Wire rope sling

2-pointsteelgalvanised steel

Overview
Two Leg Wire Rope Sling is manufactured from high-strength galvanized or bright steel wire rope formed into two legs connected to a master link assembly. Available termination options include soft eyes, thimble eyes, ferrule-secured eyes, hand-spliced eyes and mechanically spliced eyes. Each sling is individually serial numbered and marked with rope diameter, sling length and Working Load Limit (WLL) for full traceability.

Introduction
This two-leg lifting assembly connects two wire rope legs to a master link and is terminated with hooks, shackles or eye fittings to suit application requirements. Made from high-strength steel wire rope, the sling delivers flexibility and high tensile capacity. The two-leg configuration distributes loads across two attachment points to improve stability and reduce stress concentration during lifts. Typical applications include lifting machinery, steel structures, precast concrete, offshore equipment, pipes, fabricated components and other heavy loads in construction, shipbuilding, ports, mining and industrial plants.

Main Steel Wire Rope (6×37+FC, 6×37+IWR)
Documentation provides tensile strength and minimum breaking load tables for common rope constructions and core types (NF, SF, IWR/IWS, FC) across nominal diameters from 5 mm, with tensile strength classes (1570–1960 MPa) and approximate weights (kg/100m). Specification matrices and images for multiple constructions are provided.
