Wire Rope Loop Sling

A wire rope loop sling is a straight length of high-strength rope with loops at both ends. Depending on application, the rope is made from steel wire strands, natural textile fiber or synthetic fiber.

Choosing the right sling depends not only on the material and the rated load. It is important to correctly plan the load rigging scheme and calculate the optimal size and number of components for the specific task. Wire rope slings with end loops are available with one, two and four legs.

Loops are formed in one of two ways:

• splicing the end into the body of the rope — such slings are flexible and suitable for wrapping and cinching loads;
• pressing with a metal sleeve — this rigging is more rigid and suitable for lifting, lowering and moving heavy loads.

Wire rope loop slings are a versatile tool for loading and unloading, storage and moving heavy loads. The rigging is resistant to dynamic loads and has high load-bearing capacity. Extra care is required when working with fragile loads.
