The foundation: the development of the seatbelt.
It‘s hard to imagine, but only 50 years ago cars had no seatbelts. At that time, little consideration was given to accident prevention and many accidents had fatal consequences where those involved would today escape unharmed. In the late 1950s, in order to improve the safety of those travelling in cars, the automotive manufacturer Volvo contacted the ribbon weaving company AB Textilkonst & Klippan with a commission to develop a safety belt for Volvo vehicles. The time had come for the small Swedish belt weaving company. Working together with Volvo engineers, it developed the world‘s first vehicle safety belt from hard-wearing fabric ribbon. In 1959, these belts were fitted in the Amazon and 544 models, and initially met with widespread astonishment from the public. However, as we know, they soon became a great success.
​
1966 – SpanSet Germany is founded.
Due to the considerable demand, Erik Ehnimb, the co-owner of Klippan, founded the SpanSet company in Malmö in 1966. The straps produced by SpanSet were quickly put to use in many other areas in which chains and wire cables had previously been used. In particular, customers valued the extremely high load-bearing capacity of the new lashing and lifting straps. The same year saw the foundation of SpanSet GmbH & Co. KG in Germany, and this was followed just one year later by the establishment of SpanSet AG in Hombrechtikon, in the Zurich region. These start-ups were soon followed by further subsidiaries in Europe, Asia, the USA and Australia, and remain part of a global production and sales network to this day.
​
The 1970s – further innovations were on the agenda.
The development of the car safety belt was only the first of many innovative products that SpanSet brought onto the market over the course of the decades. In the early 1970s, SpanSet worked with Mannesmann Anlagenbau to develop lifting belt mats with load capacities of up to 60 tons for laying large-diameter pipes for the pipeline and gas industry. For the first time, flat slings and protective sleeves could now be used to lift and turn rough and sharp-edged loads thanks to the secutex coating.
Continuous further developments during the 1980s.
The secutex coating was an important step in lifting technology and led to the foundation of SpanSet-secutex GmbH in the early 1980s. Furthermore, a new generation of round slings came onto the market, with textile fibre reinforcement and a superior load capacity label woven into the fabric. Moreover, for the first time, the knowledge and experience that had been built up in the areas of lifting and load control was passed on through training sessions.
​
SpanSet provides even more safety. In 1994,
TÜV Rheinland certified that SpanSet had a quality management system managed in accordance with DIN ISO 9002/ EN 29002. By the way: today, SpanSet‘s quality management is DIN EN ISO 9001:2000-certified. Furthermore, the company started producing and selling personal protective equipment to protect against falls. The Magnum round slings with an increased load capacity of 100 t and a maximum working length of 60 metres passed the critical test when they were used to lift a 110-metre long and 300-tonne heavy roof onto the Fritz-Walter stadium in Kaiserslautern in 1998.
​
Round sling with 450 t load capacity.
At the start of the century, SpanSet developed the first shorteners for textile round slings and flat slings with the VarioSling and VarioWeb. Furthermore, innovative powerhouses were launched onto the market with the new Magnum-X round slings. Stronger, more compact and more robust than other round slings, these slings can be manufactured with a load capacity of up to 450 t. Today, the SpanSet Group has more than 15 production and sales companies and almost 1,000 employees and is proud of its history – after all, the many decades of research and development work has resulted in increased safety, easier working practices, fewer accidents and has contributed towards lower operating costs around the world. On the basis of constant innovation and new technologies, SpanSet is now facing up to the challenges of the future.
​
SpanSet – Certified Safety
Flat slings or round slings from SpanSet are not the only equipment one sees on the construction site of a new offshore wind farm in the North Sea. The installation of the individual elements, such as the engine or the rotor blades, takes place at heights at which there is a risk of falling and thus danger to life. The use of „personal protective equipment“ (PPE) is indispensable when performing this kind of work. Consequently, some years ago, SpanSet was the driving force in the development of special harnessing and retention systems that offer an extremely high level of safety in such cases.
In addition to lifting solutions, SpanSet also offers a wide range of products for height safety. We find highly specialised solutions even for the most complex applications. We have already developed many innovative products in close cooperation with our customers. The best example of this is Safeline, a fixed-line roof fall arrest system made from rustproof steel that is used as horizontal and vertical fall arrest and is manufactured in line with customers‘ requirements for the specific application. Customers throughout the world benefit from the close collaboration within the SpanSet Group. With a close eye on the EN standards at all times, we know what users need and what demands the legislation places on those using personal protective equipment
​
​
Height safety
When constructing the façade of a shopping centre, extremely long steel supports are required. However, before the supports can be lifted and installed with SpanSet MagnumPlus round slings on site, the heavy load has to be safely transported to the construction site. This is where SpanSet lashing systems come into action. A comprehensive range of load control equipment helps users to secure a wide variety of goods, prevent hazards and costly transport damages and meet the statutory requirements.
When it comes to load control, SpanSet stands for quality and innovative solutions. Push and pull ratchets for loads ranging from 125/250 daN to 12,500/25,000 daN lashing capacity, load safety nets for quick deployment with constantly changing cargo and also a wide range of accessories, including anti-slip matting or edge protectors for sensitive goods, have helped increase the level of safety in load control for many decades. In addition to the continuous checks in our in-house laboratory, renowned institutions such as the employers‘ liability insurance association (BG), DEKRA, TÜV and DNV GL regularly inspect and certify our products and the way in which our quality management system is organised. By using SpanSet load control equipment, you are contributing optimally to ensuring the safety of man and transported goods
Load control
Tobias Leusch, a technician working for a car manufacturer, is responsible for the loading of sharp-edged car parts. In addition to choosing the correct lifting gear, the subject „sharp edge“ is thus also of key importance for the lifting operations. But for Mr. Leusch, sharp-edged loads are never a problem – he recently attended the SpanSet seminar for lifting! Should he be confronted with any questions, Mr. Leusch can always consult the „Sharp Edges“ brochure or contact a SpanSet application engineer – ensuring that even the most critical lifting operations are mastered together.
Not only because of the constantly changing safety provisions is it important to always be up-to-date on subjects concerning day-to-day work – which is why, at SpanSet, safety management has existed for many years. We want to help you effectively prevent risks. This includes competent, expert advice, the inspection and repair service and also our wide range of seminars designed to improve and simplify working at heights, lifting loads or securing cargo in a sustainable manner. Place your trust in our expertise and our experience and let us take care of these issues so that you can concentrate of the important aspects of your work.
Safety management
Lifting
How SpanSet makes lifting loads safe and effective.
When heavy loads are moved, safety and care are the top priority. This means the highest level of protection for the goods and for all persons involved. SpanSet is one of the pioneers when it comes to lifting with textile lifting gear. With our lifting gear and the expert advice of our application engineers, you can effectively prevent hazards and accidents, while ensuring that you fully meet the requirements stipulated by law.
In the late 1960s, unwieldy chains or hemp ropes were used to lift heavy loads. At this time, SpanSet began to develop new solutions made of hard-wearing artificial fibres. Today, SpanSet‘s textile flat slings and round slings are used throughout the world to tackle difficult tasks. The ISO-certified flat slings and round slings from SpanSet have been used to lift antique works of art, whole roofs of sports stadiums and ships - after all, you can rely on the high-tech slings that are „made in Germany“. SpanSet became the market leader thanks to constant innovations and an ISO-certified quality assurance standard. Numerous patents and a constant flow of new, practical improvements are a clear sign of our unique knowledge and expertise in lifting.
100 % quality – 100 % safety
From the material selection to the quality test, from exact calculations to intelligent application – we give 100% at every stage. We weave the majority of our flat slings and round sling sleeves ourselves – in Germany. In order to ensure that you receive only completely reliable and practical lifting gear, we employ experts from the various sectors and develop new products in collaboration with universities of applied sciences and other institutions.
Tested and certified
Our quality management system involves ongoing tests of materials and end products. These materials and end products are subject to continuous checks in our in-house laboratory and in external test series. We test the maximum load, strength and durability. For many years, renowned institutions such as the employers‘ liability insurance association, DEKRA, TÜV and DNV GL have been carrying out regular testing and certification of our products and the manner in which our quality management system is organised.
By choosing SpanSet quality products for lifting, you can move nearly any load – while protecting the material and ensuring the safety of the people.
SpanSet – Certified Safety
PRACTICAL GUIDELINES
Lifting gear
The right lifting gear
Material science
Textile lifting gear has to be manufactured from hard-wearing multi-filament yarns. Whether it‘s polyester (PES), polyamide (PA) or polypropylene (PP): Flat slings and round slings are only allowed to be manufactured from one single material. When choosing the right lifting gear, all important environmental conditions have to be taken into account. Extreme temperatures or aggressive substances – such as acids and caustic solutions – can reduce the durability of the fabric straps or make them impossible to use.
What kind of textile lifting gear is the right one depends on the application. Is the load compact or high-volume? Does it have fixed attachment points? Are the surfaces sensitive – or does the load have sharp edges? SpanSet has the right lifting gear for every application:
​
Round slings
If you want to lift loads that do not have fixed attachment points, our round slings are the product of first choice. They can carry up to 450 t and are real workhorses. A surface that is extra-resistant to wear and woven textile wire reinforcement make Magnum-X & co. particularly robust: Quality for everyday use.
​
Multi-leg slings
If your load has fixed attachment points, the choice is simple: Round slings and multi-leg slings are particularly easy to handle and can even be adjusted with the right accessories. Because every leg can be adapted to have an individual length, lifting asymmetrical loads is child‘s play.
Coated flat slings
To protect your lifting gear, secutex® is the number one choice. As a permanent coating on the flat sling for handling rough surfaces, or as a secutex®-coated protective sleeve for handling sharp edges – with these slings you will not only be able to safely lift, but also turn your loads.
​
​
​
At a glance:
Load capacity in use
When choosing the right flat slings and round slings, SpanSet makes it twice as easy for you – with a label and colour code 2. The colour coding of the straps in accordance with DIN EN shows you immediately whether the load capacity in a straight pull is sufficient for the load in question.
The nominal carrying capacity (working load limit, WLL) with the various slinging configurations. Under certain circumstances you may be able to lift heavier loads. We also kept this in mind: In addition to the nominal carrying capacity, you can also read off the load capacity in the most common applications directly from the label
The load lifting factor M
You can easily read off the respective load capacity of your lifting gear from the label – but not for all applications. The SpanSet load capacity controller or the lifting app can help you with this 4 (p. 104 ff). These aids help you to determine the factor M and to easily read off the load capacity in all common applications.
​
The most important standards and regulations
In Germany there are a number of regulations for lifting loads that have to be observed in addition to the European legislation. In principle, the following provisions apply for textile lifting gear:
-
Machine Safety Directive 98/37/EC
-
Occupational Health and Safety Ordinance
-
DIN EN 1492-1 DIN EN 1492-2
-
DIN 60005 DGUV Rule 100 - 5001)
-
ZH 1/324
-
BGI 556
-
Company standards
It is important for you to be up-to-date at all times, because impermissible applications are very dangerous. To support you in this, SpanSet offers compact seminars in which you can learn the necessary expertise regarding the correct and compliant use of lifting gear in a practical environment. This means more safety for you, for your employees and for the loads. For more information about our seminars, see pages 106 - 111.
Lengthen at will – but in the correct way
If you want to lengthen round slings or flat slings, you must never tie the slings to one another or join them with a knot! This leads to incorrect loading of the fibres, which in turn rapidly decreases the load capacity – accidents are bound to happen. The Joker Hook provides a safe way of lengthening the lifting gear (p. 50 et seq.). For more information please refer to the quick reference guide 5 that is sewn onto every SpanSet sling.

