About Sling Configurations and Capacity

Extra-Grip-Tight Rope—Not for Lifting
Softer than all other grip-tight rope, this manila rope is more comfortable to grip. Its twisted construction gives it a grooved surface, so you can grip it tight without it slipping.
Note: The safety factor for capacity is 12:1.
Rope with Eye on Both Ends—Not for Lifting
Rope has an eye on both ends to save time when attaching to tie downs and hooks. It knots easily and won’t rotate under load. Nylon rope compensates for sudden force, such as those often found in towing applications and dock lines. It resists rot and mildew.
Rope with a braided core resists wear during use because it has a braided cover.
Note: The safety factor for capacity is 12:1.

Crosby Forged Single-Saddle Wire Rope Clamps—Not for Lifting
These must be oriented with the saddle on the long (live) end and U-bolt on the short (dead) end. Their forged fabrication makes these clamps more reliable in critical applications such as tie downs and support lines. They’re also known as wire rope clips. Clamps have a thick coating for corrosion resistance.
Warning: Test all assemblies for required strength before use. Do not use with coated rope unless the coating is removed.

Crosby Forged Double-Saddle Wire Rope Clamps—Not for Lifting
These clamps apply equal pressure without crimping or crushing the wire rope, so orientation doesn't matter. They provide a saddle for both the long (live) and the short (dead) end of the wire rope. Their forged fabrication makes these clamps more reliable in critical applications such as tie downs and support lines. Also known as fist grip wire rope clips.
Warning: Test all assemblies for required strength before use. Do not use with coated rope unless the coating is removed.

Cast Wire Rope Clamps—Not for Lifting
Use in noncritical applications, such as fencing, where the strength of a forged clamp is not required. Install clamps so the saddle is on the long (live) end and the U-bolt is on the short (dead) end. They’re also known as wire rope clips.
Zinc-plated iron clamps are mildly corrosion resistant.
Galvanized iron clamps have a thicker coating than zinc-plated clamps for added corrosion resistance.
18-8 stainless steel clamps are more corrosion resistant than galvanized clamps.
316 stainless steel clamps are the most corrosion resistant fittings we offer. They provide excellent resistance to chemicals and salt water.
Warning: Test all assemblies for required strength before use. Do not use with coated rope unless the coating is removed.

Heavy Duty Wire Rope Thimbles—For Lifting
Also known as heavy-pattern thimbles, these can be used to reinforce the loop of a sling.
Galvanized steel thimbles have a thick coating for corrosion resistance.
18-8 stainless steel thimbles are more corrosion resistant than steel thimbles.
316 stainless steel thimbles are the most corrosion resistant thimbles we offer. They provide excellent resistance to salt water and chemicals.
Warning: Test all assemblies for required strength before use. Do not use with coated rope unless the coating is removed.
Medium Duty Wire Rope Thimbles—Not for Lifting
Also known as standard-pattern thimbles, these provide better protection against fraying than light-duty thimbles.
Zinc-plated and galvanized steel thimbles are corrosion resistant.
18-8 stainless steel thimbles are more corrosion resistant to chemicals than steel thimbles.
316 stainless steel thimbles are the most corrosion resistant thimbles we offer. They provide excellent resistance to salt water and chemicals.
Warning: Do not use with coated rope unless the coating is removed.
Wire Rope Slings
Reinforced
Thimble Eye
These slings are more abrasion and cut resistant than web and round slings, yet lighter in weight than mesh and chain slings. They include a tag that shows capacities in each configuration.
Crimped eye slings are secured with a metal sleeve.
Crimped and reinforced thimble eye slings have a thimble on the inside of the loops to prevent fraying. Loops are secured with a metal sleeve.
6 × 19 construction is more flexible than 7 × 7.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
