NEW Steel 3/8" 5' (Pkg of 6)

Package of 6.

The NEW Steel 3/8" 5' (Pkg of 6) wire rope sling set is designed to connect a load to a lifting device, helping you lift, turn, or move materials during rigging and handling tasks. Sling Rated Capacity is the maximum load (in tons) the sling 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 the same sling may have different capacities depending on how it is rigged and the lift geometry.

Common Sling Configurations

There are four basic sling configurations, which meet most moving, lifting and turning requirements: (1) VERTICAL (Straight Pull); (2) BASKET HITCH: (3) CHOKER HITCH; and, (4) MULTIPLE LEG SLING (Bridle).

Capacity by Hitch Type

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

Angle Guidance

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