Watch out for sharp edges
By definition, a sharp edge is frequently not recognised as such because the edge is seen as being round and not sharp. Left undiscovered, sharp edges can quickly damage the lifting gear. A sharp edge already exists if the edge radius „r“ is smaller than the thickness of the material „d“ of the lifting gear. For more information about the sharp edge, see pages 12 et seq.
01 Determine the weight
To ensure safe lifting it is absolutely essential to know the weight of the load. Design specifications, shipping papers or indications on the lead can provide the necessary information. Alternatively, the load can be weighed by briefly lifting it with a crane scale – always with an eye on occupational safety, i.e. in accordance with the valid accident prevention rules.
​
02 Take into account the centre of gravity
The crane hook always has to positioned directly above the centre of gravity. For asymmetrical loads, the strengths and lengths of the individual legs have to be determined.
03 Determine the angle of inclination
The angle of inclination of the lifting gear has to be determined beforehand. It must not exceed 60°. To check your calculations you can use the SpanSet load capacity controller and the lifting app as a help (p. 110 et seq.).
04 Safety while lifting
If the radius r of an edge is smaller than the diameter or the thickness d of the lifting gear, the edge is considered to be sharp (p. 12 et seq.). This includes not only „razor-sharp“ edges, but also typical rolling edges. Protective sleeves and edge protectors can help effectively protect your lifting gear. For more application instructions, please refer to the BGR 500 or our user manual.
The basic rules for correct lifting
PRACTICAL GUIDELINES
Sharp edge
Definition: Sharp edge
In addition to external factors, such as temperature or mechanical stress, „sharp edges“ still represent one of the main causes of damage to the lifting gear itself and are therefore a frequent cause of accidents. The most damages on sharp or rough edges occur by moving the load transversely to the lifting gear. If the edge is „sharp“, it can, in the worst case, cut through the lifting gear. If the load moves to the side, a cutting motion occurs at the edge. Being comparable with the blade of a knife, the edge can cut through unprotected lifting gear.
​
A sharp edge already exists if the edge radius „r“ is smaller than the thickness of the material „d“ of the lifting gear. If the edge radius is under 2 mm, experts already consider this a „razor-sharp edge“. The definition of „sharp edges“ was originally devised for wire rope attachments, but was not adapted to the development of round slings. This problem was examined by SpanSet in cooperation with the trade association and DEKRA in an extensive series of tests.
Tools for measuring radii
​
In order to assess the sharp edge, „tools“ are required. The following tools can be used to determine radii: radius gauge 1, vernier caliper , 2 folding ruler.
The different versions of a sharp edge:
​
Sharp edge: Edge radius
If the edge radius r is smaller than the thickness of the flat sling/round sling d, the edge is considered „sharp“. Lateral movements or surface pressure can already be enough to sever the lifting gear
​
Example of surface pressure:
MagnumPlus 30 t, support width 170 mm
Magnum-X 30 t, support width 90 mm
The surface pressure exerted by the load on the lifting gear is lower
-
the wider the contact area is,
-
the larger the radius of the component is,
-
the thicker the protective layer between the component and lifting gear is
​
​
Sharp edge: Edge angle
In addition to loads with rectangular edges, there are goods with deviating shapes. These include loads with protruding edges and with sharp or jagged outer contours, such as cogwheels, turbine blades etc. These edges cannot be determined by the general rule.
​
​
Sharp edge: Edge shape
The shape and surface finish of the edges have a significant impact on the durability of the lifting gear. Very rough surfaces, such as those of a prefabricated concrete component, can very quickly damage textile lifting gear or a wire rope.

An overview of SpanSet‘s tools for dealing with sharp edges:
​
HPME-woven protective sleeves
The flexible and light-weight protective sleeves made of HPME are woven, certified by DEKRA and offer the perfect edge protection for round slings and flat slings when dealing with „sharp edges“. Find out more on p. 82 et seq.
secutex-coated protective sleeves
The protective sleeve latches onto the edge of the load, allowing the flat sling to glide freely through the protective sleeve. This protects both the load and lifting gear. For more information about our secutex protective sleeves, see p. 88.
ExoSet round sling shackles
Perfectly matched and tested combinations of round slings and shackles approved by the employers‘ liability insurance association offer effective protection from sharp edges. For more information see p. 100/101.
Edge protectors
​
The exceedingly robust secutex edge protectors are gentle on the load and on the flat sling. They increase the radius of the edge, thus preventing „sharp edges“. Ask us about it!
Coated flat slings
​
Permanent secutex coating effectively protects flat slings against cuts by sharp-edged loads, from wear and from ingress of foreign particles and fluids. Coated flat slings are presented on p. 72 et seq.
Safe raising and turning
When turning and raising coils, the use of protective sleeves is indispensable.
​
The flat sling is hung into the crane hook and positioned onto the load with the protective sleeve. When lifting, the strap freely moves inside the protective sleeve, which lies firmly against the load.
Our tips for safely rotating coils
-
01 Position the flat sling exactly at 12 o‘clock in the eye of the coil.
​
-
02 Only individual, unpacked and clean coils may be turned.
​
-
03 A slip-resistant base such as the secutex turning mat can be used.
​
-
04 Rolling of the coil or slipping in a transverse direction to the flat sling must be prevented.
​
-
05 Diagonally „pulling out“ a coil is not permitted.
PRACTICAL GUIDELINES
Protective sleeve types and surface finishes
The right type for every application
Lifting procedures are just as different as the respective loads themselves. This also apply to the field of application of the various types of protective sleeves, as the latter is adapted to the load and the working range of the lifting gear. This applies to both the NoCut sleeve and to all secutex protective sleeves.
The protective sleeve can protect the flat sling across the entire working length (type 1) or just a short part of its working length (type 2). In the case of round slings, the single strand can be protected over the entire working length (type 3) or a short part (type 4), while the double strand can be protected entirely (type 5) or over a short part (type 6).

