Slingset

Wire rope sling, This is a three part wire rope sling developed to give the rigger the advantages of strength combined with greater flexibility. It was created to replace large diameter single part wire rope slings which proved awkward and stiff. Tri-Flex® Slings are now manufactured in sizes from 1 ton to 145 ton capacity. Steel erectors, millwrights and riggers use Tri-Flex® slings for everything from steel erection or machinery moving to any type of heavy lift. These slings are made in matching lengths.

Lifting slings, This is the strongest multi-part sling with great flexibility. It will develop its full strength on small pins with a Dd ratio of 11 where D is the pin and d is the sling body. (41 Dd when comparing the pin to the component parts.) For heavy lifting work this is the most efficient wire rope sling that meets all of the standards. The eyes have the wire ropes (12) laid in parallel so that there is no cross over and then they are wrapped with heavy duty material to keep them in position. It is an excellent choice when you have to use small pins. This sling was developed to meet conditions specified by the US Navy and the Wire Rope Technical Board Sling Manual.

A sling connects the crane hook to the load and is an import rigging tool. Slings can be made of steel wire rope, chains or synthetic man made fibers like polyester, nylon, K-spec or Kevlar. A synthetic sling is a sling made up of synthetic yarn like nylon, polyester or K-spec.

The Shackle Pin Pad is the latest Slingmax Solution to the problem of sharp edges on the pin-side of a shackle. If you must rig a synthetic sling on the pin, protect it with a Shackle Pin Pad. This pad is easy to connect and easy to remove. (Patent Pending)
