Galvanized Hand Spliced Wire Rope Sling

Galvanized Hand Spliced Wire Rope Sling

Gostern Galvanized Hand Spliced Wire Rope Sling is manufactured using traditional hand tucking (hand splicing) techniques, creating strong, reliable eyes without the need for mechanical swaging equipment . Each sling is crafted by experienced splicers who interweave the wire rope strands back into the body using the Flemish eye (long splice) or conventional eye splice method, creating a secure, permanent eye that maintains the rope's natural flexibility . The hot dip galvanized finish provides superior corrosion resistance, making these slings ideal for marine, outdoor, and harsh environment applications .

This Hand Spliced Galvanized Sling features a smooth, tapered transition from the eye to the rope body, reducing stress concentration and providing excellent fatigue resistance . The hand splicing process preserves the original flexibility of the wire rope, allowing the sling to bend easily around loads and sheaves . The galvanized coating offers superior protection against rust and corrosion compared to painted or uncoated slings . It is widely used as Hand Spliced Wire Rope Sling in shipyards and marine construction, as Galvanized Cable Sling for outdoor lifting and rigging, as Wire Rope Sling with Flemish Eye for general industrial lifting, and as Marine Grade Galvanized Sling for dockside and offshore applications . Available in wire rope diameters from 6mm to 32mm , with standard lengths from 1m to 20m (custom lengths available) , and working load limits (WLL) ranging from 560 kg to 9,500 kg depending on rope diameter and configuration .

Hand Splicing Advantages vs. Swaged Termination:

• Preserves rope flexibility: No rigid ferrule, bends easily

• Field repairable: Can be re-spliced if damaged

• Smooth transition: Tapered profile reduces stress points

• No aluminum ferrules: No dissimilar metal corrosion concerns

• Traditional craftsmanship: Proven reliability for decades

Splice Types Available:

• Flemish Eye (Long Splice) : Smooth, tapered eye – most common

• Conventional Eye (Short Splice) : Compact eye – for tight spaces

• Endless Grommet: Continuous loop – no end fittings

• Multi-leg configuration: Single master link with multiple spliced legs

Available Configurations:

• Single Leg with Thimble Eyes: For wear-resistant connection

• Single Leg with Soft Eyes: For delicate surface protection

• Single Leg with Hooks: For quick attachment

• Two Leg (Bridle) : For balanced lifting of long loads

• Three Leg & Four Leg: For large rectangular loads

• Endless (Grommet) : For choker and basket hitches

Common Applications:

• Shipbuilding and shipyard lifting

• Marine construction and dockside operations

• Outdoor crane and rigging work

• Offshore platform maintenance

• General industrial lifting (non-marine)

• Construction sites (outdoor exposure)

• Mining and quarry operations

• Agricultural lifting and towing

Important Usage Guidelines:

• Inspect spliced eyes for loose strands, wear, or damage before each use

• Check galvanized coating for corrosion, flaking, or damage

• Do not use if splice shows signs of pulling out or loosening

• Do not exceed rated working load limits

• Protect wire rope from sharp edges using edge protectors

• Regular inspection per ASME B30.9 standards

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

• For critical applications, consider proof testing upon request
