DICA LiftGuard Sling Protectors prevent damage to slings caused by contact with abrasive edges, corners, or protrusions from loads being lifted. They also keep the sling away from other significant contact points during lifting operations.

• Made from non-metallic High-Performance Cast Nylon (HPCN)
• LiftGuard Edge Protectors attach magnetically and can be used with synthetic, wire rope or chain slings
• LiftGuard Magnetic Sling Protectors have a working load limit of 12,500 lbs per square inch of synthetic sling width (except Grooved Protectors)
• Edge protection is critical in preventing sling failure and is a requirement in current sling safety standards (OSHA 29 CFR 1910.184(c)(9) and ASME B30.9)
• Overall Length: Equates to the total end to end length of a sling protector
• Safe Operating Zone: The useable area between the raised shoulders of the sling protector
• Width at Load: Sling Width Under Load
  • Sling Total Contact Width: Round synthetic slings compress and flatten as the load is picked. Select your sling protector based on the Sling Width Under Load
  • Caution – If your sling width under load is wider than the safe operating zone, the sling will point load
• 1” Sling Capacity: The maximum capacity per lineal inch of sling contact, ASSUMING the face of the sling protector (the portion in contact with the load) is in 100% contact on both the vertical and horizontal load surfaces
• Maximum Capacity: The total capacity of the individual sling protector, ASSUMING, the sling contact width does not exceed the safe operating area, AND the face of the sling protector is in 100% contact on both the vertical and horizontal surfaces
• 1" Sling Capacity: 12,500 lbs
• Overall Length: 6"
• Max Sling Width: 4"
• Max Capacity @ Max Sling Width: 50,000 lbs

***WARNING***

• Never overload the sling protectors
• Always calculate the protector capacity based on the type of protector, the type of sling, and the contact area of the sling on the protector
• Slings should never be in contact with the rounded surface shoulder of the sling protectors - Slings must only be in contact with the flat surface of the sling protectors
• Ensure edge protectors are clean and smooth before useDO NOT use LiftGuard edge protectors that are bowed or discolored - these are signs of overloading
