Mechanically spliced wire rope slings, built to your length with thimbled or soft eyes.
Wire rope sits between chain and synthetic: more abrasion resistant and heat tolerant than polyester, lighter and more flexible than chain, and considerably cheaper than either at higher capacities. It is the default for scrap handling, steel yards and anywhere a sling drags.
Supplied at a 5 to 1 design factor, proof-tested, and tagged with rated capacities for vertical, choker and basket hitches.
What we need to build one: rope diameter, construction, finished length measured eye to eye, eye type (thimbled, soft, or hardware fitted), and whether it will be choked. Send those and we will build and certify it.
Common constructions are 6x19 and 6x25 IWRC for general lifting, and 6x36 IWRC where flexibility matters. If you are unsure, describe the application and we will specify against it.
