SlingMax® CornerMax Wear Pads
Abrasion protection requires a wear pad to protect a length of sling from exposure to a wide abrasive surface, such as concrete. Exposure of the sling to a sharp corner requires a wear pad that is not susceptible to cutting.
After isolating the difference in the requirements, it was apparent that our Synthetic Armor Wear Pad was adequate for abrasion protection. A new type of wear pad was developed to improve the protection of the sling when exposed to steel corners, the CornerMax™ wear pad. The principle behind this invention is the formation of a tunnel between the pad and the edge, greatly reducing the possibility of cutting. For many projects, both the Synthetic Armor and CornerMax™ wear pads will be needed. The photo on the right shows the formation of a tunnel between the steel edge and the CornerMax™wear pad.
