5/8" x 4' Lifting Wire Rope Sling | Thimble Eye & Thimble Eye
This 3.9 ton thimble eye and thimble eye wire rope sling provides a durable single-leg lifting option with reinforced eye protection at both ends. Built from 5/8" EIPS-grade IWRC bright steel wire rope, it combines strength, abrasion resistance, and durability for lifting, rigging, and material handling applications.
Always refer to the product identification tag, manufacturer instructions, and applicable safety requirements before selecting or using lifting equipment. Due to the thimble sizes, this sling cannot be used in a choker hitch.
3.9 Ton Thimble Eye Wire Rope Sling for Single-Leg Rigging
Designed for industrial lifting and material handling, this wire rope sling features mechanically spliced Flemish eyes reinforced with thimbles at both ends. The thimbles help reduce wear and eye deformation while supporting more consistent load distribution at the connection points. Its 5/8" wire rope is generally supplied in a 6x19 class construction for a practical balance of strength and abrasion resistance.
Key Features
- 3.9 Ton Rated Sling: Designed for lifting applications within the sling's marked working load limit and specified configuration.
- 5/8" EIPS IWRC Wire Rope: Extra Improved Plow Steel wire rope with an independent wire rope core provides strength, crush resistance, abrasion resistance, and elevated-temperature capability.
- Thimble Eyes at Both Ends: Reinforced Flemish eye connections help reduce wear and deformation at the sling eyes.
- Wide Operating Temperature Range: Rated for temperatures from -40°F / -40°C to 400°F / 204°C when used within manufacturer specifications.
Common Applications
- Industrial material handling
- Construction and jobsite lifting
- Machinery and equipment movement
- Fabrication and manufacturing operations

Before You Choose a Sling
- Review Rated Capacity: Check the sling identification tag and product specifications to confirm ratings for your intended application.
- Confirm Hitch and Rope Compatibility: This sling cannot be used in a choker hitch due to the thimble sizes. Also note that 6x36 class wire rope may occasionally be supplied based on inventory, so contact Fasteners Plus if a 6x19 construction is required.
- Follow Applicable Requirements: Always use, inspect, and maintain lifting equipment according to manufacturer instructions and applicable OSHA, ASME, and workplace requirements.

Quality item that will go in my truck's emergency kit. My only issue was that I thought the overall length was from end-to-end including the loops, when it is actually the length between the loops, so it's just a bit longer than I planned for.