Surface finish for coated flat slings and protective sleeves
Our subsidiary, secutex GmbH, is the market leader in the field of coated flat slings and the driving force behind the development of protective coatings for use in industry. secutex is a polyurethane elastomer with excellent physical and chemical qualities:
High structural strength
Compared to other chemical materials, secutex is extremely resistant to wear and tear. The polyurethane can be stretched to 500% of its original length without tearing.
​
Particular elasticity
secutex possesses a substantially higher elasticity in comparison to conventional rubber, even when exposed to extreme changes in temperature. Extremely resistant to wear secutex is very durable. In the strength test under wet conditions, secutex was shown to be more durable than certain metals.
​
Long-lasting dimensional stability
No shrinking, no wrinkling. secutex retains its shape even after intense use. The protective sleeves retain their length and reliably protect the textile lifting gear from „sharp edges“. secutex protective sleeves and permanent coatings are manufactured in various surface finishes as standard. With the accurately fitting surface, the coated flat slings are particularly well suited for use in areas subject to the influence of water, ice and oil.
Smooth
With the smooth secutex surface, the load rests on the entire surface. In a dry state, it offers the highest possible frictional lock and inhibits slipping to the greatest extent possible
Ground
This surface is slightly rough. It is used if the contact side comes into contact with small amounts of liquids. The rough surface remains permanently slip-resistant.
Fish bone
More than „ground“, this surface makes it possible for liquids to run off the surface. By means of an almost like relationship between bridging and beading, it maintains a high level of frictional lock with the load.
Pyramid
Here, the load rests only on the tip. This allows large amounts of liquid to run off the surface quickly, without breaking the contact between the contact side and the load.
Wave and Miniwave
Large, wave-shaped protrusions make it possible for the load to lock onto the flat sling. A version that is also used as a conveyor belt on turning crossheads
Optional: Reinforcement and Tropic
By inserting steel plates, the coated part of the flat sling is equipped with an additional protective layer, which considerably increases the cut resistance. The optional Tropic coating for flat slings is suitable for use in areas in which the equipment is subjected to permanent moisture, especially salt water. The hydrolysis-resistant secutex Tropic is the first choice for offshore use
How SupraPlus round slings are used to move gear units
The Voith Turbo BHS Getriebe GmbH in Sonthofen has devoted its efforts, among other things, to the construction, manufacture and installation of high-performance gear units. The heavy machine components, which can weigh up to 65 t, have to be lifted more than just once on their way from the manufacturing hall until they are dispatched. In addition to the heavy weight, the asymmetrical design of the components and the partly sharp edges at the attachment points pose a challenge. No problem for the compact SupraPlus round slings in combination with ExoSet shackles. Contrary to wire ropes made of steel, the round slings are much lighter, the risk of damage to the component is much lower and the risk of accidents is considerably reduced. Other SpanSet products, such as PowerStar, Magnum-X, NoCut and secutex protective sleeves are also used at Voith on a daily basis. „The high quality and the resulting durability of the lifting gear, but also the training sessions and briefings are decisive factors for placing our trust in SpanSet products“, say Ralf Harden from the company Voith.
​
The SpanSet SupraPlus adapts to the load with virtually no creasing. In spite of its relatively slim design, it finds sufficient contact area even in smaller crane hooks and is not compressed. This helps to effectively prevent an impermissible loss of load capacity. A ribbed structure and woven textile wire make SupraPlus exceedingly robust. It meets the highest safety and quality standards worldwide. In addition to SupraPlus, SpanSet‘s Twintex and Liftfix complement the range of round slings for lifting weights ranging from 0.5 t to 8 t. The round slings are enveloped in a protective sleeve made of a special, robust polyester fabric that protects the core. During production, the sleeve and core are perfectly adapted to one another in order to prevent unwanted creasing. A firmly sewn label displaying the technical details offers additional safety in application. In addition to SupraPlus, Twintex and Liftfix can be optionally fitted with an RFID transponder. This enables the electronic identification and management of your lifting gear and saves time during regular inspections. Different protective sleeves also ensure trouble-free application – also when sharp edges are involved.
Facilitating lifting procedures while increasing safety at the same time: no problem for our round slings.

NoCut®sleeve – woven protective sleeve with all-round cut protection
The protective sleeve NoCut® made of HPME fibres is simply slid over the round sling and placed against the sharp edge of the load to protect the lifting gear. The fabric-reinforced sleeve can also be fitted by the user as shown in Figure 3. On request, the single legs of a round sling can also be fitted with NoCut® sleeve at the factory as shown in Figure 5.
​
Long service life and maximum safety
NoCut®sleeve is supple and flexible, allowing the protective sleeve to be easily positioned on the load even in tight spaces. The design of the sleeve with equally high all-round cut resistance makes for a long service life, as it can be used on both sides, and offers the highest level of operational safety, as application errors are excluded. NoCut® sleeve is delivered as a prefabricated cut with trimmed edges. As standard, the protective sleeves are offered with lengths in 250-mm increments and widths ranging from 45 mm to 315 mm.

NoCut® pad is mounted there where the lifting gear lies flat against the sharp edge. For the user this means: High flexibility, low material requirement and high safety when handling sharp-edged loads! The size of the edge protection can be exactly dimensioned for the danger area and precisely positioned on the sharp edge. Although
NoCut®pad – particularly high cut protection
Although NoCut® pads normally come in short lengths, there are additional attachment loops for the longer variants (see p. 85).
NoCut® pad is offered as a 2-layer or 4-layer version. This multilayer design achieves an extremely high level of cut protection and offers the user many options, also for critical lifting procedures.
Use of the HMPE material allows the user to deploy the textile protective plate in temperatures ranging from -40 °C up to +60 °C. As standard, NoCut® pads are produced in lengths from 500 mm to 1,500 mm in 250-mm increments.
NoCut® Produkt-Finder
All SpanSet flat slings and round slings can be protected against sharp edges with NoCut® pad. Even the extremely compact Magnum-X round slings can be used to lift loads up to a load capacity of 30 t with the protective plates. Turning and rotating loads is not permitted – please use NoCut® sleeve for these operations.

secutex SF-1 protective sleeve
secutex SF-1 – protective sleeve coating on one side
Protective sleeve coating on one side
The secutex SF-1 has been technically designed for optimal use with the SpanSet flat sling range and the SpanSet round slings. The contact side of the protective sleeve has a secutex coating, is extremely cut-resistant and reduces the formation of creases in the fabric. Easily clipped onto the textile lifting gear, the protective sleeve with the one-sided secutex coating equally protects the lifting gear and the load at „sharp edges“ and rough surfaces.
​
Designed for the application
On request, the protective sleeve also comes in a version with two-sided secutex-coating as secutex SF-2. This means that both sides can be used for lifting and mistakes can be minimised.
secutex SF-1 and SF-2 are available with different surface structures (p. 14), such as the slightly rough „ground surface finish“. It is used whenever the contact side comes into contact with small amounts of liquids. The interrupted surface remains permanently slip-resistant and its handling is more pleasant for the user.
The use of steel plates (reinforcement) for even greater cut resistance or the Tropic-coating for use in permanently moist environments are optionally available for the SF-1. This means that the protective sleeve can be adapted to your individual needs.

Thanks to the mounting slot on the back, the secutex Clip-SC can be quickly mounted by the user when needed – whether on single- or double-strand straps. The protective clip is easy to handle and quick to set up, and is preferably used in environments with constantly changing requirements and whenever round slings with or without additional protection are needed.
The permanently stable protective sleeve reduces the formation of creases. The secutex protective layer can be placed softly and flexibly on the load, thereby increasing the radius at the critical edges. The leverage forces are extensively distributed and the load remains undamaged.

How 1,000 tons of steel are safely moved
with the Magnum-X
The company Firma Sif Group bv from Roermond in the Netherlands is the market leader in the production of monopiles for the offshore industry. The thick-walled steel pipes are used as foundations for wind power plants. In addition to logistic skills, the transportation of a monopile from the manufacturing hall to the site of operation requires the use of professional lifting gear, as the round slings are subjected to a great deal of stress by the rough structure and the extremely heavy steel pipes. When transporting the monopiles, which weigh up to 1,000 tons and are 100 m long, the Sif Group relies on SpanSet Magnum-X and MagnumPlus round slings. Jan Donders, Safety Manager: „Our products have to meet very stringent quality standards. Since using SpanSet round slings, the service life has more than doubled. Safety is always our top priority, and the round slings always deliver, even under extreme conditions. When SpanSet was commissioned with the task of increasing the service life of round slings a few years back, we took the idea and made it a success – inspection, repairs and 24-hour service included.“
​
You can master any challenge with the SpanSet range of heavy-duty round slings. One single Magnum-X sling can lift up to 450 t in a straight pull – enough for even the heaviest loads. The secret lies in the „core“: A hard-wearing and heat-stabilised yarn is wound endlessly. This makes the finished round sling so flexible that it can easily adjust to the contours of any load. The Magnum-X smart is part of same product series. The heavy-duty round sling with a replaceable sleeve hose shows the user instantly if there is damage to the sleeve – a major advantage in terms of safety and operating efficiency. Standard RFID transponders, load capacity information woven into the fabric, protected quality labels and a range of protective sleeves make our premium heavy-duty round slings the perfect lifting gear, even under the most difficult conditions.
Noticeable increase the efficiency of your work with our heavy-duty round slings, even for the heaviest loads.

