Benefits of Light Duty Protective Sleeve Tubing

As the name suggests, this light duty protective sleeve tubing is capable of boosting the protection for wire rope or fibre rope lifting slings. Most notably you are adding a layer that will separate the load from the cable fibres to avoid damage to both load and rope.

Our light duty protective sleeving is made from a tube of webbing. While not quite as durable as our heavy duty sleeves  it should provide adequate protection for many lifting applications using rope slings. Just remember to follow lifting equipment regulations and conduct frequent checks to ensure no issues arise with the rope itself.

Alternative Sleeving Materials to Consider

As well as our webbing-based sleeves, you can order moulded protective sleeving for wire ropes if you require a sling assembly that is resistant to heat, moisture and other hazards.

All of our protective sleeving is made to order and you have the option of fitting the webbing tube yourself, or investing in an entire wire rope sling that comes with all of the key components already attached.
