9-Part Braided Slings

Category: Braided Slings
Type: Wire Rope Slings

Product Information

Multi-part braided slings are fabricated by taking a single long length of rope and braiding it back & forth along the entire design length, including the eyes, to form a single high-capacity sling.

These braids achieve capacities & flexibility far greater than single-part slings of the same diameter wire rope, and in the case of 9-part slings, the capacity increase is significant.
