Softsteel 2 ton

Description

Crosby Softsteel for attaching, for example, truss to a hoist. This lifting sling can handle a maximum load of 2 tons. You can choose from three different lengths of steels above. This way, you always have the lifting sling in the desired length. Hanging trusses and other heavy loads in the event industry is subject to numerous regulations. These rules aim to increase safety for visitors by reducing the number of accidents. Especially in exceptional situations, such as weather conditions or fire. That’s why trusses and other heavy loads must always be suspended with steel cables, known as steels.

During a fire, these will not simply melt or burn through. Unlike many nylon lifting slings used with cranes. In the past, thick and stiff steel cables were often used for attaching truss to hoists, for example. These steels were very reliable but often caused damage to the truss itself. The steel constantly rubbed against the truss during installation. Later, these thick steel cables were provided with a plastic sheath, which significantly reduced the chance of damage to the material. However, this plastic sheath was not allowed in all countries of the world. This sheath could melt during a fire, and you wouldn’t want a drop of molten plastic on your neck.

What are the characteristics of this softsteel?

Fortunately, development doesn’t stand still, and there was the softsteel. This Crosby softsteel is a flexible lifting sling. Compared to the old-fashioned steel, it is also round, like a round sling. This lifting sling has the same load capacity as the old-fashioned variant but is internally equipped with many thin steel cables. The sheath of this lifting sling is designed in a way that it will not drip during a fire. It sort of scorches away, ensuring it cannot cause dangerous situations. In combination with a shackle and a hoist, you could suspend a truss construction from the ceiling. This saves space as placing a standing construction is no longer necessary.
