Wear Pads & Sleeves
Wear pads give a sling extra protection where it wears the most. They can be furnished in either webbing or leather. Leather pads are more resistant to wear and cutting, but are subject to gradual deterioration from oils, grease and dirt. Nylon webbing wear pads are fully resistant to oils, grease, and they stretch in proportion to the sling.

REGULAR – This is the type that is sewn on to give fixed protection at expected wear points. They can be sewn anywhere on the sling, at any length on one side or on both sides.

EDGEGUARD – A strip of webbing or leather is sewn around each edge of the sling, extending approximately 1/2” onto the face of the webbing. This is necessary for certain applications where sling edges are subject to damage.

SLEEVE – Sometimes called sliding sleeve or tube type wear pads, these pads are suggested for handling material with sharp edges. Sleeves cover both sides of the sling and can be shifted to wear points.
