Wire Rope Slings
Endless Wire Rope Sling Braid Type Grommet Slings
An endless wire rope sling formed from a continuous length of high-strength steel wire rope with no end fittings, wrapped six times around a ring core to match the specified lay distance. It is used in vertical, choker, and basket hitches for heavy lifting in construction, shipping, manufacturing, and rigging. Available in diameters from 10mm to 196mm with safe working loads from 10kN to 3400kN and minimum breaking loads from 60kN to 20400kN.

Key Benefits
What Endless Wire Rope Sling Gives You
- No end fittings mean no weak points from splicing or welding, reducing failure risk at the termination
- Continuous loop construction allows even load distribution across the entire sling, reducing localized wear
- High resistance to abrasion, heat, and corrosion from the steel wire rope material, suitable for harsh industrial environments
- Flexible configuration in vertical, choker, and basket hitches without re-terminating the sling
- Higher strength-to-weight ratio compared to traditional slings with forged end fittings
- No joint or splice to fail under repeated loading or dynamic stress
- Simpler inspection and maintenance due to absence of end fittings and termination points
Application Scenarios
Where Endless Wire Rope Sling Is Used
- Lifting heavy steel beams and structural components on construction sites where sling integrity and load balance are critical
- Cargo handling on container ships and offshore platforms where slings must withstand saltwater exposure and repeated loading
- Moving large industrial machinery and raw material rolls in factory environments with high vibration and abrasive surfaces
- Rigging operations in mining and energy projects requiring durable, joint-free lifting solutions for irregular or heavy loads
- Marine and offshore applications where the sling must be used in wet, corrosive conditions with minimal maintenance
Who It Is For
Buyers This Product Is Built For
- Construction contractors specifying lifting gear for structural steel and beam installations
- Marine and port operators handling containers and heavy equipment on deck and in cargo holds
- Manufacturers moving large machinery and raw material rolls in production lines
- Rigging specialists requiring joint-free slings for complex or high-risk lifting configurations
- Industrial maintenance teams needing durable, low-maintenance lifting solutions for repetitive tasks
Problems It Solves
Problems This Product Removes
- Failure at the end fitting due to splicing, welding, or mechanical termination in traditional slings
- Uneven load distribution caused by end fittings or splices leading to premature wear and fatigue
- Increased inspection burden from multiple termination points and splice joints
- Reduced service life in abrasive or corrosive environments where end fittings degrade faster
- Need to carry multiple sling types (vertical, choker, basket) due to lack of versatility in standard slings
- Inability to use a single sling across multiple hitch types without re-terminating or replacing fittings

How It Compares With The Alternatives
An honest read on where this pattern wins and where another one would serve you better.
| Alternative | Honest Trade Off |
|---|---|
| Traditional wire rope sling with forged end fittings | The endless version eliminates weak points at the termination, reduces inspection complexity, and improves load distribution but cannot be easily re-terminated or modified in the field |
| Sling with spliced end fittings | No splice means no risk of splice failure under dynamic load, but the endless design cannot be adapted to different hitch types without reconfiguration |
| Round sling with webbing or synthetic material | Steel wire rope offers higher resistance to abrasion, heat, and UV degradation, but is heavier and less flexible than synthetic alternatives |
| Chain sling | Wire rope has better flexibility and conformability to irregular loads, but chain offers higher resistance to cutting and impact |
Use Guide
How To Use And Inspect Endless Wire Rope Sling
- Verify the stamped safe working load matches the calculated load before use
- Inspect the sling for kinks, flattening, or surface damage before each lift
- Avoid side loading or twisting the sling during operation
- Ensure the loop is fully seated on the load and not pinched or deformed
- Do not use if the safe working load marking is illegible or the sling shows signs of deformation
- Retire the sling if the wire rope shows broken wires, corrosion, or excessive wear

Answers
Endless Wire Rope Sling FAQ
Can I use this sling in a choker hitch?
Yes. The endless loop design allows use in vertical, choker, and basket hitches without re-terminating the sling
Is there a risk of the loop opening under load?
No. The continuous braid and six-wrap construction around the ring core prevent opening under normal operating loads
What is the design factor for these slings?
A standard 4:1 design factor is applied, meaning the minimum breaking load is four times the stated safe working load
Can you supply a Material Test Certificate?
Yes. A Material Test Certificate to EN 10204 3.1 is supplied with every order on request
Can you make a custom length or diameter?
Yes. Production can be customized to meet required tonnage, length, and diameter based on a drawing or specification
How are they packed for export?
Standard carton and pallet packing. Custom carton and pallet configurations are available to suit your warehouse or retail pack
What standards do these slings follow?
They comply with EN 1492-1 and EN 1492-2, ASME B30.26, DIN 1480, and DIN 1478
