Mechanical Splice Cable Laid Sling / Cable Laid Grommet
Cable Laid Slings are constructed from 7 individual galvanized ropes “cabled” together. This makes a very flexible sling for special applications.
Standard: IMCA M179
The construction of the unit rope should be six or eight strands as specified in either ISO 2408 or EN
12385-4, right- or left hand lay. For core unit ropes also seven strands can be used. All unit ropes
should have a steel core. Compacted or deformed unit ropes are not allowed to be used.
The breaking load of unit ropes up to 60mm diameter should be calculated in accordance with the
method given in ISO 2408 and for larger ropes EN 12385-4 will be applicable

1 Rated Capacities are based on a D/d ratio of >5:1 for the body and sling eye. | ||||||||||||
These smooth and very flexible slings are made from cut lengths of cable-laid fabric that is machine-formed by laying six wire ropes in a helical pattern around a core rope.
Flemish eye mechanical splices, secured by swaged metal sleeves, provide centerline pull at the eyes. They are more flexible, and the same capacity as single-part slings. Ideal for use as basket or choker hitches, where flexibility and ease of handling are essential, and cutting or abrasion is not a critical factor.
* Rated capacities basket hitch based on D/d ratio of 10 or greater.
Rated capacities based on pin diameter no larger than the natural eye width or no less than the nominal sling diameter.
Rated capacities based on design factor of 5.
Horizontal sling angles less than 30 degrees shall not be used.
