Wire Rope Slings
The Wire Rope Slings category covers lifting slings whose load-bearing body is a steel wire rope with shaped eye ends and end fittings per the design, used in lifting operations requiring wire rope characteristics. Models vary in rope construction, diameter, end configuration, length and documented rated capacity. A single rope construction should not be assumed across the category, and this category differs from wire rope hoists. Specifications vary across models.

About this category
Wire rope slings are lifting slings that use a steel wire rope as the load-bearing body, with shaped end eyes or specific end fittings installed per the product's design. Models differ in wire rope construction (number of strands, number of wires per strand and lay pattern) and in effective rope diameter; a single construction should not be assumed across the category and is defined for each product in the manufacturer's documentation. Models differ in rope core type between fiber core and steel core depending on design. End configurations vary between mechanically spliced eyes with pressed ferrules, hand-spliced eyes and eyes with a protective thimble depending on the model; wire rope clips are not relied on to form eyes in lifting slings unless the applicable standard permits it. Documented rated capacity varies by model, and capacity cannot be inferred from rope diameter alone; it depends on the complete rope specification, end configuration, hitch configuration and the manufacturer's documentation. This category differs from wire rope hoists: a wire rope sling is a lifting medium attached to the load, while a wire rope hoist is a complete lifting device that uses the rope as an internal medium. Chain slings, webbing slings, round slings and cargo restraint straps are excluded from this category. Industrial buyers select wire rope sling models based on documented rated capacity, rope construction, end configuration, length and the operating environment.
