Your safety partner for your lifting equipment
In lifting operations, safety does not depend solely on the sling’s lifting capacity. Equipment protection, load preservation, and user safety also play a vital role.
With this in mind, LIFTEUROP offers Flexfort, a protective neoprene coating designed for wire rope lifting slings.
Developed for demanding environments, Flexfort helps extend the service life of wire rope slings, protect sensitive loads, and enhance operator safety during handling operations.
Flexfort is a neoprene coating that acts as a protective layer between the wire rope, the load being lifted, and the user.
Its purpose is threefold:
This coating is particularly recommended when the load has a sensitive surface or when direct contact with a wire rope sling could damage the item being lifted.
STAS wire rope slings, manufactured by LIFTEUROP, are designed to meet the requirements of professional lifting operations. However, like any equipment subjected to mechanical stress, they can be exposed to wear caused by repeated friction, contact with loads, frequent handling, or specific operating conditions.
Flexfort helps limit these factors by providing additional protection for the wire rope.
By reducing direct contact between the sling and its environment, this coating helps preserve the equipment over time. It therefore contributes to increased durability and more controlled use of lifting equipment.
For companies, this represents a tangible benefit: equipment that is better protected, longer lasting, and more suited to field conditions.
Certain loads require special attention, particularly painted, machined, finished, fragile parts or components with surfaces that must remain free from marks.
During lifting operations, direct contact with a wire rope or chain can cause scratches, marks, impacts, or visible damage.
The Flexfort coating creates a protective interface between the wire rope sling and the handled load. Thanks to its neoprene composition, it helps reduce marking and preserve the integrity of the load.
This protection is particularly valuable in industries where surface quality is a critical requirement.
Operator safety is a top priority for LIFTEUROP, and Flexfort fully supports this commitment.
By limiting direct contact with the wire rope, the coating helps improve safety during handling operations. It can also provide greater user comfort, especially when slings are handled repeatedly.
This additional protection helps reduce certain risks associated with friction, direct contact with the wire rope, or the handling of metal equipment.
Flexfort therefore contributes to a comprehensive prevention approach in which every detail matters to ensure safer lifting operations.