Signal-coloured patch with superior woven load capacity indication
Magnum-X sets benchmark in convenience, safety and durability – all with a load capacity of up to 450 t. A core made of high-performance polyester and the compact sleeve hose make the Magnum-X sling up to 50% slimmer than comparable heavy-duty round slings, while maintaining the same load capacity. Even in small crane hooks and in attachment points the round sling is not compressed and exhibits high longitudinal and transverse rigidity. The reduced creasing of the sleeve hose in the crane hook and on the load markedly improves the wear performance. A signal-coloured patch with inter woven load capacity indication also ensure that the sling is easy to recognise even at a distance and when heavily soiled. The label, which is additionally protected with a transparent cover, is tear-resistant. An RFID transponder that enables storage of the product data is integrated in the label and facilitates e.g. regular inspections
​
Up to 125 t without a side seam
Magnum-X is available with load capacities ranging from 10 t to 40 t 1 in a side-elastic protective sleeve and from 50 t to 125 t in a woven protective sleeve. From 150 t to 450 t the woven protective sleeve is sewn on the side 2.
Magnum-X – the new dimension in lifting
Magnum-X short – the „short version“
Not even 40 cm long, but extremely strong
The characteristics of the Magnum-X sling, i.e. „very robust, compact and also extremely wear-resistant“, apply equally to the Magnum-X short, only with the addition of „extremely short“. In the standard lengths 1 m, 1.5 m and 2 m, „our short one“ is even more user-friendly. Even a length of just 0.375 m is possible. The round sling with load capacities of 10 t to 30 t is available as standard.
​
All characteristics of the Magnum-X
The Magnum-X short, with a close-fitting sleeve and a side seam, boasts the same characteristics as the Magnum-X round sling (p. 31). The use of high-performance fibres in the sleeve and in the load-carrying core makes the Magnum-X round sling lighter and easier to handle than conventional slings. The material thickness under load is very small and is made for extreme applications. It allows the sling to fit more snugly against smaller edge radii than conventional round slings while maintaining the same load capacity, making work operations more efficient, faster and safer.
​
Standard fitting and accessories
The Magnum-X short, which is manufactured in accordance with DIN EN 1492-2, is fitted with an RFID chip as standard for electronic asset management, e.g. with IDXpert (p. 94 et seq.) and a particularly well-protected label displaying all relevant data. A large, signal-coloured patch also shows the respective load capacity details.
Different protective sleeves are optionally available, which e. g. facilitates the use with extremely small edge radii and protects the round sling against damage.

With the SpanSet high-performance round sling Magnum-X smart one can see straight away if the outer sleeve hose is damaged, as an additional outer sleeve for particularly hard and high-wear applications sets standards in terms of safety and operating efficiency.
​
Magnum-X with an additional outer sleeve
Essentially, the Magnum-X smart is comprised of two parts: The exceedingly robust outer sleeve, made of durable high-performance fibres, which can easily be replaced in the event of damage 1. Under the outer sleeve lies the actual load-bearing round sling with a sleeve hose, which is delivered in the flashy signal colour yellow 2. Thanks to this signal colour, the inner sleeve hose of the round sling is easy to see even with minor damages or minimal wear of the outer sleeve – an unmistakable sign that it is time to replace the outer sleeve.
​
Cost-saving replaceability
In most cases, the actual round sling can still be repaired and continue to be used. When using the Magnum-X smart, this means not only a marked increase in safety, but also in operating efficiency, because a repair costs only a fraction of the purchasing price of a new round sling. The ability to replace the outer sleeves in a cost-saving manner also ensures a particularly long service life in high-wear applications, because the round sling can practically be considered brand new after the replacement. In addition, the Magnum-X smart offers the same advantages as the Magnum-X heavy-duty round sling.
​
Magnum-X smart – the round sling with a replaceable protective hose
MagnumPlus – strong hold for heavy loads
Load capacity of 300 t in a straight pull
The SpanSet MagnumPlus manufactured from high-performance fibres offers everything a textile round sling needs for lifting even the heaviest loads: reliable support, optimal handling and high resistance to wear. Just one single MagnumPlus heavy-duty round sling can lift up to 300 t in a straight pull in a lifting procedure; in the past, only significantly heavier wire rope grommets were able to stand up to this challenge.
​
Safe even under maximum stress
The MagnumPlus has proven itself in a variety of situations, even under maximum stress. The fabric hose of the round sling is manufactured e. g. with a close-fitting design on the side, which minimises the formation of creases even at high load capacities, and a textile filament woven into the sleeve protects the fabric from tearing.

NoCut®sleeve – all-round cut protection for heavy-duty round slings
NoCut® sleeve also offers the perfect all-round cut protection for our heavy-duty round slings. Simply pulled onto the round sling, the protective sleeve made from HPME fibres protects heavyduty round slings with a load capacity of up to 25 t at the sharp edge of the load. NoCut® sleeve can also be fitted by the user as shown in Figure 3. Single legs of a round sling can also be fitted with NoCut® sleeve at the factory as shown in Figure 5. Ask us about it!.
​
All-round protection with high cut resistance
The super-flexible NoCut® sleeve protective sleeve can also be easily positioned on the load in very tight spaces. During lifting procedures, the protective sleeve sits firmly on the load, while the round sling can move inside the sleeve. The design of the sleeve offers equally high cut resistance all around, which means that it can be used on both sides. In addition to a longer service life, the design also offers advantages in terms of occupational safety. Since the sleeve can be used on both sides, application errors on sharp-edged loads can be excluded

How loads never lose their balance
with VarioWeb
How passengers, luggage items and supplies are safety lifted on board or onshore is demonstrated by DEKRA Akademie GmbH in the Colum - bus Cruise Center in Bremerhaven during one of its everyday tasks. For cruise ships arriving in the port, a gangway has to be transported from the quay to the ships, e. g. to allow passengers to embark and disembark. The challenge for these lifting procedures is the varying heights of the ships. The ability to quickly and easily adjust the length of the lifting gear is decisive in this case, as the gangway has to be positioned on the ship at a specific angle. The DEKRA Akademie relies on VarioWeb to meet this challenge. With VarioWeb, the individual straps can be continuously adjusted, so that the angle of the gangway can be perfectly adapted to each individual ship. This is also a major advantage when lifting asymmetrical loads. „The easy handling thanks to the quick adjustability makes VarioWeb the perfect solution for our requirements“, says Hartmut Oerding from the DEKRA Akademie. Its maintenance is also an economic advantage – if any part of the fixtures is damaged, it can be easily replaced thanks to the modular design concept.
​
In addition to „VarioWeb“, the single- and multi-leg round sling fittings also offer high flexibility during use. With the combination of round slings in the required length in conjunction with different fittings, lifting symmetrical loads has never been easier. When using the 4-leg sling, the suspension of the load from four attachment points ensures that the load can tilt neither in the longitudinal nor in the transverse direction. When lifting at angles below 45°, it is possible to achieve load capacities of up to 63 t. The option of equipping the round sling fittings with an RFID transponder also makes life easier for the user. This way, product data can be electronically managed with IDXpert®, which is particularly beneficial during the regular inspections, as the inspection data are always at hand. To ensure a longer service life, all legs of the SpanSet round sling fittings are additionally enveloped in a protective sleeve. The sleeve, in the load capacity colours as per DIN EN, is firmly sewn and reduces wear of the material. At the same time it improves handling by bundling the round slings.
With the SpanSet round slings and multi-leg slings, every load is kept safely in balance.

A common problem: The centre of gravity of a load is not in the centre and the lifting gear has the wrong length. All you need now is lifting gear with an adjustable length in order to lift the load in „balance“ – VarioWeb.
Continuously adjust strap lengths
VarioWeb is ideal for lifting asymmetrical loads: The individual legs of the multi-leg slings are fitted with shortening elements. Thanks to the intelligent mechanics, the individual legs can be continuously adjusted. In this way you can optimally balance any load and ensure an even transmission of forces. The maintenance of the VarioWeb system is very economical and flexible. Thanks to the modular design, only the defective parts have to be replaced.
​
SpanSet VarioWeb – for lifting asymmetrical loads
Adjustable and safe The VarioWeb elements are drop-forged of special-quality steel and are very robust. They have no burrs and no edges that can damage the strap and are shaped such that the straps have full contact with the load. This minimises the wear on the edge and considerably extends the service life of your lifting gear. The load capacity indicator, identified by the colour of the strap in accordance with DIN EN 1492-1, precludes mix-ups. Of course we manufacture the VarioWeb fittings precisely according to your wishes and deliver them fully assembled.
1-leg RS sling – simply hook in and get start started
The 1-leg RS sling is particularly suitable if your work involves frequently having to move or reposition loads with a fixed attachment point. Using the round sling fittings also makes sense from an economical perspective.
Modular system saves costs
Based on the tried-and-tested modular system, you can replace each part of the multi-leg round sling individually – whether it‘s a round sling or a fitting. This significantly reduces your maintenance costs. Furthermore, the strap is enveloped in a protective sleeve for added protection. The fittings of our multi-leg round slings are manufactured using grade 8 and 10 robust steel.
​
Useful accessories
Documenting the inspection of your RS legs is made even easier with the RFID transponder, which reduces your administrative burden.

