷ 5 (H) = 2.0
Minimum Vertical Rated Capacity required
for this lift = 500 (LW) x 2.0 (TF) = 1,000
lbs. per sling |
|
Sling
capacity decreases as the angle
from hjorizontal decrease. Sling angles
of less than 30° are not recommended. |
