EXTREEMA® HMPE Soft Slings

Lift-Tex is a 50 years Heavy-Lift synthetic fiber soft slings manufacturer company in the Netherlands, had been designed, developed, and distributed the Extreema® Heavy-Lift HMPE soft slings in over 35 countries worldwide. TMC Far East is proud to be the sole distributor for Extreema® HMPE products in Malaysia and Singapore.

EXTREEMA® Core

The construction of an Extreema® soft sling is based on parallel laid fiber technology. The core is always made of 100% high performance fibers such as Dyneema® (the world’s strongest fiber^TM) or general purpose HMPE.

1. Bio-based Dyneema® known as “the world’s strongest fiber^TM

An Ultra High Modulus PolyEthylene Fiber (HMPE/UHMWPE)
Maximum strength with minimum weight
D:d = 1:1 for round slings up to 160T, above this D:d = 1:1.5 whereby steel wire rope starting from 5:1 depending on different standards whereby Polyester Sling is 1:2 small WLL, 1:3 high WLL
Small diameter (Dyneema® WLL 3T 8mm core / polyester WLL 3T 19mm core), Dyneema® core is up to 2.5 times smaller than polyester.
Less than 1% stretch at WLL, suitable for calculated lifts
Up to 7-8 times stronger than steel whereby Polyester Sling is only 2 times on weight for weight basis
Up to 40% stronger than aramid fibers
Up to 80% weight reduction compared to steel wire rope whereby up to 60% weight reduction compared to Polyester Sling
Specific gravity (g/cm3) is 0.97 (float on water)
Extremely durable & resistant to moisture, UV lights and chemicals
Soft and safe to handle compare to steel wire rope
Environmentally friendly
Can be supplied with EU-origin certificate of the core material
DNV Approval of manufacture certificate by DSM Dyneema®

2. HMPE

75% less elongation compared to Polyester Slings
No rust or corrosion compared to steel wire ropes
High life cycle compared to polyester slings
Extremely ergonomic compared to synthetic or steel ropes
Resistant against chemicals except oxidizing acids
Extremely durable & resistant to moisture, UV lights and chemicals
Accompanied with a Certificate of Conformity acc. To the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC

EXTREEMA® Products Range

Extreema® HMPE XS Round Slings

Lift heavy payloads when you have to work with limited spaces with the extra thin WLL 3T, 5T & 10T Extreema® HMPE XS round slings. The slings are available in very short effective working lengths (EWL) from 0.3 meters to 20 meters. With its extremely small diameter (D:d ratio of 1:1) allow you to use regular shackles instead of more expensive wide body shackles so you can save cost on the rigging equipment. It can be one size fits all, such as WLL 3T (6T basket), WLL 5T (10T basket) and WLL 10T (20T basket). In directly, it helps to save costs in storage, logistic, purchasing and disposal as well as increase efficiency and faster workflow for your employees.

Features:

Access to limited lifting space
D:d ratio of 1:1 (>200T D:d = 1:1.5)
Flexible and light in weight
Cost savings and less storage required
Long life cycle
Safer lifting operations
Improving workflow
Environmentally friendly

Extreema® The Black Belt Slingᵀᴹ

With the Parallel laid fiber technology, the Black jacket is made from Cordura® which is resistance to abrasions, tears, and scuffs. The result of the Break lost tests of the Black Belt Sling^TMon Ramshorn DIN shaped hooks compared to braided synthetic ropes are between 30%-50% higher MBL’s.

The service temperatures range from -40°C up to +100°C, a perfect fit for lifting objects with higher temperature, therefore EP-C protection is recommended to prevents damage and resistant against higher temperatures and to friction and abrasion.

Inferno®: the heat resistant soft sling

With ultra-heat resistant Inferno® soft sling, it is possible to lift under extreme heat condition even though the temperature rises to 200°C while maintain its strength. The sling is YELLOW and made of 100% Aramid with working length from 0.5 meters to 65 meters and WLL up to 100t. Optional to produce in the black color up to 2.5t upon request.

Features:

Soft, light in weight, easy to handle and position
Maintains its strength up to 200°C(!) and high abrasion resistance
Low D:d ratio
Safer lifting operations
Improves workflow