If longer loads are lifted at only one attachment point in the middle, they can easily start to swing – a dangerous matter for all persons on site. With the 2-leg round sling, the load is kept in balance. This helps you to better control the movements of the load.
Save maintenance costs
The tried-and-tested modular design means that you can replace each element individually in case of damage – whether it‘s the round sling or the fittings made of robust steel (grade 8 + 10).
Reliable protection
To ensure a longer service life, all legs of the SpanSet RS slings are enveloped by an additional protective sleeve. The sleeve, colour-coded for load capacity colours in accordance with DIN EN, is firmly sewn on and reduces wear of the material. At the same time it improves handling by bundling the round slings
2-leg RS sling – all in balance
4-leg RS sling type LS – the perfect balance
If you want to lift particularly bulky or valuable loads, you want to have full control over their position – at all times. The 4-leg round sling offers you precisely that. Four round slings in SpanSet quality, each at a precisely defined length, make symmetrical lifting easier than ever before. The suspension of the load from four attachment points ensures that the load can tilt neither in the longitudinal nor in the transverse direction. At an angle below 45° you can achieve a load capacity of up to 63 t.

Joker hook – the perfect connector with two uses
One hook with two uses
The Joker hooks with a load capacity of up to 10 t are the ideal complement to your round slings and flat slings - after all, they are true all-rounders: They can either be used to extend the length of lifting gear or as end hooks which guarantee a secure hold in attachment points. Combined with one or more round slings, multi-leg lifting gear can be created in no time.
​
Hook on safely, lengthen at will
With the Joker hook you can turn any round sling into multi-leg lifting gear in next to no time. Simply hook it on, turn, finished. The forged safety catch ensures easy handling and also effectively prevents the slings from slipping out of the hook when loads are deposited on the floor – an added plus for your safety. Thanks to the intelligent design of the Joker you don‘t need any other tools to thread the hook onto your round slings or flat slings. Joker hooks can also be used as an extension piece, for example to connect two round slings to one another.
All of the characteristics of the Joker hooks have been designed to make them suitable for use with textile lifting gear. The goal: easy to handle and reliable to use. Intelligent details, such as the specially shaped tip of the hook, make for easy hooking into fixed attachments points. The raised side cheeks on the head of the hook prevent the premature wear of the textile lifting gear, as the gear lies protected as if in a groove.

How CS flat slings meet
the demands of building a stand
Florack Bauunternehmung GmbH, a successful medium-sized construction company, was commissioned with building the new east stand for the dressage stadium on the CHIO premises in Aachen. In the installation of the base support elements, the design provided for the use of special pre-fabricated concrete parts that were not right-angled and thus presented a greater challenge for the lifting procedure. „The pre-fabricated concrete parts made by us were not allowed to be damaged and we had to prevent the colour from being rubbed off by the lifting gear“, said Franz-Josef Bizan from the company Florack. After viewing the construction plans, a decision was made by the team to use SpanSet CS flat slings. The 4-ply flat slings are real powerhouses that optimally adjust to the shape of the base support being lifted. In order to protect the flat slings and concrete parts, transparent KSB joint protectors were used which protected the strap from the sharp edges of the concrete parts and also pre - vented colour abrasion. Using this equipment it was possible to erect the stand, which seats up to 1,200 people and has been inaugurated in the meantime, to the customer‘s full satisfaction.
​
In addition to the 4-ply CS flat slings, our range of products also includes further flat slings with different benefits. The highly robust 2-ply PowerS - tar flat sling, for example, has edges that are reinforced with interwoven high-tech yarns that offer additional protection from wear. In addition to the versions with a looped end, various fittings, such as the D-link, are available for our flat slings. Lifting slings which combine the advantages of a round sling with those of a flat sling, as well as flat slings designed for single use only complete our product range. You can even broaden the range of applications with various edge protectors, a range of protective sleeves or also the innovative NoCut® sleeve and NoCut® pads - these items can help you handle even sharp-edged loads and very small radii.
​
A versatile range of applications in conjunction with maximum safety for the user and the load – these are the characteristics that define our flat slings.

Flat sling with fourfold power
Narrow contact areas or lack of space for attaching the lifting gear are by no means uncommon. Here, SpanSet offers you the CS flat sling, which is woven from PES yarns and is sewn in four layers. The result: a flat sling that boasts a markedly higher load capacity than 1- or 2-ply flat slings, all with a narrow strap width. This makes the PowerStar CS flat slings ideal for applications that require the use of a narrower strap – for example, to feed under the load.
Flexibility in use
In addition to the version with reinforced loops, we also offer D-links as standard, which make PowerStar even more convenient to use. The version with D-links makes it easier to e. g. hook the sling into load lifting gear or crane hooks. The optional fitting with an RFID chip facilitates the regular inspections, and different protective sleeves also enable use of these slings on the sharpest edges.
The heavy-duty versions of the 4-ply PowerStar CS flat slings with a load capacity of up to 20 t are found on page 67

PowerStar – flat sling with „measurable“ load capacity
Robust and reliable
The PowerStar flat slings deliver what they promise: In a straight lift, they can carry up to 10 t, and you can even measure this. The weaving pattern of the sling alternates every 30 mm, and each „strip“ indicates a nominal carrying capacity of 1 t 1. An example: 90 mm strap width = 3 t load capacity.

PowerStar is extremely well protected against wear. Hard-wearing, black reinforcement filaments are woven into the edges to protect the flat sling. In the fully reinforced loops, the load-carrying fabric is intelligently protected against abrasion by an additional fibre coating. The third advantage remains invisible: a special coating that offers three times more protection against abrasion. Another plus for the application: The herringbone weave of the PowerStar flat sling does not get twisted. This makes it easier to feed it under loads and saves time in your daily work routine.

Sewn patch in signal colour with load capacity indication.
The endless flat sling is sewn using high-strength polyester fabric. It combines the advantages of the round sling and strap: a contact area that is gentle on the load, variable working length and thus ideal for use in frequently changing applications. It can also be easily used with load beams and turning crossheads.
To ensure that you always have an eye of the load capacity, a signal-coloured label with superior print is permanently sewn onto the sling. It withstands even major stress and remains legible even when the sling is badly soiled. The single-ply Powerband can carry up to 5 t in a straight pull.
Two layers for twice as much lifting power
The duplex PC endless flat slings are sewn using hard-wearing polyester fabric. Compared to the simplex endless flat sling, this means twice as much lifting power with the same width. These endless flat slings can be manufactured in almost any length for all kinds of applications.
Powerband endless flat slings – without hooks and eyes
Endless flat slings – the cost-effective single-use variant
Single-use endless flat slings are needed whenever e.g. heavy or bulky products are transported over longer distances. Once the load has arrived safely at the end customer, the lifting gear is severed and disposed of. Your advantage: You save costs, because the single-use endless flat slings are significantly more cost-effective than slings designed for daily use. To ensure that they are not confused with lifting gear designed for reuse, the single-use slings are not coloured in the standard colours indicating the load capacity, but are kept in white. The label in the signal colour orange is another clear sign that it is an item of lifting gear designed for single-use only.

NoCut®sleeve – all-round cut protection for flat slings
NoCut® sleeve also offers the perfect all-round cut protection for our flat slings. Simply slipped onto the flat slings, the woven protective sleeve is positioned on the sharp edge of the load to protect the lifting gear. NoCut® sleeve can also be fitted by the user as shown in Figure 1.
​
Long service life and maximum safety NoCut® sleeve is supple and flexible, allowing the protective sleeve to be easily positioned on the load even in tight spaces. The design of the sleeve with equally high all-round cut resistance allows for a long service life, as it can be used on both sides, and offers the highest level of safety, as application errors are excluded. NoCut® sleeve is delivered as a prefabricated cut with trimmed edges. The protective sleeves are offered at lengths in 250-mm increments as standard.

