Compressed Steel Wire Rope Sling
A wire rope sling is a type of lifting sling used in various industries for lifting and securing heavy loads. It is made up of multiple strands of wire rope twisted together to form a strong and flexible sling. Wire rope slings are known for their strength, durability, and resistance to abrasion and crushing.
Construction: Wire rope slings are typically composed of individual wires twisted together to form strands. These strands are then twisted together to create a steel wire rope. The number of strands and wires can vary depending on the required strength and load capacity.
Strength and flexibility: Wire rope slings are designed to withstand heavy loads and provide high tensile strength. The multiple strands and wires in the rope distribute the load evenly, reducing the stress on individual wires and enhancing overall strength. The flexibility of the wire rope allows it to conform to the shape of the load, making it more versatile for lifting various objects.
End fittings: Wire rope slings are often equipped with end fittings called terminations, which enable easy attachment to lifting equipment or hooks. Common termination types include hooks, thimbles, eye loops, and shackles. These fittings help secure the load and ensure safe lifting.
Load capacity and safety factors: The load capacity of a wire rope sling depends on factors such as the diameter of the rope, the number of wires and strands, and the configuration of the sling. It is important to consider the working load limit (WLL) specified by the manufacturer and adhere to safety factors to ensure safe lifting operations.
Wire rope slings are commonly used in construction, maritime, and industrial settings for a wide range of applications, including rigging, material handling, and lifting heavy machinery or components. As with any lifting equipment, proper training, usage guidelines, and adherence to safety protocols are important to ensure the safe and efficient use of wire rope slings.

Cautions:
ALWAYS:
• Store and handle wire rope slings correctly.
• Inspect wire rope slings and accessories before use and before placing into storage.
• Follow safe slinging practices, as given overleaf.
• Fit slings carefully, protect them from sharp edges and position hooks to face outward from the load.
• Apply the correct mode factor for the slinging arrangement.
• Back hook free legs to the master link.
NEVER:
• Attempt to shorten, knot or tie wire rope slings.
• Force, hammer or wedge slings or their fittings into position.
• Lift on the point of the hook.
• Use wire rope slings in acidic conditions without consulting the supplier.
• Use wire rope slings at temperatures above 100°C or below minus 40°C without consulting the supplier.
• Shock load wire rope slings.
