Wire Rope Slings
Least Expensive Per Capacity Of All Steel Slings
Lift-All wire rope slings are both flexible and resistant to abrasion. These characteristics are determined by the rope construction. Fewer wires result in larger diameter wires, better abrasion resistance, and reduced flexibility. More wires result in decreased wire diameter, reduced abrasion resistance, increased flexibility, and kink resistance. Wire rope products may be proof-tested upon request. If they contain swaged terminations and will be used as a sling, they will be 100% proof tested.
Numerous body constructions, such as bridle slings, endless slings, and eye-and-eye slings, allow for use in a variety of applications. Lift-All wire rope slings are made using the Flemish Eye Splice technique. Unlike the simple return loop method, which places 100% of its strength on the swaged sleeve, wire rope slings have reserve strength should the sleeve become damaged in use.
Wire Rope SlingsLift-All® wire rope slings are made using the Flemish Eye splice technique to form the eyes. Unlike the simple return loop method that places 100% of its strength on the swaged sleeve, wire rope slings have reserve strength should the sleeve become damaged in use.
- Reserve strength: Integrity of eyes not solely dependent upon steel sleeves.
- When specified, thimble eyes protect wire rope from wear for increased life.
- Good abrasion resistance for longer life.
Bridle Wire Rope Slings
- Bridles provide better load control and balance.
- Independent wire rope core resists crushing.
- Alloy steel hardware assures long life.
- Thimble eyes protect wire rope from wear for increased life.
- Reduces load damage by using fixed points on load.
- Easier rigging provided when hooking into fixed lifting points.
Endless Wire Rope Slings
Made from one 6X19 or 6X37 EIPS IWRC wire rope, mechanically joined with steel sleeves. Achieves higher capacities at a lower cost.
- Load stability and balance can be achieved by spreading sling legs in a basket or choker hitch.
- Wear points can be shifted to extend sling life.
- The most versatile style of sling – fewer slings to inventory.
- More flexible than eye slings of comparable strength.
- Ideal for turning loads.
Eye/Eye Style Slings
- Reserve strength: Integrity of eyes not solely dependent upon steel sleeves.
- When specified, thimble eyes protect wire rope from wear for increased life.
- Good abrasion resistance for longer life.
