Wire Rope Slings are made from quality wire ropes and end fittings, These slings are available against orders only with very short delivery period. Ropes are largely being converted into slings as
slings find variety of applications in engineering industries, construction and material handling. In addition to standard slings, tailor made slings are made to cater specific applications. Slings
are usually made out of high tensile ropes to make them light and incorporate high carrying capacity. Standards are available for the users to refer for fabrication, installation, usage and
maintenance of slings. Wire rope consist of three basic components, while few in number, these vary in both complexity and configuration so as to produce ropes for specific purposes or
characteristics, The three basic components of a standard wire rope design are: 1) Wires that form the strand, 2) multi-wire strand: laid helically around a core, and 3) the core slings are
constructed to meet nearly every need. Of course, there are many special situations, which require the use of a specialty sling. These are also available when ordering a specialty sling be sure to
consider:Maximum load Type of material to be handled Condition of material Lifting attachments Dimensions of load Height of lift Headroom and working space available Distribution of load weight
Load center of gravity Number of sling legs required Ordering wire rope slings When ordering slings specify the sling Diameter and length are required ; the dimensions and fittings indicated will
be supplied. When variations are necessary full dimensions must be specified. For example alloy oblong links are standard or most bridle slings, and these will be supplied unless otherwise
specified. If oblong or pear-shaped carbon Inks are desired, full link dimensions should be included. Rated capacitiesRated capacities suggested for Lifting slings are based on sound engineering
practices and ample design factors. And are in accordance with Occupation Safety and Health Administration standards. Rated capacities are only applicable for new slings under normal conditions. As
a standard practice to avoid confusion. Wire rope constructionWire ropes, which are regularly used in Lifting slings, are either 6 x 19 Class 0r 6 x 37 Class. Generally. Ropes with diameters tip to
1 1/8 in. inclusive are 6 x l9 Class and ropes with larger diameters are 6 x 37 Class. The choice between the two classes may also depend upon the application of the sling, and the characteristics
that are most desirable in the sling. For example, if resistance to abrasion is of prime importance, the 6 x 19 Class is chosen because wires of large diameter provide a high degree of wear
resistance. On the other hand, if flexibility is desired, the 6 x 37 Class is more satisfactory because of the large number of smaller wires in the rope Other constructions may be available. but
they are rarely used and will not be supplied unless specified. Effect of lifting angle on Lifting CapacityThe rate capacity of a multiple leg sling is directly affected by the angle of the sling
leg with the vertical. As this angle increases, the stress on each leg increases with the same load. If the sling angle is known, the capacity can be readily determined by multiplying the sling's
vertical capacity by the appropriate load angle factor from the table below. Single Angle Load AngleFactor 0
