1/2" x 8' Standard Eye & Thimble Wire Rope Sling
1/2" x 8' Standard Eye & Thimble Wire Rope Sling!
1/2" x 8' Standard Eye & Thimble Wire Rope Sling
Specifications
Thimble dimensions: 1-1/2"W x 2-3/4"L
Rated capacities for basket hitch based on a D/d ratio of 25
At 1/2-inch diameter and 2.5 tons, this sling keeps things simple: a Flemish eye at each end, each one protected by a thimble. The Eye & Thimble Wire Rope Sling design is a longtime favorite for single-leg rigging where a fixed connection point, not a hook, is what the job calls for.
Key Features
- A thimble eye wire rope sling built for long-term, dependable eye protection
- Mechanically spliced Flemish eye with thimble at both ends
- Thimble guards against wear, deformation, and uneven loading
- Bright steel wire rope, EIPS grade, over an independent core (commonly 6x19)
- Rated across -40°F / -40°C to 400°F / 204°C
- Meets ASME B30.9 and OSHA 1910.184 requirements, with a capacity/care tag attached
Applications
- Single-leg lifts needing a fixed eye at both ends
- Jobsites that favor a quicker setup than a multi-leg sling
- A range of angled lifts and hitch styles
- We can help add shackles or protection sleeves, or talk through our bridle sling lineup
