Different kinds of Wire Rope Slings made in china

Wire rope slings are a basic material handling tool used to harness various kinds of goods and are the most common type of sling used in industry for lifting applications. Wire rope consists of strands of metal wire twisted in a helix around a core.

They are extremely strong and an excellent choice for heavy duty jobs involving not only lifting, but also hoisting, towing, or anchoring loads. The fabrication of wire slings also offers excellent abrasion-resistance and heat resistance so it can be used in extreme conditions and temperatures.

They are manufactured in a variety of configurations, with 6x19 and 6x36, being two of the most common. The numbers represent the number of wires making up the strand and the number of strands wrapped around the core. For example, a 6x19 indicates that there are 19 wires making up a strand, and 6 strands are wrapped around the core.

They are constructed of strong high quality steel that is resistant to corrosion, heat, sunlight, and most chemicals. Thimbles greatly improve sling longevity by protecting the wire rope at connection points. 

For wire rope slings, damage and reduced strength can occur if the wrong size pin or hook is used. The width of the pin or hook should never exceed one half the inside length of the eye. If your pin or hook is large, request an oversized eye for the sling.

They are strong, durable, and versatile, with a wide range of different uses across many industries and fields. Our wire slings have soft eyes at either end, making them easy to handle and use without affecting their strength. 

They can be custom made into single, double, triple, or quadruple legs and can have many different end fittings, Slings can be manufactured to closer length tolerance than those normally quoted for hand splicing. The Stretch of the eye and termination is reduced because there are no splicing tucks which will pull down under load.

It is only as good as its end termination. To produce a safe and reliable wire rope sling involves more than just “having a press”, a length of wire rope and fittings.

Our Wire Rope Slings are three-part slings created to replace large diameter single-part ones that proved awkward and stiff. They for everything from steel erection or machinery moving to any type of heavy lift. 

Used in steel warehouses, metalworking shops and construction sites, a wire rope or mesh sling grips tightly around loads without stretching and has vertical load limits up to 9.8 tons. Fit for any rugged environment, these low cost slings handle temperatures ranging from –60 to 400°F and abrasive loads that tend to cut web slings.

Wire rope is often used in slings because of its strength, durability, abrasion resistance and ability to conform to the shape of the loads on which it is used. In addition, they are able to lift hot materials. Wire rope used in slings can be made of ropes with either Independent Wire Rope Core (IWRC) or a fiber-core.

Least expensive per capacity of all steel slings. Good abrasion resistance increases useful life of sling. IWRC can be used at temperatures up to 400° F. Countless combinations of sling terminations to fit specific lift requirements. Available in wire core for strength and fiber core for flexibility.

Sometimes referred to wire cable slings, which are more robust and durable than nylon slings and have higher temperature limits. There are many different types of wire cable slings and they all have their own purposes. For instance, the normal sling strength is based on the strength of the wire rope used in the sling.

Rated load is based on pin diameter no larger than one half the natural eye length or not less than the nominal sling diameter. Basket hitch capacity based on minimum D/d ratio of 25/1. For choker hitch, the angle of choke shall be 120 degrees or greater.

Our wire slings are available in various end-terminations and hardware configurations to best suit your needs. Whether you are looking for a standard 105B, a hand-tucked sling for the steel erection/iron worker industry, our wire rope fabrication facilities can fabricate the right solution for your lift, Our products are custom built to meet your specific needs for any application. As most wire rope slings are custom applications, please contact RAMHOIST to custom fabricate your sling for your application.