NoCut® pad is comprised of NoCut® sleeve and an internal fabric bridge that has fastening elements on both ends. NoCut® pad offers the user three alternatives to fasten the protective plate to the lifting gear: Velcro strap 1 , Velcro strap with a frame buckle 2 or 2-piece metal buckle (frame or triple bridge) 3.
​
NoCut® pad is mounted there where the lifting gear lies flat against the sharp edge. The size of the edge protection can be exactly dimensioned for the danger area and precisely positioned on the sharp edge – this saves costs and increases safety at the same time. NoCut® pad is offered as a 2-layer or 4-layer design. The 4-layer design offers an exceedingly high level of cut protection, which is why NoCut® pad is also ideal for critical lifting procedures with even the smallest radii
​
Use of the HMPE material allows the user to use the textile protective plate in temperatures ranging from -40 °C up to +60 °C. As standard, NoCut® pad is produced in lengths from 500 mm to 1,500 mm in 250-mm increments. Although NoCut® pads normally come in short lengths, there are additional attachment loops available for the longer variants.

secutex SF-1 – protective sleeve coating on one side
Protective sleeve coating on one side
The secutex SF-1 has been technically designed for optimal use with the SpanSet flat sling range or the SpanSet round slings. The contact side has a secutex coating, is extremely cut-resistant and reduces the formation of creases in the fabric. Easily clipped onto the textile lifting gear, the protective sleeve with the one-sided secutex coating equally protects the lifting gear and the load at „sharp edges“ and rough surfaces.
​
Designed for the application
secutex SF-1 is available in different surface finishes (page 17), such as „ground“, whose surface is slightly roughened. It is used whenever the contact side comes into contact with small amounts of liquids. The rough surface remains permanently slip-resistant.
If necessary, secutex SF-1 is also available with a two-sided coating in the SF-2 version, which precludes application errors when lifting sharp-edged loads.

How yachts are securely and gently lifted onto shore with 4-ply flat slings
Every year, Messe Düsseldorf welcomes international visitors to the world‘s biggest yacht and water sports trade fair - the boot Düsseldorf. Many motor and sailing yachts make their way to Düsseldorf by water to be presented at the trade fair „boot“. Once they arrive, the yachts - which are up to 30 m long and weigh up to 100 t - are lifted from the Rhine river by Europe‘s largest ship lift „Big Willi“ and then transported to the exhibition halls on flat-bed lorries. But not even „Big Willi“ can handle this task on his own. In order to hoist the ships out of the water, the ship lift is equipped with specially designed SpanSet PowerStar CS heavy-duty flat slings. „Because the boats are lifted from below, the flat slings are fitted with snap hooks onto which weights are attached. The weights ensure that the lifting gear sinks quickly and remains in position under water. This helps position the boats precisely in the ship lift and ensures that they can be securely lifted afterwards“, said Achim Paar from Messe Düsseldorf GmbH. In addition to the special construction with weights, the 4-ply CS flat slings ensure low surface pressure, which protects the ship‘s hull. To protect against the sharp edges of the ship‘s hull – which serve, among other things, as a cutting mechanism for nets floating in the water – NoCut sleeve protective sleeves were fitted on the flat slings. This guarantees gentle and safe transportation of the expensive luxury yachts to shore.
​
The SpanSet heavy-duty flat slings are the optimal lifting gear not only for the ship lift „Big Willi“. The 4-ply flat slings are extremely tough and have twice the load capacity of the 2-ply flat slings, while retaining the same width. The small contact area – relative to its load capacity – and the longitudinal rigidity, which is achieved by the 4 layers and the robust webbed design, characterise the PowerStar CS flat sling. In addition to the version with loops, versions with drop-forged D- and C-links especially adapted to the flat sling, as well as different protective sleeves – coated or woven – ensure a nearly unlimited range of applications.
Whether you need the standard version or a special design – when heavy loads need lifting, the heavy-duty flat slings of the PowerStar range are the perfect lifting gear.

The PowerStar CS heavy-duty flat sling, which is sewn in four layers, is a true powerhouse. The result: a flat sling that boasts a markedly higher load capacity than one- or two-ply flat slings, all with a narrow strap width. This makes the CS flat slings ideal for applications involving heavy loads that require the use of a narrow strap – for example, to feed under the load or if only a narrow contact area is available. The versions with D1- and D2-links make the sling even easier to use, e.g. when hooking the sling into load lifting gear or crane hooks.

FLAT SLINGS
How only one flat sling is needed for
constantly changing loads.
A steel trading company located in the Ruhr area handles more than 750,000 t of steel products every year. Every day, countless steel bars, coils, steel blanks and individual weights of up to 20 t are moved in the production halls. In addition to the safety of the staff and of the loads, the time factor and the wear of the lifting gear are of crucial importance for the company. The often sharp-edged steel parts have to be handled securely and quickly, which is why the flat slings should be flexible to use and also extremely resistant to wear. For this reason, flat slings with a permanent secutex coating are used by the steel trading company, as this guarantees easy and safe use in addition to a long service life. This means that no time gets lost in lifting procedures with constantly changing loads, while no compromise in safety is made.
​
Coated flat slings come in different standard versions, e. g. with a secutex (S2) or Powerflex coating (P2), or with a combination of the two materials (SX). The secutex-coating penetrates deep into the fabric of the flat sling, creating a bond which cannot be separated. The textile fabric is thus protected from ingress of foreign matter. Available in various degrees of hardness, the damping torque of the coating can be optimally adapted to the lifting procedure and the characteristics of the respective load. The secutex-coating can also be optionally reinforced with steel plates especially for use with razor-sharp edges. „Power - flex“ is a particularly thin spray coating that penetrates deep into the fabric, thus sealing it. Foreign matter and liquids can no longer penetrate the fabric and can be easily removed from the surface of the strap. The two-sided Powerflex-coating (P2) is used wherever fabric protection and extreme resistance to abrasion play a key role, but where the high level of flexibility of the flat sling has to be maintained. Because the flat sling is completely shielded, both sides can be used as contact sides.
An additional loop reinforcement also protects from abrasion, and versions with C- or D-links are also available. Our coated flat slings are thus well-equipped for any and every lifting procedure.

Powerflex P2 flat slings – flat sling with double protection
For rough working conditions
P2 flat slings made of hard-wearing material with loop reinforcement have an all-round secutex-Powerflex coating [1] and are thus particularly 1 resistant to wear and abrasion – which considerably increases their service life. Powerflex is a thin spray coating. Thanks to the special manufacturing procedure, „Powerflex“ can penetrate deep into the fabric. Foreign matter and liquids can no longer penetrate the fabric and can be easily brushed off the surface of the sling.
​
Two-sided coating
The Powerflex P2 flat sling is completely enveloped and thus protected from abrasion all-round. Both sides of the flat sling can be used as the contact side. Dangerous mix-ups are thus a thing of the past, and the two-sided coating also prolongs the service.

The robust D-links [3] are not only suitable for lifting procedures in a noose, but also fit into every crane hook. Both links have a guide channel which supports the entire width of the strap and allows for gliding with minimal wear.

If the safety catch is damaged, it can easily be replaced at the C-link
​
More possibilities with D-links
With D-links attached to both ends, you have considerably more flexibility. Simply thread one end of the strap through the opposite link – this ensures a lacing in which nothing can slip. Furthermore, the D-link makes it easier to hang the sling into spreader beams or crane hooks when applied in a single layer, as the links do not require a large contact area.

S2 flat slings – secutex-protected on both sides
Double protection – longer service life
Our S2 flat slings with two-sided secutex coating [1] are real workhorses. The coating penetrates deep into the fabric of the flat sling, creating an inseparable bond with unusually high structural strength. The advantage of the two-sided coating is that the flat sling can be placed against the load on both sides – application errors are thus excluded. The loops of the flat slings have a robust reinforced fabric, which withstands in particular the abrasion forces in the crane hook.
Optional: secutex-Tropic
As with all secutex-coated flat slings, the S2 slings can also be coated with secutex-Tropic on request. This is particularly useful in permanently moist conditions, e. g. in offshore operations. The hydrolysis-resistant coating prevents moisture and salt deposits from penetrating the textile fabric – two factors that can severely reduce the total load capacity of the flat sling.

02.6 COATED FLAT SLINGS
The Franz Plum GmbH & Co. KG specialises, among other things, in the rental of heavy-duty vehicles and cranes. For the construction of an apartment building, a truck-mounted crane weighing 24 t had to be lifted into the future underground garage of the building by an even larger crane with a load capacity of up to 130 t. This kind of lifting procedure is not uncommon, but in many cases it leads to problems. In consultation with our application engineer, the angle, weight of the crane, sharp edges, design of the load-bearing crane and many other factors were taken into account. Four MagnumPlus round slings with a load capacity of 25 t were eventually used, and the slings were protected from the razor-sharp edges of the crane by NoCut ®pad. The crane operator at Plum, Toni Gottschalk, commented about NoCut ®pad: „Unbelievable, what these ‚knee pads‘ can handle. I would not have thought it possible.“ The four-layer NoCut ® pads were equipped with buckles and sliders and were designed for particularly sharp edges, which allows for fixation directly on the sharp edges. This way it was possible to safely lift the crane without damaging the round slings.
​
If the radius or an edge is „sharp“, the edges of the load can damage the textile lifting gear in a major way, or even sever it in the worst case. In addition to NoCut ® pad, NoCut ® sleeve is the latest product for protecting against sharp edges. The protective sleeves and pads made of the high-performance fibre HPME are DEKRA-certified, have a high cut and abrasion resistance and are characterised by their low dead weight and a particularly flexible design. NoCut ® is designed with a fabric rib on both sides. On the outside, the ribbed design increases the cut resistance, and on the inside it makes it easier for the lifting gear to slide back and forth in the sleeve, which enables the turning and rotation of sharp-edged loads. As the leading manufacturer of polyurethane-coated protective sleeves, the SpanSet Group has for many years been producing tried-and-tested protective sleeves such as the SF-2, secuwave or the Clip-SC made of secutex, the polyurethane elastomer that is particularly cut- and wear-resistant.
​
With our extensive range of protective measures, we always have the right tool against the „sharp edge“.

