New huge slingmax 12' twin-path k-spec sling tpxc 10000
This listing is for One Brand New SlingMax 12 Foot Twin-Path, Extra Heavy Duty CoverMax, K-Spec Fiber Core Yarn, Vertical Lifting Sling with CheckFast External (overload) Warning Indicator, and Fiber Optic Inspection System; Catalog Number TPXC 10000, Serial Number 90037 4, Manufactured July 2008, and certified by Carpenter Rigging.
This item was received in a load of salvage freight recently. Other than a few light smudges of surface dirt, it is brand new in every respect. Great for serious overhead lifting or as a handy leash to walk your pet rhinoceros. From everything I can read about them, these slings have 2.75 times greater strength-to-bulk ratio than nylon, with only about 1/10 the stretch at rated capacity. Supposed to be state-of-the-art stuff. The online list price for this 12 foot TPXC 10000 is over $3,200, so if you don't grab it somebody else will.
TWIN-PATH EXTRA SLINGS WITH COVERMAX AND K-SPEC CORE YARN
This is our best synthetic sling. It is made with K-Spec high performance fibers, and it has a bulked nylon outer cover (Covermax) that is very abrasion resistant. Extra Heavy Duty Covermax is used on 40,000 lb. vertical capacity and higher. All of these slings have overload tell-tails, inner red cover, and are used worldwide in place of chain and wire rope slings for heavy lifts. Also, they are repairable. They have fiber optics for inspection. The Twin-Path patented design provides the rigger with redundant protection in the event that one path is cut. These slings have 1% stretch at rated capacity and are made in matched lengths. These slings conform to ASME B30.9 Chapter six and US Navy NAVFAC P-307 Section 14. The safety and inspection features found only in Twin-Path products were created to overcome shortfalls riggers found in single path roundslings. US Patent #4,850,629, #5,651,572 CN #1,280,458, #2,195,393 Italy #97300367.6 Japan # 2929431 Australia # 707924
All Twin-Path slings have the Fiber Optic inspection. The condition of the internal core yarn can be inspected by checking the continuity of the fiber optic cable. If heat, chemicals, crushing or cutting has occurred then the damage to the fiber optic cable will destroy its ability to transmit light from one end to the other giving the inspector a reason to remove the sling from service and send it for repair evaluation. The fiber optic cable will conduct light using natural, overhead or flashlight sources.
As part of our manufacturing process, each Twin-Path Extra Sling is proof tested to two times its vertical rated capacity.
At rated capacity, nylon slings will stretch up to 15%. Round slings made with polyester will stretch 3%. Braided Polyester slings will stretch 9%. Twin-Path Extra Slings w/ K-Spec core yarn stretch less than 1% at rated capacity.
K-Spec fiber is a combination of high molecular weight polyethylene (HWMPE, manufactured by Honeywell under the trade name Spectra) and an aramid fiber (Technora) made by Teijin Chemical Inc.
Hydrocarbons and oils do not affect the performance of any Twin-Path sling.
A Twin-Path Sling can fit spaces half of their catalog width with no reduction in capacity.
K-Spec core yarn strength retention is based upon results of components at 65C/150F (or less) for 6 months. K-Spec has 100% strength retention when exposed to age, 10% detergen solution, sunlight, and toluene; 99% strength retention when exposed to acetic acid, gasoline, hydrocloric acid 1m, hydraulic fluid, kerosene, and sea water; 98% retention when exposed to 25% amonium hydroxide, 10% hydrophosphite solution, and 40% phosphoric acid; 97% retention when exposed to 5m sodium hydroxide; 95% retention when exposed to Portland cement and sulfuric acid; and 88% retention when exposed to Clorox and nitric acid.
