Custom Wire Rope Sling Class
Wire rope construction refers to how many strands make up the rope and how many wires make up one strand and is nominally indicated by the class: 6x19 or 6x36. The first number indicates the number of outer strands around the core, while the second number is an estimation of the number of wire making up each outer strand.
-
6x19
6x19 is the most common option and is the standard for wire rope with a diameter of 1" or less. It provides superior abrasion-resistance.
-
6X36
For larger diameter rope slings, 6x36 is most often used. It's more flexible, but is more susceptible to abrasion-related damage.
-
7x7x7
The 7x7x7 rope slings are generally used for more specialized applications – they are incredibly flexible and more resistant to kinking than standard wire rope.
Rotation-resistant wire rope is also available - you can specify that in the "Unsure / Other" text box.
Grade, Core, & Finish
Bright (unfinished) wire rope is the most common choice. It's coated with a lubricant to reduce friction and to provide a limited amount of protection against corrosion.
If more corrosion-resistance is needed, choose a galvanized or stainless steel finish.
Our slings are made from extra improved plowed steel (EIPS) and come with an independent wire rope core (IWRC) for extra strength and crush-resistance. If you are looking for another wire rope type, please let us know!
End Hardware
While we've listed out the most common options below, there are plenty of other sling hooks you can use for custom wire rope slings. Simply clarify what you are looking for in "Other" text box and we will reach out if we need more information!
-
Eye
Most of our wire rope sling eyes are mechanical splice Flemish eyes for reliability and strength.
-
Thimble
Similar to an eye end fitting, this configuration includes a heavy-duty thimble to protect the eye from wear and tear.
-
Eye Hook
Latched eye hooks ensure safe and secure connections - the latch prevents accidental disconnections.
-
Thimble with Sliding Choker
The sliding hook allows for an adjustable choker hitch around the load for better versatility.
Our wire rope slings meet or exceed the requirements of ASME B30.9.
