SPANSET SECUTEX GMBH

The SKDS hinged edgeprotector is a massive edge protector for cable grummets. The edgeprotector flexibly adapts to the load, increasing the radius over critical edges and distributing the lifting forces over a larger area. The cable and load are equally protected. It is available in two versions, featuring either a steel or aluminium hinge.

By means of a hinge, the edge protector SKB can be optimally suited to fit any load geometry. It can be optionally equipped with magnets to better retain its position on the magnetic load. The edge protector can be quickly secured to the edge of the lashing belt by means of mounting slits. The lashing belt slides through the secutex clip which remains on the lashing belt despite collisions. Optionally available Magnets for easy fixation of the magnetic load

If the load has sharp edges or has a rough outer surface, a suitable abrasion or edge protector must be used. secutex edgeprotectors are easy and versatile to use. The extremely robust secutex edgeprotectors protect the load and the lashing belts. They increase the radius of the edge and prevent “sharp edges”. The corner edgeprotector SWH for lashing belts considerably increases the radius on the corners. It is particularly robust and durable thanks to the perforatedplate reinforcement. An optional magnetic version can be easily attached to the magnetic load.

Even when securing the load, the lashing material must be protected from the “sharp edge“. Highvalue loads may not be damaged by lashing chains. The secutex SKKE simple edgeprotector is simply placed onto the chain via the slit on the reverse side, making it impossible to lose. The edgeprotector is light and flexible. Due to the low deadweight and flexible textile reinforcement, the edgeprotector can be attached easily and quickly to the load. Important note The secutex SKKE simple edgeprotector is not intended for prolonged use.

The attachment chain may only be used as an attachment accessory without edge protection if a 20% reduction in load lifting capacity is taken into consideration or if the nextlargest chain thickness is used. Otherwise, a secutex SKK hinged edgeprotector must be used. A “sharp edge” exists when the edge radius is smaller than the nominal thickness of the lifting chain. Further information is available in the “sharp edge“ chapter.

For particularly heavy loads, normal secutex protective sleeves can only be used for larger edge radii because the heavyload round slings under load are up to 80 mm thick. According to the technical definition, this creates a “sharp edge“. Both the loadbearing round slings as well as the protective sleeve will be destroyed by the forces which occur here. The secuwave edge protector increases the load’s edge radius. The wave profile helps the edge protector adapt to the load. The castin perforated plate then permanently keeps the shape. The additional secutex protective sleeve reliably prevents the edge protector from moving through the heavyload round sling. Possible applications bridge elements, machinery, gear segments etc.

The secutex chain sleeve protects the chain (sandblasting) and the slinger. The protective hose is not well suited for the intensive use and transport of sharpedged parts due to the high surface pressure and the lack of reinforcement. Please note The chain hoses are designed for chains of quality class 8 that conform to standards.

secutex protection also for wire ropes secutex protective sleeves in combination with Spanset lifting slings are always the best choice for lifting machinery elements and other loads. Because of the design, the lifting slings are wide, the load is distributed over a relatively large area. But sometimes secutex protective sleeves are also required for wire ropes. The wire ropes have an almost round diameter, the surface area to the load is rather small and the stress per area is high. In general, the use of wire rope sleeves can only be recommended for the lifting of large, round loads, i.e. without sharp or angular edges. There are slotted and also unslotted secutex wire rope protective sleeves available for one or two strands. The slotted variants can easily be assembled afterwards, the closed types, on the other hand, have to be installed during the manufacture of the wire ropes. Please note that the wire ropes often have a larger diameter than the nominal size

The protection against „sharp edges“ Alongside other factors such as temperature, chemical environment and mechanical loads, the „sharp edge“ remains one of the main causes of damage to the lifting accessory itself and frequent cause of accidents. Most damage on sharp or rough edges is the result of load movement perpendicular to the load lifting accessory. If the edge is „sharp“ it can, in a worstcase scenario, cut through the lifting accessory. If the load moves laterally, a cutting movement takes place at the edge. Much like the blade of a knife, the edge can cut through the fibres of the textile lifting accessory. For loads with a „sharp edge“ or with a rough surface, a protective sleeve or fixed coating is recommended to protect the textile lifting strap.

If the edge radius is smaller than the thickness of the lifting strap, the edge is considered „sharp“. Lateral motion or pressure alone may be enough to cut through the textile fibres of the lifting strap. The 56 mm secutex coating sits between the load and the textile load lifting accessory. The edge radius is increased by this layer. The edge is no longer sharp against the lifting strap and lift forces are directed away from the edge.
