CORNERMAX WEAR PADS PATENT PENDING Covermax wear pads are good for abrasion protection but a different type of wear pad is best to protect the sling from corners and edges. The new CornerMax wear pad forms a tunnel between the pad and the edge, greatly reducing the possibility of contact and cutting. These pads can have fixed loops or hook & loop attachments for easy installation on the sling at the point of contact. They can protect the sling from loads up to 100,000 lbs.
