Liftex® PAC-FLEX® - Premium Alloy Chain Mesh Slings

Premium Alloy Chain (PAC) Mesh Slings are your solution to wire mesh slings. 2" wide PAC-Flex is 260% stronger than 2" wide wire mesh sling and lighter weight for handling. With temperature ratings of 400°F sling is  that are heavier, for multiple lifting uses in metalworking and other applications where the loads are abrasive, hot or will tend to cut other types of slings.

• PAC-Flex Sling Features
• Flat, smoother bearing surfaces than wire mesh
• Higher tensile strength alloy steel chain
• Flexibility to conform to irregular shapes
• Withstands temperatures to 400°F
• Excellent resistance to abrasion and cutting
• Easy to inspect - use the same inspection criteria used for other alloy chain slings
• Easy to repair - each individual component can be repaired or replaced by Liftex as needed to reduce costs
• PAC-Flex vs. Wire Mesh slings
• Our 2" wide sling is 260% stronger than comparable 2" wide wire mesh
• Our 4" wide sling is 200% stronger than comparable 4" wire mesh slings
• Bi-Directional Flexibility: means better load control and longer sling life

Governing Standards

• ASME B30.9 — slings (web, round, wire rope, chain) inspection and use
• ASME B30.26 — rigging hardware (shackles, eye bolts, links, turnbuckles)
• ASME B30.10 — hooks
• OSHA 1910.184 and 1926.251 — general industry and construction sling safety
• WSTDA WS-2 and RS-1 — web and round sling design
• 49 CFR 393.102 to 393.130 — DOT cargo tie-down
• NACM — welded steel chain grade specs

Inspection & Safety

Before every use: visual check for cracks, corrosion, distortion, wear, and illegible markings. Annually (minimum): documented periodic inspection by a trained inspector. Remove from service at first sign of damage. Never repair rigging hardware by welding, heating, or bending.

WARNING: Improper use of rigging can cause death or serious injury. Never exceed the rated Working Load Limit. Apply derating for side-loading, elevated temperature, or chemical exposure. Final application decisions must be made by a Qualified Person per OSHA 1926.32(m).
