UHMPE PROLINE12™ Rope Slings - Eye & Eye

Bulked Nylon (Cordura®) Eye Sleeves are provided at no additional charge in all sling eyes. SX Eye Sleeves are provided for an additional charge and combine the light weight and non-absorbing UHMPE properties into a braided sleeve. Dyneema® Eye Sleeves are available for an additional charge and are more cut resistant than Cordura® and/or SX Eye Sleeves.

Body covers are provided for an additional charge and may prevent abrasion damage and the penetration of dirt and debris into the rope fibers. Velcro® closure enables easy installation and removal, streamlining sling inspection. Body Covers are captivated at each sling end by Retainer Straps which prevent the cover from shifting.

WARNING!

Do not use Lift-It^® PROLINE12^® UHMPE Rope Slings in contact with objects or at temperatures above 140°F (60°C) or below -40°F (-40°C).

WARNING!

Choke point protection for UHMPE Rope Slings is mandatory!

When UHMPE Rope Slings are used in a choker hitch, protection MUST be properly placed at the choke point to reduce friction and prevent rope-on-rope damage. Endless UHMPE Rope Slings will require additional or larger protection devices to cover all rope components at the choke point.

The protection must always be of sufficient strength, thickness and construction, such as but not limited to Cornermax^® Sleeve (depicted).

A qualified person and/or properly informed and trained consumer must determine protection adequacy.

WARNING!

See the User Guide that accompanies PROLINE12® slings for Important Safety, Use and Inspection Information.

PROLINE12^TM UHMPE Adjustable Rope Slings replace multiple, “non-adjustable” slings by accommodating a range of dimensional requirements with infinite adjustability. Available in single, double, three and four leg configurations, PROLINE12^TM UHMPE Adjustable Rope Slings are made from single braid, twelve strand, low elongation high performance synthetic rope. Stock lengths are shown below, however custom lengths and adjustment ranges are readily available.

UHMPE Adjustable Rope Slings provide higher Work Load Limits than standard, polyester adjustable rope slings. PROLINE12^TM PROLINE12^TM UHMPE Adjustable Rope Slings are treated with a coating to enhance abrasion and UV degradation resistance.

Lift-It^® PROLINE12^TM UHMPE Adjustable Rope Slings feature wear protection sleeves in the lift and connection eyes.

WARNING! 

REFER TO THE SPECIFIC PRODUCT SAFETY BULLETIN (CURRENT REV) FOR IMPORTANT, ADDITIONAL INSPECTION CRITERIA.

For slings and rigging hardware refer to OSHA, ASME and manufacturer's inspection and removal information.

The use of damaged Recovery Products, slings, rigging hardware and/or protection may result in SEVERE INJURY or DEATH.
The strength and performance of Recovery Products, slings, rigging hardware and/or protection is affected by use, wear and/or damage. It is critically important that users employ a three stage inspection procedure: Initial, Frequent and Periodic, performed by
a qualified person.

If damage is identified during an inspection, damaged items must be immediately removed from service and not be returned until approved by a qualified person.

You may have encountered removal from service criteria for specific rope slings and rigging hardware permitting continued use at an acceptable level of wear and/or damage, provided it does not exceed specific limits. Quantifying an acceptable level of loss based on the original size may be difficult, especially in the field. Always consider the cost of failure and determine if the use of any item with “acceptable levels” of damage is worth the risk, given the potentially damaging and/or deadly consequences. Always ask yourself, “What’s the cost of failure?”

Visual inspection cannot accurately determine the residual strength of Recovery Products, slings, rigging hardware and/or protection. Contact your Lift-It^® professional for more information on inspection training. A viable inspection program not only saves lives, but will enable personnel to make informed decisions that will enhance safety and Recovery Product performance.

Removal from Service Criteria

The following removal criteria must be used when inspecting Lift-It® Recovery Products. Immediately remove from service if any of these conditions are present:

• Missing or illegible Recovery Product identification.

Recovery Products must be identified or labeled with the following information:

• name or trademark of manufacturer, or if repaired, the entity performing repairs
• manufacturer’s code or stock number
• rated load for at least one hitch type and the angle upon which it is based (i.e., straight-line / vertical)
• type of fiber material
• SLBS (Straight Line Break Strength) and Design Factors; 5:1 & 3:1
• Cuts, gouges, areas of extensive fiber breakage along the length and abraded areas on the rope.
• Any damage that is estimated to have reduced the effective diameter of the rope. (What’s the cost of failure?).
• Uniform fiber breakage along the major part of the length of the rope such that the entire rope appears covered with fuzz or whiskers.
• Inside the rope, fiber breakage, fused or melted fiber (observed by prying or twisting to open the strands) involving damage of the fiber in any strand or the rope as a whole. (What’s the cost of failure?).
• Discoloration, brittle fibers and hard or stiff areas that may indicate chemical damage, ultraviolet damage or heat damage.
• Dirt and grit in the interior of the rope structure.
• Foreign matter that has permeated the rope and makes it difficult to handle and may attract and hold grit.
• Kinks or distortion in the rope structure, particularly if caused by forcibly pulling on loops (known as hockles).
• Melted, hard, or charred areas. (What’s the cost of failure?).
• Poor condition of thimbles or other components manifested by corrosion, cracks, distortion, sharp edges, or localized wear.
• Modifications to any item done by someone other than the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) shall not be done.
• Lock Stitch Thread and/or Whipping Thread that is broken, cut or damaged.
• Damaged Eye Splices: Broken Strands at the leg juncture, surface wear in the eye, flattening, and/or splice slippage.
• Other conditions including visible damage that cause doubt as to the continued use of the Recovery Products
• For slings, removal criteria as stated in ASME B30.9.
• For hooks, removal criteria as stated in ASME B30.10.
• For rigging hardware, removal criteria as stated in ASME B30.26.

Qualified person: A person, who by possession of a recognized degree or certificate of professional standing in an applicable field, or who, by extensive knowledge, training and experience, has successfully demonstrated the ability to solve or resolve problems relating to the subject matter and work.
