How much does a wire rope sling cost? How much does a shackle or a web sling cost? These are legitimate questions that we hear every day from prospective customers looking to purchase rigging products for their next lifting project.
Similar to other consumer goods like cars, electronics, and appliances, there are several factors that can raise or lower the price of rigging equipment. Our intention in this article isn’t to beat around the bush, but instead we want to provide you with some practical guidelines, as well as influential factors that can affect the cost of lifting and rigging products, including:Where do you buy your rigging gear?
Like most products and services, rigging gear can be purchased from a traditional brick and mortar location, or can be purchased online through a specialty supplier or catalog and supply house with an e-commerce site. If you’ve done some research and looked at different online suppliers, you’ll notice that there can be a huge disparity in pricing between the same types of rigging products for sale online and in a physical rigging shop.
For instance, a common Eye and Eye 2” Wide, Two-Ply Web Sling (EE2-802 X 10’) had the following prices listed on three different e-commerce websites: $24.00, $32.00, and $42.00. That same web sling was being sold for $26.00 at a brick and mortar rigging shop.
Rigging shops have long been the stalwarts of the lifting and rigging industries. Rigging shops typically have a showroom or storefront with a wide selection of sling hooks, shackles, chain, synthetic slings and wire rope. They also traditionally buy the raw materials for wire rope, webbing, steel and chain and have a shop where they can make the lifting and rigging products themselves.
The variety of rigging equipment and expertise that the rigging shops offer is unparalleled as you can speak directly with a knowledgeable salesperson to get a product recommendation. They also offer added convenience—if they have the part(s) that you’re looking for in stock, you can stop in that same day and walk out the door with what you need. This also eliminates the added expense of paying for freight to ship rigging equipment that can be large and heavy.
But do they have the best prices? Sometimes they do, but most of the time they fall somewhere in the middle of the price spectrum. The same web slings we mentioned earlier had prices ranging from $24.00 to $42.00 from three e-commerce retailers. A rigging shop might fall somewhere in the middle around $26.00 for that same web sling.
Many rigging shops pride themselves on carrying product in bulk and in a full range of sizes and configurations. While this is convenient for the customer, it also increases the shop’s inventory carrying costs, which get passed on to the end-user as a premium item price increase.
If you’re looking for the added benefit and expertise of speaking with a knowledgeable salesperson, want to browse an extensive inventory, and may have an immediate need for a piece of rigging hardware, chain sling, roundsling, or wire rope, then a rigging shop might be your best bet.
A common 1/2” X 10’, 6 X 25 Wire Center, Wire Rope Sling comes in at $29.00, $43.00, and $67.00 from three different online retailers. So, why is there such a wide pricing range for what appears to be the same product?
When doing some rigging cost comparisons, you may notice that the lowest prices seem to come from the websites that only sell lifting and rigging equipment. However, these lifting and rigging websites tend to focus on the common “bread and butter” lifting and rigging equipment and may not have a large inventory of rigging products to select from. They may also make up for their low prices by bumping up the cost of their shipping and handling fees.
Online suppliers with the more expensive wire rope and web slings tend to be larger catalog and supply houses that offer an impressive array of all types of industrial products, including rigging gear. They also offer the convenience of selling items like gloves, eye protection, spray paint, etc.—an added convenience factor that allows you to buy everything that you need from one source.
Catalog supply houses may also offer prepaid freight, or have cheaper shipping rates since they move so much product in and out the door that they receive volume freight discounts that they can then pass on to the customer.
Size is always a factor when it comes to the cost of lifting and rigging products. For example, a 1-ton screw pin anchor shackle can be found for around $9.00 per piece, a 9.5-ton shackle sells for around $80.00 a piece, and a 25-ton shackle can run close to $300.00 per piece. Simply put, the more steel and more material required to produce the product, the more it’s going to cost you.
This is also true for lengths of wire rope and chain. Larger diameter wire rope, and larger and longer lengths of chain and wire rope, often fall out of the “standard” product range of suppliers other than rigging shops. If a shop has to special order a piece due to a non-standard size or length, that extra time and effort to acquire the piece will get passed on to the customers as a price markup.
