The Black Belt Sling by Extreema® is not just any lifting sling; it is a revolutionary product specifically designed to tackle the challenges of heavy lifting projects. In this blog, we take a closer look at the unique features, benefits, and applications of the Black Belt Sling.
What Makes the Extreema® Black Belt Sling Unique?
The Extreema® Black Belt Sling stands out for its unparalleled strength and durability. This is made possible by the use of an Dyneema® or HMPE (Trosar®) core using cutting-edge parallel-laid fiber technology. Both of these fibers offer exceptional tensile strength and abrasion resistance while being significantly lighter than traditional materials like steel and polyester.
Another unique aspect of the Black Belt Sling is that it is wrapped in a black knitted Cordura® sleeve, crafted in our factory. The Cordura® sleeve is known for the high resistance against abrasions, tears, scuffs and friction (heat / pressure) and therefore suitable for the real heavy lifting loads.
Key features include:
- High breaking strength: Ideal for extremely heavy loads.
- Lightweight design: Easy to handle, even at large lengths.
- Minimal stretching: Ensures precision during lifting.
- Abrasion resistance: Withstands chafing, cutting, and other forms of wear and tear.
- Weather resistance: Resilient to extreme temperatures, moisture, and UV exposure.
Applications of the Black Belt Sling
The versatility of the Black Belt Sling makes it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, including:
- Offshore and maritime: Lifting heavy anchors, oil rigs, and ship components.
- Construction: Moving concrete structures, steel beams, and other building materials.
- Energy: Transporting and installing wind turbines and other energy-related equipment.
- Aerospace: Hoisting sensitive, high-value components.
Maintenance and Durability:
To increase the durability and The Black Belt Sling can be equipped with our innovative Extreema® Pink EP-C, crafted from the super-durable Cordura® fiber with Velcro. This specialized protection ensures maximum resistance against abrasions, tears, and scuffs, making it an ideal choice for preventing damage to your lifting payload.
