Galvanized Endless Wire Rope Sling

Galvanized Endless Wire Rope Sling

Gostern Galvanized Endless Wire Rope Sling is manufactured as a continuous loop (grommet) without any end fittings or splices, providing a smooth, snag-free surface for versatile lifting applications . The endless construction is created by winding a single length of wire rope into multiple parallel loops , then securing the ends with a mechanical splice or hand tuck , resulting in a strong, flexible, and uniform sling with no protruding wires or rigid fittings . The hot dip galvanized finish provides superior corrosion resistance, making these slings ideal for marine, outdoor, and harsh environment applications .

This Endless Galvanized Cable Sling offers infinite adjustability – the sling can be used in vertical, choker, or basket hitches without the need for hooks or shackles . The endless design provides even load distribution across all parts of the sling when used in basket hitches, and the flexible construction allows the sling to conform tightly around irregularly shaped loads in choker hitches . Unlike end-fitted slings, the endless grommet has no weak points at end fittings , providing consistent strength throughout the entire loop . It is widely used as Wire Rope Grommet in marine and shipyard lifting, as Continuous Loop Wire Rope Sling for pipe and cylinder lifting, as Endless Sling for Choker Hitch in logging and construction, and as Galvanized Endless Sling for general industrial rigging . Available in wire rope diameters from 6mm to 32mm , with standard circumferences from 1m to 20m (custom sizes available) , and working load limits (WLL) ranging from 560 kg to 9,500 kg depending on rope diameter and hitch configuration .

Endless Sling Hitch Capacities:

• Vertical Hitch: 100% of rated capacity (single part)

• Choker Hitch: 75% of vertical rating

• Basket Hitch (180°) : 200% of vertical rating

• Basket Hitch (90°) : 150% of vertical rating

Endless Sling Advantages:

• No end fittings: No rigid hooks or thimbles to damage loads

• Infinite adjustability: Can be used in any hitch configuration

• Uniform strength: Consistent capacity throughout the loop

• Smooth surface: Snag-free, won't catch on obstacles

• Flexible: Conforms tightly around loads

• Corrosion resistant: Hot dip galvanized for outdoor use

Available Configurations:

• Standard Grommet: Single layer continuous loop

• Multi-part Grommet: Multiple parallel wraps for higher capacity

• Coated Grommet: PVC or nylon coated for surface protection

• Custom Circumference: Tailored to specific lifting requirements

Common Applications:

• Choker Hitch: Pipe, log, cylinder, and coil lifting

• Basket Hitch: Large equipment, structural steel, containers

• Vertical Hitch: Single point lifting with looped connection

• Marine: Dockside lifting, shipboard cargo, mooring

• Construction: Rebar bundles, concrete piles, pipe laying

• Logging: Log and timber handling

• Steel mills: Coil and bar handling

Important Usage Guidelines:

• Inspect entire sling for wear, broken wires, or damage before each use

• Check galvanized coating for corrosion, flaking, or damage

• For choker hitch, ensure sling is fully tightened around load before lifting

• Do not exceed the rated capacity for the specific hitch configuration

• Protect wire rope from sharp edges using edge protectors

• Avoid twisting the sling during use

• Regular inspection per ASME B30.9 standards

• Replace sling if wire rope shows broken wires, kinking, or corrosion

• Do not use if splice shows signs of loosening or damage
