Domestic 3/4" x 4' Bridle Wire Rope Sling - 3 Leg

Wire rope slings are a common choice in the lifting industry - they are more cost-efficient than chain slings and more strong, durable, and temperature-resistant than many synthetic lifting slings. Along with these built-in advantages, choosing a 3-leg bridle sling results in additional versatility - when compared to a double-leg wire rope sling, you'll find improved lifting capacities and load distribution. The third leg reduces susceptibility to tilting, and it can balance awkwardly-shaped loads more effectively.

This lifting wire rope sling is manufactured using quality Crosby hardware and a domestically-made wire rope.

Latched Eye Hook Benefits

The Crosby® eye hoist hooks are compatible with a wide variety of attachment points, with a latch to prevent accidental disconnections. For improved safety and ease of use, they are marked with working load limit, deformation indicators (so you can quickly measure to see if your hook is out of specifications and needs additional inspection) and angle indicators, which specify the maximum angle allowed between two sling legs in the hook.

They are made from alloy steel for added corrosion-resistance. Alloy steel also offers a higher strength at a lighter weight, meaning these wire rope bridle slings are easier to handle.

The wire rope sling eyes themselves are made using the mechanical splice Flemish eye configuration and a thimble. Constructed by splitting the wire rope into two parts, looping / weaving them together to create an eye, and securing them with a fitted swaged sleeve, it offers a higher lifting capacity than hand-tucked eyes. The thimble helps to reduce wear and tear, prevent eye deformation, and ensure uniform load distribution.

Made in the USA 3/4" Dia. Wire Sling Construction

Our wire rope slings are made using EIPS-grade IWRC bright steel rope wire. The EIPS (Extra Improved Plow Steel) refers to the strength of the wire rope - its tensile strength is around 10% greater than an IPS grade, improving the lifting capacity. The bright steel classification means it's uncoated except for a lubricant for basic corrosion-resistance.

IWRC stands for Independent Wire Rope Core. Constructed from durable steel, it's more resistant to crushing / pressure and allows for sling use in higher temperature environments than fiber cores. Fiber cores generally only go up to 180°F / 82°C, while IWRC core slings can handle temperatures up to 400°F / 204°C.

Wire Rope Classification

Wire rope classification is a nominal indicator of the rope's construction - the number of outer strands around the core and an estimation of the number of wires within each of these outer strands. This wire rope sling's class is 6x19. That means it will have 6 outer strands, with the number of wires making up each strand ranging from 15-26.

The important takeaway from this classification is that it has fewer wires per strand than a 6x36 wire rope sling - resulting in a finished product that is more abrasion-resistant but not as flexible.

Generally, wire rope slings with a diameter larger than 1" will have a 6x36 classification, while those 1" or smaller will have a 6x19 classification.