In addition to the external factors, such as temperature, chemical environment or mechanical stress, „sharp edges“ still represent one of the main causes of damage to the lifting gear itself and are therefore a frequent cause of accidents. The majority of damages on sharp or rough edges occur by moving the load transversely to the lifting gear. If the edge is „sharp“, it can, in the worst case, cut through the lifting gear – accidents and damage are bound to happen. You should therefore protect your lifting gear with edge protection made of high-performance fibres developed especially for sharp edge: NoCut®!
​
Cut protection made of high-performance fibres
The high cut and wear resistance of HMPE (high-molecular polyethylene) led to the development of NoCut® sleeve and NoCut® pad. A trend in lifting technology! Because of their excellent properties, high-performance fibres are being used more and more frequently in the development of textile cut protection, sleeve hoses and lifting gear.
​
For the development of NoCut®, special testing equipment was constructed and built to allow the cut resistance of the fabric to be determined while testing the cutting impact at nominal load. The protective effect of NoCut® sleeve and NoCut® pad was tested on edges with varying degrees of sharpness and certified by DEKRA. Defined knowledge that does not leave any question unanswered during use and that has been certified by DEKRA!
Excellent properties
Of course NoCut® has been adapted to the different widths of the SpanSet flat slings and round slings. NoCut® is therefore excellent for protecting textile lifting gear, such as PowerStar flat slings and SupraPlus round slings – especially against damages caused by sharp edges when lifting loads. NoCut® cut protection has a very low dead weight and a compact design to ensure particularly ergonomic handling with less effort.

02.7 PROTECTIVE SLEEVES
NoCut® sleeve – woven protective sleeve for more safety
NoCut® sleeve is a woven protective sleeve for flat slings and round slings. The protective sleeve is simply slid over the lifting gear and positioned on the sharp edge of the load to protect the lifting gear. To protect the lifting gear, the fabric sleeve can also be used either for flat slings as shown in Fig. 1 or for round slings as shown in Fig. 3. On request, the single legs of a round sling can also be fitted with NoCut® sleeve as shown in Figure 5
​
Flexible and extremely cut-resistant
NoCut® sleeve is designed with a fabric rib on both sides. On the outside, the ribbed design increases the cut resistance, and on the inside it makes it easier for the lifting gear to slide back and forth in the sleeve, which enables raising of sharp-edged loads. The textile construction of NoCut® sleeve is supple and flexible, allowing NoCut® to be easily positioned on the load even in tight spaces.
​
The design of the sleeve with equally high all round cut resistance allows for a long service life, as it can be used on both sides, and offers the highest level of operational safety, as application errors are excluded. This is further supported by the label with handling instructions and clear identification sewn into the NoCut® sleeve.
​
Low dead weight
Products of the NoCut® series have a markedly low dead weight in comparison with conventional protective sleeves and are thus easier to handle. The material HMPE enables the use of NoCut® sleeve at a temperature range of -40 °C to +60 °C. The protective sleeve is delivered as a prefabricated cut with trimmed ends.
​
Tested safety
The cut resistance of NoCut® has been successfully tested in the laboratory and in field tests and certified by DEKRA. On page 86 you will find details about the edge radii on which NoCut® sleeve can be used.

NoCut® pad– protective plates against the „sharp edge“
NoCut® pad for round slings and flat slings is the combination of NoCut® sleeve with an internal fabric bridge that has fastening elements (see table) on both ends. NoCut® pad is mounted there where the lifting gear lies flat against the sharp edge. For the user this means: High flexibility, low material requirement and high safety when handling sharp-edged loads! The size of the edge protection can be exactly dimensioned for the danger area and precisely positioned on the sharp edge.
Multiple layers against sharp edges NoCut® pad is offered as a 2-layer or 4-layer version. This multilayer design achieves an extremely high level of cut protection and offers the user many options, also for critical lifting procedures. Even the smallest edge radii are no problem for the pads (see p. 86).
​
As with NoCut® sleeve, use of the high-performance fibres allows the user to deploy the textile protective plate in temperatures ranging from -40 °C up to +60 °C.

secutex veloxClip – protective sleeve with perpendicular slits
While the flexibility of conventional protective sleeves often makes for easy lifting, they can be rather uncomfortable when handling loads with a more compact size. Small gaps and limited contact areas make it difficult to handle the rigid protective sleeve.
The veloxClip is made with a slit on the reverse side, which makes it very flexible in the bending direction. In the longitudinal direction, the protective sleeve retains its valued properties and remains rigid. This makes it a very comfortable alternative, especially when lifting loads with more limited contact areas. It is easy to insert through low gaps and adapts flexibly to loads during lifting.
​
Different slit patterns
The position and distance of the slits can be freely selected, which means that the level of flexibility of the protective sleeve can also be influenced. This also helps to determine the exact position in which the sleeve is meant to be flexible.
​
secutex veloxClip is available for:
SupraPlus round slings - Magnum round slings _ MagnumPlus round slings - Liftfix round slings - 4-ply-CS flat slings - PowerStar flat slings - Liftfix flat slings

Permanent dimensional stability
The secutex Clip-SC, which can only be used on one side, can be very quickly clipped onto the lifting gear thanks to the mounting slot on the back. It is preferably used whenever round slings and flat slings with or without a protective sleeve are required on a case-by-case basis. The Clip-SC makes for easy handling and short set-up times. The secutex protective layer can be placed softly and flexibly on the load, thereby increasing the radius at the critical edges. The leverage forces are extensively distributed and the load remains undamaged.
​
Optional versatility
secutex Clip-SC is perfectly adapted to the SpanSet round slings and flat slings and is available in versions with different surface finishes and with reinforcement. For more information about secutex and the different surface finishes, see page 17.

SF-1 und SF-2 – protective sleeve with coating on one or two-sides
SF-1 – Protective sleeve coating on one side
The secutex SF-1 has been technically designed for optimal use with the SpanSet flat sling range or the SpanSet round slings. The contact side has a secutex coating, is extremely cut-resistant and reduces the formation of creases in the fabric. Easily clipped onto the textile lifting gear, the protective sleeve with the one-sided secutex coating equally protects the lifting gear and the load at „sharp edges“ and rough surfaces.
​
SF-2 – Protective sleeve coating on two sides
The SF-2 is particularly robust and this version has two contact sides to enable working on both sides. Both contact sides have a secutex coating, are extremely cut-resistant and reduce the formation of creases in the fabric. It is no longer necessary to turn the protective sleeve, and application errors are effectively prevented.
​
Designed for the application
secutex SF-1 and SF-2 are available in different surface finishes (page 17), such as „ground“, whose surface is slightly roughened. It is used whenever the contact side comes into contact with small amounts of liquids. The rough surface remains permanently slip-resistant.
The use of steel plates (reinforcement), which significantly increases cut resistance, or the Tropic-coating for use in permanently moist environments are optionally available. This means that the protective sleeve can be adapted to your individual application.

secuwave can handle every edge
secuwave is a thick coated protective sleeve that features a wave structure on the contact side. The wave structures increases the deflection radius on sharp edges. The edge lies inside the wave trough, while the load rests on the top of the wave. The sharp edge no longer has contact with the protective sleeve.
​
Be sure – but quickly
The secuwave protective sleeve is slipped onto the flat sling. The back of the protective sleeve has a longitudinal opening and can thus be easily slipped onto a round sling or another flat sling at any time – even if the lifting gear is already inside the crane hook.
​
secuwave mini
secuwave comes in two variants. Thanks to the different sizes, the right wave size can always be selected. In the small wave size „secuwave mini“, the thick coating is more flexible in the bending direction. The larger wave structure is robust and designed for use on large edges.

