Eye & Eye Wire Rope Slings
Eye & Eye Slings are available in various sizes and materials to meet the application's specific needs. Eye & Eye Slings are made from high-quality materials and are designed to withstand the rigors of everyday use.
When selecting an Eye & Eye Sling, it is crucial to consider the following factors:
- The weight of the load to be lifted.
- The type of material to be lifted
- The environment in which the sling will be used
- The required lifting capacity
- Eye & Eye Slings should be inspected regularly for signs of wear and tear. Slings that are damaged should be removed from service immediately.

Rated capacities of basket hitches are based on 40 times wire rope diameter (1/4″ through 1″ diameter slings) and 25 times wire rope diameter (1-1/8″ and larger diameter slings). Basket ratings are calculated for vertical lifting.
Basket ratings are calculated for vertical lifting. Appropriate reductions must be made when angular lifting is involved.
All slings are proof-tested to 2 times working load limit. Design factor is 5:1.
