Tuflex RoundslingsTHE TUFLEX DIFFERENCETuflexAll Lift-All slings meet or exceed OSHA and ASME B30.9 standards and regulations.What is a Tuflex Roundsling? Conforms to shape of load to grip securelyIt is an endless synthetic sling made from a skein(continuous loop or hank) of polyester yarn covered bya double wall tubular jacket. The roundsling body canalso be compared to sling webbing with the tubularjacket face yarns woven without binder yarns; thisallows the core yarns to move independently withinthe jacket. Load bearing yarns protected from UV degradationTufhide JacketSaves MoneyMade from bulked nylon fibers, the double wall Tufhidejacket offers better abrasion resistance for our largercapacity Tuflex (EN360 and larger). In addition, Tufhidereduces the heat buildup that can damage other highcapacity roundslings when used in a choker hitch. Double wall cover for greater sling life Red striped white core yarns provide added visual warning of sling damage Color coding provides positive sling capacity information Soft cover won’t scratch load surface Conforms to shape of load for reduced load damage Seamless - no sewn edges to rupture prematurely,Tuflex RoundslingsFeatures, Advantages and Benefitsrequiring removal from service EN360 and larger Tuflex feature Tufhide wear resistantPromotes Safetynylon jacket for extra sling life Light weight reduces fatigue and strain on riggers Tuff-Tag provides required OSHA information for the Synthetic materials won’t cut handslife of the sling, not just the life of the tag Consistent matched lengths for better multiple sling load Saves Timecontrol Color coded capacities for quick identification No loss of strength from abrasion to cover Light weight and pliable for easy rigging and storage Tuff-Tag provides serial numbered identification fortraceability Independent core yarns choke tightly, but release easilyafter use Low stretch (about 3% at rated capacity) - reduces sling Easy to carry - high strength to weight ratio for easyand load abrasion - good for low headroom liftsWARNINGFollow temperatureand chemicalinformation foundon page 24.transportationAlways protect syntheticslings from being cut bycorners and edges.See page 1458

This is why Sling Webbinghas red core yarns to visually reveal damage and actas a basis for sling rejection.TuflexTuflexpick yarns position surface yarns and Transverseprotect core yarnssurface yarns also protect core yarns, Wovencarry no loadTuflex(Side View) Longitudinal core yarns carry 100% of load Red core warning yarnsRoundsling construction, as shown above, protectsall load carrying core yarns from abrasion with anindependent, woven jacket. Replacement is notnecessary until the red striped white core yarns canbe seen through holes in the jacket. When coreyarns are visible, sling must be removed from service.Tuflex roundslings provide double wall protection forextended sling life.HOW TO ORDEROrdering Tuflex Polyester Roundslings1. Specify sling Part No. found in the charts throughoutthe Tuflex sectionEndless and Eye & Eye styles of Tuflex are made toa tolerance of (1" 1% of the specified length)and can stretch 3% at rated capacity.2. Specify sling length in feet (bearing point to bearingpoint). Refer to footnotes under Tuflex tables forspecific sling lengths and tolerances.Braided Tuflex length tolerance is (2" 5% of theordered length) (sling at rest). At its rated capacity,braided Tuflex will stretch approximately 9%.Prior to sling selection and use, reviewand understand the "Help" sectionpages 3 through 12.Note: Matched lengths of slings must be specified attime of order.59

Tuflex RoundslingsUSING TUFLEX ROUNDSLINGSProtect Sling from DamageSling Hardware and ConnectionsALWAYS protect roundslings from beingcut or damaged by corners, edges andprotrusions using protection sufficient for eachapplication.Connection surfaces must be smooth to avoid abrading orcutting roundslings. Roundslings can also be damaged orweakened by excessive compression between the slingand the connection points if the size of the attachmenthardware or connection area is not large enough to avoidthis damage. Select and use proper connection hardwarethat conforms to the size requirements listed for choker andvertical hitches, or for basket hitches in the charts below.Do not ignore warning signs of misuse. Cutmarks detected during any sling inspectionserve as a clear signal that sling protection mustbe added or improved.(Contact Lift-All, or see WSTDA RS-1 for information abouthow to calculate whether a smaller connection size is allowable when tension on a roundsling is less than its capacity)Exposure of slings to edgesTuflexWARNINGExposure of roundslings toedges with a radius that istoo small can cause slingfailure and loss of loadEdges do not need to be “sharp” to cause failure ofthe sling. The following table shows the minimumallowable edge radii suitable for contact with unprotected roundslings. Chamfering or cutting off edgesis not an acceptable substitute for fully rounding theedges to the minimum radius.
