Andrea: Hello and thanks for joining us on Quick Tips from MSC Industrial Supply, a show where we invite the community to share their expertise with us. Today, we have some insights from Lift-All on cut protection for slings and some products that might just help you with better lifting. Let's take a look.
Narrator: Let's talk about the benefits of using Lift-All’s Edge Defender cut protection products. The most frequent cause of sling-related accidents are slings being cut due to a failure to use appropriate sling cut protection when it is needed.
Our standard Edge Defender products combine heavy-duty webbing with cut-resistant materials and patented construction technology that allows the pad to conform to the shape of the load while providing a superior level of cut protection. The hook-and-loop cross straps create an open design that allows easy access for frequent sling inspection.
Edge Defender Flex Plus offers the same reliable cut protection as our standard Edge Defender with an added bonus of a flexible, thinner and lighter body. A double-ply layer of Dyneema along with Kevlar Aramid binding makes these pads suitable for handling loads with straight, curved or non-uniform shaped edges.
Sling Shield offers the highest level of cut protection. This patented Lift-All product is constructed with a low-weight, high-strength aluminum center that provides a one-inch bend radius and polycarbonate end retainers.
The magnetic qualities allow you to easily position your sling shield against steel loads while Velcro strips hold your sling in position.
