DESCRIPTION

on either end. These slings are used in a vertical,
choker, or basket hitch.
This type of sling has a triangle fitting on each
end. These slings are used in vertical and basket
hitches.
*
Flat eye type slings are very popular and can be
used in vertical, choker, and basket hitches. Unless
type 4 slings are requested, this type of sling
is standard.
*
Twisted
eye slings are similar to Type 3 slings except the
eyes are twisted 90 degrees to form a better choker
hitch. This type of sling also nests better in the
crane hook.
Endless
slings are the most versatile of all the nylon sling
configurations. They can be used in all three types
of hitches and the wear points can be adjusted around
the circumference of the sling to increase sling
life. When used in a choker or basket hitch the
legs can be spread for improved load control and
balance.
Reversed
eye slings are an endless sling with the edges butted
together to double the sling width. The eyes are
reinforced and wear pads are sewn onto both sides
of the body and eyes. The completed sling is very
strong and wear resistant.
*EYE
TAPERING:
As a standard practice the eyes
or bearing points of type 3 and 4 slings are tapered,
to accommodate a crane hook on, 3" and wider. Non-tapered
eyes are available upon request.
Type 5 endless slings are NOT tapered unless specified
on order.