The complexity of the rigging products you buy also has an effect on your cost. A simple 1-ton 4’ lifting beam can be mass-produced by a supplier and can be bought in a range anywhere from $600.00 to $800.00. A beam that has to be specially-engineered due to non-standard lifting points, bail heights, load engagement requirements, etc., can easily double the price of a standard beam. The engineering of specialty items requires additional labor, and smaller raw material batch purchases, which add up to additional costs to make a small production run or fabricate a custom one-off piece.
High-performance and specialty items also cost more. For instance, 3/4″ 6 X 37 with wire center rope would cost around $2.50 per foot. A high-performance cable like a 3/4” Dyform 18 would cost about $4.50 per foot. But in the right application, the Dyform 18 will last much longer to justify the higher initial cost, and may also save labor costs because the customer won’t have to perform cable changes as frequently.
If you’re at your factory or job site and have a lifting application but don’t know how to make a lift or what to use to make the lift…what should you do? What most people do is contact their local rigging shop to speak with a lifting specialist. Hopefully, the shop’s specialists can help walk you through the solution over the phone, or they may prefer to come on-site and assess the job and recommend the best lifting solutions for your project.
However, highly-trained lifting specialists are compensated for their time and knowledge applied to a lifting project and therefore will increase the cost of your rigging solution. Unfortunately, you’re not going to solve your problem by e-mailing a catalog house or e-commerce rigging website’s customer service team. Their businesses are built to move rigging hardware, wire rope slings, chain slings, and synthetic slings out the door in a quick and efficient manner.
They’re not necessarily set up to offer support, troubleshoot, or help solve lifting challenges. Utilizing a lifting specialist might cost you more upfront, but will save you time and money in the long run by increasing your lifting efficiencies and providing a solution that will get the job done safely.
The cost of imported vs. domestic rigging products is a bit more involved and complicated. You have to determine if you are comfortable with an import product based on the country of origin and also make sure that it meets the same quality standards and specifications as its domestic counterpart.
Generally, imported products are cheaper in price, and in many cases, the quality is comparable to products made domestically. For instance, an imported 1/2” x 10’ 6 X 25 swaged wire rope sling would cost about $20.00—the same sling made by a company who manufactures their rigging gear in the United States would charge around $30.00.
For companies that import their rigging products, their business is built on offering their customers standard run-of-the-mill rigging products in the most popular sizes and configurations. Their manufacturing locations are built to churn out product in large batches and operate with little to no overhead. By doing so, an import supplier can offer their products at a discounted price. Unfortunately, they can’t offer their customers much in terms of variety or customized solutions.
The amount, or the quantity of pieces that you’re buying, can also greatly influence how much you pay for lifting and rigging equipment. If you buy from the right source, you may save more per item, or per foot, the more that you buy.
If you do a little bit of research online, you’ll see that some of the companies that sell lifting and rigging equipment offer quantity discounts and some do not. You may see some promotions like “free shipping for orders over $50.00!” If you buy rigging equipment with some regularity, then you know that $50.00 is not a high bar to reach. You may recall from earlier in this article that one 9.5-ton shackle costs around $80 per piece, so you can hit that minimum pretty easily with the purchase of only one part.
E-commerce sites that offer deals like free shipping on lifting or rigging equipment seem to target the smaller end user—mostly contractors or small construction companies that make up a large portion of the rigging buyer’s market.
The shops that are going to offer the most significant discount to their customers will be the brick-and-mortar rigging shops. They can, and will, offer substantial discounts for a large-quantity order, or for their high-volume customers.
Let’s face it, medium to large users of rigging equipment are not going to order their rigging products online—they will overwhelmingly buy from rigging shops because they can utilize their staff’s expertise, and also take advantage of rush or same-day delivery—two things that online sellers of rigging equipment and industrial equipment just can’t compete with.
If you’ve ever worked in a retail or service-based environment, you already know the typical customer response to the question, “when do you need it by?” The answers are often, “yesterday!” or “as soon as you can get it to me….today.” No matter what the answer is, the theme in the lifting and rigging industry is usually, “I need it now.”
So, now the pressure is on the seller to deliver the product within their customer’s time frame, or else risk losing the business. One thing that many people don’t understand is that it costs a company more money to structure itself to handle rush orders, same or next-day deliveries, and emergency repair or replacement for rigging equipment. Some of these added expenses include:Maintaining a large and diverse inventory to ensure product is in stock and available for fulfillment
These extra expenses to the seller may present themselves in the form of an additional fee for rush delivery and fulfillment on your order, or you may see it as a higher cost in freight. And you know what? You may be okay paying a few extra dollars for a sling from a local rigging shop if you know that they’re equipped to deliver an emergency replacement if your equipment were to break or fail.
