3" Wide Polyester Max Edge™ Eye & Eye Sling | 2 Ply

Polyester Max Edge™ Eye and Eye slings can be used in choker, vertical and basket hitches. Slings with Half Twist (Type 4) eyes are furnished unless Flat (Type 3) eyes are specified. Sling eyes will be wrapped at the bearing point (Order Code J), unless otherwise specified.

Tapered eyes are automatically furnished on slings over 2 inches wide to provide for a proper relationship between the sling eyes and the lifting hardware. Eyes with no tapering are available.

The bearing points of Half Twist (Type 4) eyes are oriented 90° to the sling body. The perpendicular relationship between the eye and sling body in Half Twist, Type 4 eyes results in a comparatively advantageous choke hitch, when compared to Flat (Type 3) eyes. Half Twist eyes perform equally well in vertical or basket hitches.

For Half Twist Eyes with no taper, specify "HT" (EE1-902PME HT) Eye Width-2"

Slings can be damaged and cut when lifting on load edges, corners, protrusions or over abrasive surfaces. The sling must ALWAYS be protected with materials of sufficient strength, thickness and construction to prevent damage and catastrophic sling failure. Sling protection must be installed and evaluated for suitability by raising the load slightly, and then lowering the load for an inspection of the sling and the protection devices. Several "test" lifts, inspections and evaluations may be necessary to determine the proper form of protection for a successful lift. Damaged or misused sling protection can result in sling failure. Inspect the sling protection before each use and remove if damaged. Be sure the Sling Protection is the correct type and size to protect the sling. The length of the sleeve or protection material(s) must not interfere with the sling closing to the full gripping position on the load. Sling protection may not prevent cutting or other forms of sling damage. To avoid severe personal injury or death, personnel should be kept away from the load and never be under or near the load, while it is being lifted or suspended.
