Protective Sleeving

Rapid Enquiry Form

Rope Services Direct use protective sleeving to promote lifting safety. This adds a layer of protection between the sling and the load. We have a number of lifting sling products, all of which have been designed with only the highest level of quality and safety in mind.

However, some tasks and applications are more heavy duty in nature. This may subject your lifting slings to a great amount of stress, pressure, abrasion or harmful elements and chemicals. Our products are manufactured with a high level of resistance against some of these conditions. However purchasing protective sleeving further enhances the protection of your trusty equipment.

Why use protective sleeving?

Protective sleeves reduce cutting and abrasion damage, protects the sling from sharp edges and can be provided either on both sides of the sling or on a single side. We can supply protective sleeving in any length and width depending on your requirements. An alternative to a full length sleeve is also the sewing on of protective webbing pads in strategic positions where this is beneficial. Protective sleeving can be utilized on both webbing and wire rope.

Protective sleeving can be utilised in a number of ways to suit the user. We understand that every operation and application is different, and know that a one-size-fits-all approach can’t be taken with these. That’s why we can offer protective sleeving in a number of ways, to perfectly match your bespoke lifting slings and provide as much safety as possible.

Although this protection offers a great barrier between your equipment and damage, please ensure that you continue to carry out pre-use equipment checks before any lifting operation. All equipment will suffer natural wear and tear during its service life, and it’s important you are on the lookout for this!

What is polyurethane? 

Polyurethane materials are used for some of our sling sleeves. We want to provide a little more information on this material so you can gain a better understanding of the product.  Polymers joined together with urethane links form polyurethane.

It is a material that has numerous benefits:

Won’t melt if heated

Highly flexible and resistant to fatigue damage

Strong, durable and highly resistant to abrasion

It provides thermal and electrical insulation

Resistant to chemicals and elements, such as oils or moisture

With a strong design our slings offer good resistance. Protective sleeving enhances these benefits, making them perfect for more heavy duty applications.

Protective sleeve uses

Both webbing and wire slings can utilize protective webbing. We can either supply the sleeving to you for you to attach yourselves, or we can assist with this. If you are looking to sew the sleeving onto your sling, then we’ll handle this process for you.
