Tuflex
Braided Roundslings are made from three [6 part]
or four [8 part] individual Tuflex. Should one
of these
component slings be damaged while in use, the remaining
undamaged slings should be able to safely return the load
to the ground. |

|
|
|
|
|
Large capacity slings are generally purchased for one
major lift, then rarely used again. Braided
roundslings
can be disassembled into component slings for general
purpose lifting, if individual slings are
correctly tagged. |
|
 |
|
|
|
Can be returned for disassembly, inspection and
retagging as individual slings. |

How
To Order |
|
|
|
Ordering
length should be based on sling at rest. |
|
|
|
Braided
length tolerance is +/- 5% of the ordered length
(sling at rest). |
|
|
|
At
its rated capacity, braided will stretch approximately 9%
and have a length variance of +/- 2%. |

Slings should not be used at angles of less than 30°. Follow

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 won’t 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 Tufhide
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 won’t 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

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. |
