3/8″ X 6′ Wire Rope Sling w/Thimbled Eyes

3/8″ IWRC EIPS Wire Rope Sling X 6 Feet w/Thimbled Eyes

The single leg wire rope sling with a thimbled eye at each end is similar to a traditional eye & eye sling but fitted with protective thimbles.  A thimble protects the eye from pressure, wear, and tear, to extend the working life of the sling. Thimbled eyes are durable and great for suspending from a shackle or hook. It can be used in all common hitches, including vertical, choker and basket. Please note that thimbled eyes will not pass through one another. You need to use a shackle or similar device to create a choker hitch.  These are the best option for rigging and lifting applications that require heavy-duty slings that are abrasion-resistant but still flexible.  Wire rope slings are popular where a variety of heavy loads and rugged conditions exist like construction, automotive, oil & gas, steel mills, forging facilities and general manufacturing industries.

Working Load Limit and Safety

The Design Factor for wire rope slings is a 5:1 ratio, meaning the breaking strength of the sling is five times higher than the rated Working Load Limit (W.L.L). Per the Wire Rope Users Manual, a design factor is necessary to allow for conditions such as wear, abrasion, damage, and variations in loads which are not readily apparent. Although wire rope slings have a design factor, the user should never exceed the rated Working Load Limit.

All of our single leg eye and eye slings include an attached metal tag displaying capacity, care, and instruction.
