Sling Accessories

FLOK supplies sling accessories: wedge sockets, hooks, links, thimbles for synthetic slings, wire ropes and chains.

Sling accessories expand the range of applications for slings. They are used for lifting and lowering loads, and are applied on synthetic slings, wire ropes and chains secured to cranes or beams.

Types of accessories

Common types:

  • Wedge sockets. Shaped like a flattened cylinder. Used to make wire rope slings by swaging.
  • Hooks. Used as gripping components in slings and other types of flexible rigging. They vary by type depending on the load weight.
  • Links. Devices with a range of design features. Used to connect parts, create load-bearing elements, and in manufacturing facilities.
  • Thimbles. Shaped similarly to a semicircle with grooves for securing wire ropes. Fitted into a wire rope loop to protect against abrasion. Often used when forming loops on the end sections of a wire rope.

The choice of fastening component depends on the specific application conditions.