Bottom line, rush orders increase the cost of your rigging products. However, if you have smaller quantities, know what you want and can wait a few days to receive your equipment, then the online rigging stores and catalog and supply houses are still a very viable option for you.
Benjamin Franklin once said, “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” Where you buy, what you buy, how much you buy, and how quickly you need it, all have a major determination on the price that you’ll pay for lifting and rigging gear. The time that you spend determining how these factors can get you the most value for your rigging dollar will be well spent.

Wire rope manufacturers produce their products in order to provide a high load capacity, versatile alternative to weaker ropes like manila rope or hemp rope. Wire rope products are used for a wide variety of motion transmission applications, among them: lifting, baling, tie down, hoisting, hauling, towing, mooring, anchoring, rigging, cargo control, guidance and counterbalance. They can also be used as railing, fencing and guardrailing.
Wire rope is a must-have for many heavy duty industrial applications. From mining to forestry to marine and beyond, there’s wire rope for almost every job. Some of the many industries in which wire rope is popular include: construction, agriculture, marine, industrial manufacturing, fitness, sports and recreation (plastic coated cables for outdoor playground equipment and sports equipment), electronics, theater (black powder coated cables for stage rigging), mining, gas and oil, transportation, security, healthcare and consumer goods.
Wire rope as we know it was invented just under 200 years ago, between 1831 and 1834. At that time, the goal was to create a rope strong enough to support work in the mines of the Harz Mountains. Invented by Wilhelm Albert, a German mining engineer, this wire rope consisted on four three-stranded wires. It was much stronger than older rope varieties, such as manila rope, hemp rope and metal chain rope.
While studying at Freiburg School of Mines, a man named L.D.B. Gordon visited the mines in the Harz Mountains, where he met Albert. After he left, Gordon wrote to his friend Robert Stirling Newall, urging him to create a machine for manufacturing wire ropes. Newall, of Dundee, Scotland, did just that, designing a wire rope machine that made wire ropes with four strands, consisting of four wires each. After Gordon returned to Dundee, he and Newall, along with Charles Liddell, formed R.S. Newall and Company. In 1840, Newall received a patent for “certain improvements in wire rope and the machinery for making such rope.”
In 1841, an American manufacturer named John A. Roebling began producing wire rope for suspension bridges. Soon after, another set of Americans, Josiah White and Erskine Hazard, started incorporating wire rope into coal mining and railroad projects, forming Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company (LC&N Co.). In 1848, wire rope from their wire rope factory in Mauch Chunk, Pennsylvania provided the lift cables needed to complete the Ashley Planes Project. This project sought to improve the performance and appearance of the freight railroad that ran through Ashley, Pennsylvania, by adding lift cables. This increased tourism and increased the railroad’s coal capacity. Before, cars took almost four hours to return; after, they took less than 20 minutes.
Wire rope likewise changed the landscape (again) in Germany, in 1874, when an engineering firm called Adolf Bleichert & Co. used wire rope to build Bi-cable aerial tramways. These allowed them to mine the Ruhr Valley. Several years later, they also used wire rope to build tramways for the German Imperial Army and the Wehrmacht. These tramways were wildly successful, opening up roads in Germany and all over Europe and the USA.
Since the 1800s, manufacturers and engineers have found ways to improve wire rope, through stronger materials and material treatments, such as galvanization, and different rope configurations. Today, wire rope makes possible many heavy industrial processes. It has become a necessity of the modern world.
Strands are made by tightly twisting or braiding individual wire together. One strand could have anywhere between two and several dozen wire filaments depending on the necessary strength, flexibility, and weight capacity.
One of the most dynamic elements of wire cables is the inner core. The strands are wrapped around the core, and it can be made of different metals, fibers, or even impregnated fiber materials. For heavy applications, cores are often made of a different strand of wire called an independent wire rope core (IWRC). An IWRC has a considerable amount of flexibility and it is still very strong. In fact, at least 7.5% of the strength increase in a wire rope can be attributed to an IWRC.
While they sometimes use other metals, like aluminum, nickel, copper, titanium, and even bronze for some applications, manufacturers primarily produce wire rope from steel. This is because steel is very strong and stretchable. Among the most common types they use are: galvanized wire, bright wire, stainless steel and cold drawn steel.
