NEW Steel 3/8" 10' (Pkg of 6)

NEW Steel 3/8" 10' (Pkg of 6) wire rope slings are designed to connect a load to a lifting device, so the load may be lifted, turned, or moved. The Rated Capacity of a sling is the maximum load in tons that it is designed to lift when used as prescribed under favorable working conditions.

Rated Capacity and What Affects It

Rated Capacity is based on nominal wire rope breaking strength, splicing or end attachment efficiency, design factor, number of parts of rope in the sling, type of hitch (vertical, choker, or basket), angle of loading, and diameter of curvature around which the sling is bent. In practice, this means hitch selection and sling angle can significantly change the allowable working load, even when using the same sling.

Sling Configurations and Typical Uses

There are four basic sling configurations, which meet most moving, lifting and turning requirements: (1) VERTICAL (Straight Pull), commonly used for straight lifts where the load is directly below the hook; (2) BASKET HITCH, used to cradle the load for increased stability; (3) CHOKER HITCH, used when you need the sling to tighten around the load for control; and (4) MULTIPLE LEG SLING (Bridle), used for balancing and lifting loads from multiple points.

Working Load Limits (WLL)

• Vertical: 1.4 tons
• Choke: 1.1 tons
• Basket: 2.9 tons

Normally a sling should not be used when the vertical angle exceeds 45 degrees.
