Problem solving through the creation of innovative products is an ongoing function at Slingmax® Inc.— continuous innovation along with continuous improvement.

Any material can be cut when exposed to enough pressure and
an edge. This includes diamonds, the hardest substance known.
The protection of slings used in overhead rigging to prevent
cutting and premature failure is a subject that has enormous
safety implications. It is imperative that only the very best means
be used to keep slingsfrom cutting by contact with an unprotected
edge.

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

targeted high value-added products and special high-strength rope manufacturing in order to create new products. Most notably, Neptune rope, a wire rope used in petroleum excavation, has received international acclaim for its design, raw material selection, coating and technology.

Synthetic Armor 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. These wear pads can be made to fit any length or width sling. They can also be made in long lengths which the customer can cut into suitable sizes on the job. Double or triple thickness provides resistance for the more severe conditions. There is no aximum width and a variety of materials are used to protect slings and to protect loads.
