A tubular wear sleeve makes better use of its material than a quick sleeve does, so it holds up longer if you're the kind of crew that repositions the contact point on every lift. A Cordura tubular sling sleeve also attaches with Velcro®, but its tubular shape uses more of its material than a quick sleeve, so it typically outlasts both quick and sewn sleeves if you rotate the contact point as you use it.

Key Features

• Cordura fabric construction, abrasion-resistant
• Velcro® closure for fast attach and removal
• Tubular design uses more usable material than a quick sleeve of the same size
• Wire rope diameter: 1 - 1-1/2"
• Chain size: 9/32 - 3/8"

Applications

• Slings that see repeated contact at the same edge or corner, where a tubular wear sleeve for slings lasts longer than a flatter design
• Wire rope and chain rigging that concentrates wear at one point on the sling
• Crews that want a Cordura sling wear protector they can reposition as it wears rather than replacing it outright

Sleeve Inspections

Inspect the sleeve regularly and before each use. If you notice any damage, excessive wear, or an unreadable warning tag, remove the sleeve from service immediately.
