WHAT’S NEW CROSBY INTRODUCES THE NEW G-414SL LOCKING THIMBLE SYSTEM
Crosby® is pleased to introduce the new Crosby Locking Thimble System featuring the new G-414SL Locking Thimble. Shackles are some- times substituted with inferior or improperly sized shackles in the fi eld, compromising the integrity of a wire rope sling assembly. To avoid this, Crosby has created the new G-414SL Locking Thimble System, utilizing a thimble designed with a lock mechanism which prohibits removal of shackle when properly applied.
The Crosby G-414SL Locking Thimble provides several advantages due to its simplistic, patented locking design. Once a Crosby shackle and new G-414SL thimble are combined, the locking system keeps the “sling set” intact, by preventing the removal of the shackle. This assures the assembly is not compromised in the fi eld, and the rated integrity and compliance standards are maintained. The G-414SL Locking Thimble can be used across a broad range of industries, and is ideal for use on DNV 2.7-1 Off shore Container slings. Effi ciency, costs and time associated with installation in the fi eld are improved because the product is preassembled. Wire rope is not compromised by exposure to the high temperatures of welding because no welding is required due to preassembly of sling. The need for special fi ttings is eliminated with the Crosby G-414SL Locking Thimble System as it utilizes standard, off -the-shelf Crosby shackles.

WHAT’S NEW INCREASED EFFICIENCY IN POLYESTER ROUNDSLINGS
Filtec Precise Inc., a pioneer in the roundsling core yarn supply industry, is proud to announce their newest innovation EPP – Engineered Polyester Power. EPP is a core yarn designed specifi cally for high capacity polyester roundslings.
Appropriate for size 7 (blue) and above this core yarn can off er much faster fabrication times and sling effi ciency gains thru higher breaking strength and/or less total denier use. Verifi ed through extensive trials at a number of shops across the country the EPP core yarns can increase sling effi ciency as much as 15% in very large (45+ ton vertical capacity) slings. EPP off ers this performance advantage thru a scientifi cally designed proprietary fi nish.
“We developed EPP based on feedback from shops all around the world; this proprietary fi nish is one of many revolutionary advancements by Filtec.” said Jim Bailey, President. One of the fi rst innovations from Filtec Precise was EHP – Engineered Hybrid Power that set the stage for greater market availability of High Performance Hybrid Roundslings.
