Predominantly used in rigging and heavy material handling applications, Wire Rope Slings consist of multiple strands of steel wire twisted or braided together to form a strong and flexible rope structure.
Commonly used to lift, hoist, or secure extremely heavy loads in construction, manufacturing, shipping, and offshore operations, there are many advantages to opting for wire rope slings over conventional chain slings or fabric sling assemblies.
Wire rope slings are commonly known for their high strength and durability, making them suitable for handling heavy loads. The strength of each sling is determined by factors such as rope diameter, number of strands, and material composition.
The flexibility of wire rope allows it to conform to the shape of the load, making it a versatile choice for various lifting scenarios. This flexibility also contributes to ease of handling and storage.
Wire ropes are designed specifically to withstand abrasion and crushing, which are common challenges in the lifting and rigging world. They are often coated or galvanised to enhance their resistance to corrosion.
Wire slings typically have a range of end fittings and attachments, such as loops, eyes, and hooks, that facilitate their connection to the selected lifting equipment. These end fittings are securely attached to the wire rope through splicing or other safe methods.
Wire rope slings come in various configuration, such as single-leg, multi-leg, and braided slings, each designed for specific lifting requirements.
As with all lifting equipment, it is crucial that you follow safety guidelines when using wire rope slings to ensure correct and safe lifting practices.
Regular inspection and maintenance is also essential to identify any signs of wear, damage, or degradation that could compromise the integrity of the sling and pose a serious – potentially life threatening - safety risk.
