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.

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.