„Undetachable“ protective sleeve
Minimal wear with secumove
The intelligently designed secumove combines the advantages of a flat sling and secutex® protective sleeve for lifting rough loads. The protective sleeve with a secutex®-coating of at least 5 mm is positioned firmly against the edge of the load, while the textile flat sling can glide back and forth inside the tube to equalise the lengths. The result: There is no movement at the edge of the load due to stretching of the strap and positioning of the load. And where there is no movement, there is no wear – secumove therefore boasts an exceedingly high service life.
Typical uses include, for example, the careful lifting of machine parts, sheet packages, coils and other heavy goods with sharp edges.
​
Undetachable protective sleeve
Another advantage: The protective secutex®-coating is firmly attached to a loop of the flat sling. If you pull secumove from under the load on one side, the protective sleeve remains firmly in position and cannot be lost. This saves you lots of time in your daily work routine, as you no longer have to pull the sleeve up every time. Depending on the intended use, secumove is available with one-sided or two-sided secutex®-coating. To offer protection in particularly rough conditions, we also offer a version with additional reinforcement with metal plates

Convinced by the intuitive workflow with IDXpert ® – following an extensive testing phase – the inspection and management system was successfully introduced at Axzion GKS Stahl- und Maschinenbau GmbH. Among other things, the customers now benefit from the availability of the documents on the web portal, from where inspection certificates can be downloaded with a smartphone at any time from anywhere in the world. In just a few steps, search functions help to find the desired document in the database. The inspection service provider Sascha Weerda comments: „The self-made Excel solution had reached its limits and no longer met the demands of our customers.“ Less administration and a better overview of the service life of the lifting gear and recurrent damages are just a few advantages of the inspection and management software. In addition to inspections of e.g. spreader beams or coil hooks on behalf of customers at constantly changing sites of operation, Axzion also equips its own products, such as crane systems, PPE products or also IT equipment with transponders. „With IDXpert ®, our inspection service can successfully differentiate itself in the market environment, as our customer gets more value for his money and can concentrate on his core competencies“, says Sascha Weerda.
​
In addition to textile lifting gear and protective sleeves, SpanSet also offers additional aids that make work operations in lifting procedures safer, easier and more economical. For statutory product inspections within the context of accident prevention, SpanSet has played a pioneering role and developed IDX - pert ®. The system, comprised of hard- and software, simplifies and speeds up inspections and documentation. SpanSet also uses state-of-the-art technology to calculate the load capacity in lifting procedures. In addition to the tried-and tested load capacity controller, users can download the SpanSet „Lifting app“ for smartphones and tablets free of charge. With the SpanSet app, determining the load capacity becomes child‘s play not only for textile lifting gear, but also for chains and wire ropes. Edge protectors and shackles – also a meaningful addition in lifting procedures – complement our range of accessories.
Also in future you can rely on the fact that we at SpanSet will develop new technologies and aids and continue to set trends as the market leader in textile lifting gear.

Round slings, flat slings, spreader beams, lifting gear and points, magnets, manual lifting devices, cranes and roller doors are just some of the products whose functionality has to be checked on a regular basis. With so many products and test dates it is particularly important to maintain an overview and not to lose sight of the test dates prescribed by law.
​
Rely on testing efficiency
IDXpert® speeds up and simplifies the mandatory product tests, structures your documentation and reminds you of upcoming inspections. An indispensable increase in efficiency, made possible by the combination of radio-frequency identification technology – or RFID in short – with a modern database. The time-consuming process of searching for and archiving inspection certificates is now a thing of the past.
​
PC, tablet or smartphone
IDXpert® is incredibly flexible and is very different from the all other systems available on the market. The system can be operated in a network where data is synchronised continuously and is accessible to multiple users, or as a stand-alone solution on a PC, laptop or tablet. IDXpert® Mobil can also be operated on a smartphone (Motorola ES400) similar to a stand-alone solution in combination with the IDXpert database. In conjunction with the components, database, reading device and RFID transponder, the user is able to carry out tests with a minimum of hardware (Motorola ES400, IDXchanger MSLB).
​
Call up data online
In addition, the online platform IDXpert® Portal gives you the option of saving the product and test data you have already collected, free of charge, which allows you to call up and view test data and test certificates at any time over the internet, for example using a smartphone.
​
Reading devices and RFID transponders
A range of writing/reading devices (p. 98/99) to meet each individual user‘s requirements is available – from small and handy to particularly robust or protected against dust and spray water. For the transponders, in cooperation with the manufacturers we have developed models that have already proven their worth in the industry. Writing the test and product data to the transponders allows the user to document the testing of a product at any time, without having to call up the database. A major advantage and part of the system philosophy. However, products that are fitted with non-writeable RFID transponders (according to SpanSet specification 1) and products without a transponder can equally be processed by IDXpert®. Flexibility that makes it easy for you to introduce the system and prevents high investment hurdles.

Optimal fit between the shackles and round slings
SpanSet has tested the ExoSet shackles in extensive test series in combination with the SpanSet round slings. This way, the optimal shackle for each round sling could be identified. This was achieved by perfectly adapting the contact area inside the shackle bracket, whereby shackles and round slings with the same load capacity were tested. At the same time, the ExoSet shackles offer a consistently high manufacturing quality with low tolerances, and its contact surfaces are burr-free and polished.

Please note:
Lifting capacities for 4-leg slings apply only for symmetric loads and equal leg lengths! For asymmetric loads, please use the load lifting factors of the 2-leg slings.
The SpanSet Lifting app
The SpanSet „Lifting Calculator“ is the digital further development of the tried-and-tested analogue lifting force controller and is designed to determine the required lifting gear for any tasks involving lifting and moving loads. Because the same basic laws of physics apply to all types of lifting gear when lifting loads, the SpanSet app can be used not only for textile lifting gear such as flat slings and round slings, but also for chains and wire ropes.
Really easy to use
You just have to enter two parameters: The weight of the load and the slinging configuration, e. g. one leg, several legs, with or without an angle, noosed etc.
In total, the app allows you to choose between 14 different slinging configurations. The angles can then be entered manually if they are known. Alternatively, if the leg length and the length and width of the load are known, you can make measurements with calculations or using sensors on your smartphone. For this purpose, the app has an angle measuring device. To increase the safety and user friendliness, angles that are not within the permitted range are displayed in red and a warning indicates that only angles between 1 and 60 degrees are supported.
Precise and comprehensive
One special feature of the app is its high precision in the calculation of load capacities determined on the basis of DIN EN 1492-1 and 1492-2. This means that you do not have to simply choose angles in accordance with the norm in the prescribed ranges of 6° to 45° and 45° to 60°. The app also allows you to freely enter intermediate values for the angles. On the basis of these precise rather than approximate lifting angles, the app accurately determines the actually required load capacity of the lifting gear. As well as contributing to increased safety, this can have many economic advantages for the user. The load capacity is displayed as the WLL (Working Load Limit), after which the use can select a corresponding piece of SpanSet lifting gear or order it directly online.

Determining the load capacity is very easy with the SpanSet Lifting Calculator.
​
01 The weight of the load first has to be entered and the slinging configuration has to be selected.
​
02 After that, the app indicates the required WLL of the lifting gear in consideration of the two angle ranges. They are always calculated for the worst possible angle within this range, i.e. 45° and 60°. This is also the procedure followed by the employers‘ liability insurance association. Afterwards, the required WLL of the lifting gear has to be entered (in the example these are 11,905 and 16,667 kg), so that the correct lifting gear can then be selected. Alternatively, the round slings and flat slings previously determined by the app can be selected.
​
03 The user also has the option of calculating the load capacity in consideration of the real angle. To do this, the option „calculate“ has to be selected. The user now has the option of determining the angle in three different ways.
​
04 After that, the lifting app shows the user the required load capacity under the real angle, which is 9,623 kg in the example. The customer can thus carry out this lifting procedure with a round sling with a WLL of 10 t.
​
Advantage:
The customer can lift the load with a 10-t lifting gear, which has advantages concerning the weight and space requirements of the lifting gear

Why SpanSet seminars provide for more safety in lifting. It is Thursday afternoon and Chris Danneberg from the company Günther Tore System GmbH has just received his seminar certificate and the SpanSet ID card with which he can prove his expertise at any time. Mr. Danneberg and 15 other attendees from other companies have just completed a two-day seminar in lifting technology in which they refreshed their specialist knowledge. The „STZ“ training centre on the premises of SpanSet is perfect for offering seminars in lifting. Current know-how is taught in a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical applications. „SpanSet has its own testing laboratory. Here we are able to show the participants in a live demonstration what can happen in the event of application errors or when defective lifting gear is used“, says seminar manager Jörg Scheilen. Practical examples, product knowledge, laws and standards are just some of the seminar contents. „For me, the focus on sharp edges and the available protection options are particularly interesting and informative – application errors won‘t happen to me here“, says Chris Danneberg.
​
As a trusted partner in lifting technology, we want to be more than just a manufacturer of high-quality textile lifting gear. We want to support you and your employees in effectively preventing risks in your daily work. For this reason, SpanSet offers a variety of basic and further training sessions on lifting at our Safety Training Centre „STZ“ in Übach-Palenberg, at 14 further locations in Germany and one location in Austria. Our certified and trained speakers all have a practical background and help you to deepen your expertise, to learn new concepts and to understand current changes in the one- and two-day seminars. In addition to our seminars and workshops we offer our customers other aids that make their daily work safer and more effective. For example, the SpanSet departments have developed a brochure all about the „sharp edge“ which is available to download from our website free of charge.
Application errors due to lack of knowledge will thus be a thing of the past. We at SpanSet strive to make work safer bit by bit – either in the form of training sessions, brochures or professional advice.