Of the wire rope steels, cold drawn carbon steel wire is most popular, although stainless steel wire rope is sometimes employed as well. Stainless steel rope is most popular for its anti-corrosive properties. Bright wire rope, a type of ungalvanized steel wire rope, is also popular. For added strength and durability, galvanized steel wire rope/galvanized steel cables are a very popular choice. Galvanized aircraft cable, for example, is always a must in aerospace.
When choosing or designing a custom wire rope for your application, suppliers consider factors such as: the environment in which the rope will function, required rust resistance, required flexibility, temperature resistance, required breaking strength and wire rope diameter. To accommodate your needs, manufacturers can do special things like: make your rope rotation resistant, color code your rope, or add a corrosion resistant coating. For instance, sometimes they specially treat and coat a cable with plastic or some other compound for added protection. This is particularly important to prevent fraying if the wire rope is often in motion on a pulley.
Manufacturers and distributors identify the differences in wire cable by listing the number of strands and the amount of wires per strand so that anyone that orders understand the strength of the cable. Sometimes they are also categorized by their length or pitch. Common examples of this include: 6 x 19, 6 x 25, 19 x 7, 7 x 19, 7 x 7, 6 x 26 and 6 x 36.
More complex wire rope identification codes connote information like core type, weight limit and more. Any additional hardware like connectors, fasteners, pulleys and fittings are usually listed in the same area to show varying strengths and degrees of fray prevention.
Cable wire rope is a heavy-duty wire rope. To give it its high strength, manufacturers construct it using several individual filaments that are twisted in strands and helically wrapped around the core. A very common example of cable wire rope is steel cable.
Spiral rope is made up an assemblage of wires with round or curved strands. The assemblage features at least one outer layer cord pointed in the opposite direction of the wire. The big advantage of spiral ropes is the fact that they block moisture, water and pollutants from entering the interior of the rope.
Similarly, stranded rope steel wire is made up of an assemblage of spirally wound strands. Unlike spiral rope, though, its wire patterns have crisscrossing layers. These layers create an exceptionally strong rope. Stranded rope may have one of three core material types: wire rope, wire strand or fiber.
Wire rope chain, like all chains, is made up of a series of links. Because it is not solid, wire rope chain is quite flexible. At the same time, it is prone to mechanical failure.
Wire rope slings are made from improved plow wire steel, a strong steel wire that offers superior return loop slings and better security. The plow wire steel also shields rope at its connection points, which extends its working life. Wire rope slings, in general, provide their applications with increased safety, capacity and performance. Wire rope sling is a rope category that encompasses a wide range of sub-products, such as permaloc rope sling, permaloc bridle slings and endless slings. These and other wire rope slings may be accompanied by a wide variety of sling terminations, such as thimbles, chokers and hooks.
Wire rope offers its user many advantages. First, design of even distribution of weight among strands makes it ideal for lifting extremely heavy loads. Second, wire rope is extremely durable and, when matched properly to the application, can withstand great stress and elements like corrosion and abrasion. In addition, it is very versatile. Its many iterations and the ways in which the rope can treated means that users can get rope custom fit for virtually any application.
Depending on the type of wire rope with which you are working and your application, you may want to invest in different accessories. Among these accessories are: wire rope clips, steel carabiners, fittings, fasteners and connections.
To ensure that your wire rope quality remains high, you must regularly inspect them for wear and degradation. The right wire rope should be selected for a particular use. Watch out for performance-impacting damage like: rust, fraying and kinks. To make sure that they stay in tip-top shape, you should also clean and lubricate them as needed. Check for this need as a part of your regular inspection.
Rope care is about more than inspection. It’s also about making an effort to use and store them properly every time you use them. For example, never exceed your rope’s rated load and breaking strength. Doing so will not only cause the weakening of your cable, but it may even cause immediate breakage. In addition, always store your wire rope cable in a dry and warm area, away from those elements that could cause premature rusting or other damage. Finally, always carefully wind your wire rope when you’re done with it, so as to avoid kinks. If you follow all these tips and treat your wire rope assemblies well, they will reward you with a long and productive service life.
Always make sure that you purchase wire rope that matches your industry and regional standards. Some of the most widely referenced standards organizations for wire rope include: ISO, ASTM International and OSHA. Talk over your specifications and application with your wire rope supplier to figure out what’s best for you.
