Secuwave [sws]

secutex protective sleeves protect loads and textile lifting accessories against marks left by handling. If an edge exceeds the range covered by the norm, the usual textile lifting accessories can no longer be used in conjunction with the secutex protective sleeve. If the edge radius of a load is less than 2 mm, lifting experts refer to it as a “critically sharp edge“. secuwave and secuwave Mini are thicklycoated protective sleeves with a wave structure on the contact side. The wave structure increases the bending radius of “sharp edges”. The edge lies in a wave trough, while the load rests on the wave peak. Therefore, the “sharp edge“ has no contact with the protective sleeve. secuwave is delivered as a clip. This means that it can be subsequently added to a lifting situation. secuwave is available in two versions. The various sizes mean that the suitable wave size can be used. The smaller wave size means that the thick coating is more flexible in the bending direction.

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.

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.

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.
