RS Industrial Services Ltd suppliers of Twin-Path Slings, the world’s first truly ergonomic sling

At R S Cranes, we believe we can solve your rigging problems with our synthetic solutions, like our Twin-Path slings, plus sling protection with Cornermax cut protectors.

Twin-Path® Slings

Twin-Path sling

Twin-Path® Extra Covermax™ slings are constructed with a bulked nylon outer cover for superior abrasion resistance and high performance K-Spec® internal core yarns.

These slings have overload tell-tails, fiber optic inspection, contrasting inner red cover and are repairable - 10% the weight of a comparable steel sling.

K-Spec® is the longest lasting load bearing core yarn, backed by independent testing.

There are 2 kinds of tell-tale indicators - one to warn of overload and a fibre optic to warn of core fibre damage Twin Path slings are actually two slings in one - there is a unique backup protection The separate inner covershows red for warning that the sling is damaged and should be taken out of service Twin-Path slings are repaired with patches like this - each sling is proof tested after a repair

Safety Advantages

Safety Advantages

Twin-Path slings have the Fiber Optic Inspection System.

The condition of the internal core yarn can be inspected just by checking the continuity of the fiber optic cable - if crushing or cutting, heat or chemical damage has occurred then the damage to the fiber optic cable will destroy its ability to transmit light from one end to the other.

This gives the inspector a reason to remove the sling from service andsend it for repair evaluation.

Tell-Tails should extend past the tag area of each sling. If both Tell-Tails are not visible, remove the sling from service - if any part of the sling shows evidence of chemical degradation, remove it from service.

Edge and Wear Protection

Synthetic Armor Pads (abrasion resistance)

Synthetic Armor pads 1 Synthetic Armor pads 2 These pads protect slings from abrasion damage which can be caused by contact with rough surfaces such as concrete beams and structures they are also used to protect finished or painted loads from marring

CornerMax

Corner max Edge Protection Edge protecting - handling the most extreme lifting circumstances

All Cornermax pads are approx 9 inches in length unless otherwise specified

Shackle Pin Pads

Shackle Pin Pads The Shackle Pin Pad is the latest Slingmax solution to ensure the ultimate rigging safety of our customers - if you must rig on the pin, protect your sling with a Slingmax pin pad

Cornermax Pads

Cornermax Pads 1

Exposure of a sling to load edges or corners requires a wear pad that is not susceptible to cutting because of toughness or zero contact.

The CornerMax Pad forms a tunnel between the load edge and the pad.

This geometric separation is essential in protecting the pad itself from contacting the load edge, which provides maximum protection to the sling.

Cornermax Pads 2

Adjustable Bridle Sling

The Twin-Path Adjustable Bridle Sling is a multi-purpose rigging tool and it’s important that it is used properly. The adjustment ring has a double sling on one-side and a single sling on the other side.

Adjustable Bridle Sling 1 Adjustable Bridle Sling 2
If the lifting points are an equal-distance from the centre of gravity then the Twin-Path Adjustable can be hooked up with the double or single sling on either lifting point If one of the lifting points is closer to the centre of gravity, then attach the double sling to the lifting point - if the Twin- Path Adjustable is attached so that the single sling is nearest to the centre of gravity, it will not allow the lift to be made

Adjustable Bridle Sling 3 Adjustable Bridle Sling 4
If the lifting points are an equal-distance from the centre of gravity but one is higher, then the double sling should be attached to the higher lifting point Never use the Twin-Path Adjustable Bridle in situations where the sling-to-hook angle is greater than 45deg - always connect above the centre of gravity
