About Sling Configurations and Capacity
More
Wire Rope Slings
These slings are more abrasion and cut resistant than web and round slings, yet lighter in weight than mesh and chain slings. They include a tag that shows capacities in each configuration.
Crimped eye slings are secured with a metal sleeve.
Woven eye slings have ends that are woven back into the sling, reducing the chance of the sling catching when lifting a load.
6 × 19 construction is more flexible than 7 × 7.
Stainless steel slings are corrosion resistant.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Wire Rope Slings with Hooks
For use with loads that have lift attachments, these slings attach quickly and securely. They are more abrasion and cut resistant than web and round slings, yet lighter in weight than mesh and chain slings. They include a tag that shows capacities in each configuration.
Note: Do not use multi-leg slings at an angle less than 30°.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Adjustable Rope Slings
Similar to a finger trap, the loop adjusts freely when loose and holds tight when tension is applied. Made of abrasion- and chemical-resistant Dyneema, these slings are a lightweight alternative to wire rope slings.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
