Spider Sleeve: Sling and Wire Rope Protection

Innovative Friction-Reducing Design

• Minimizes Cover Friction – The Spider Sleeve reduces friction between the sling’s outer cover and itself or rigging hardware, enabling smooth gliding and reducing wear.
• Prevents Jacket Damage – Protects synthetic sling covers from abrasion, cuts, and bursting when tightly choked or rigged on narrow or rough surfaces.
• Flexible Configurations – Offered in sliding, fixed, or removable sleeves to meet diverse rigging requirements and ease of use.

Premium HMPE Fiber Construction

• 100% HMPE Fiber – Made from tightly woven high modulus polyethylene yarns, providing exceptional strength, durability, and resistance to abrasion.
• Low Coefficient of Friction – Allows the sling to glide effortlessly, reducing stress on fibers and extending the life of your lifting slings.
