wire rope capacity table for sale

Choose wire rope slings by diameter based on capacity ratings. Then shop by length. Quad leg wire rope slings are comprised of four lengths of wire rope that are connected at the top with a single oblong master link, resulting in a design that provides excellent load balance and control. Also known in the industry as 4 leg bridle wire rope slings or simply 4 leg cable slings, they are traditionally made with latched eye hooks at the end of each rope length, but each leg can be customized with different hardware as needed. We"ve added thimbles to the "eyes" or loops that connect the lengths to the oblong, to offer protection at the point of contact, thereby extending the life of the sling. All of our four leg wire rope slings feature a flemish eye splice and carbon steel sleeve, for superior use of rope capacity.

Rated capacities of 4 leg wire rope slings will vary widely based on the angle/direction of the pull in the lift. The type of wire rope will also vary its uses and capacities. We offer 4 leg wire slings in both a 6x19 EIPS configuration and a 6x36 EIPS configuration; all feature an Independent Wire Rope Core (IWRC) for resistance, even in harsh environments.

Wire rope bridles are measured by the length of the sling leg plus the end hook. The length of the oblong master should not be included in the overall measurement.

Galvanized wire rope is categorized by number of strands in its construction. We supply most of them but we concentrate on the two major categories of galvanized (and ungalvanized or bright) wire rope. These “classes” are referred to as 6x19 and 6x36. Within each category of galvanized wire rope there are different “constructions” illustrated in the tables below.

Wire rope, galvanized and ungalvanized is used for many kinds of projects and applications. No matter the application galvanized wire rope must be used properly to insure the safest working conditions. All of our galvanized wire rope is manufactured to meet or exceed Federal Specification RRW-410 and is mill certified.

All of these general purpose wire ropes are available in full reels, custom cut sizes or as part of a custom made wire rope sling. Contact us today for more information.

Galvanized wire rope also comes in different strength categories (IPS and EIPS) and different cores (FC or fiber core and IWRC or independent wire rope core). Relevant data for each is listed in the table below.

Delta Rigging and Tools is a proud distributor of Slingmax® Rigging Solutions and their Gator-Laid®, Gator-Flex®, and Tri-Flex® braided wire rope slings. Multi-part braided wire rope slings allow you to get a great deal of flexibility and high capacity from a wire rope sling. With traditional wire rope slings as the capacity of the sling increases the diameter of the wire rope gets thicker and the flexibility of the sling decreases. This makes it difficult to manipulate and maneuver the slings in the field. By using multiple wire ropes braided together instead of one thicker wire rope the Slingmax® slings give you the flexibility of the small diameter wire ropes used in their construction, and a high capacity created by the multiple parts of line working together.

6x36 is a flexible general engineering wire rope readily available in galvanised, ungalvanised and marine grade stainless steel. The wire rope has an equal lay construction (warrington seale) and achieves a superior breaking load to the 6x19 construction range. The construction has been designed to give a flexible rope with a good fatigue life. A 6x36 wire rope is available with either FC (fibre core) or IWRC (independent wire rope core) and is used for a wide range of applications, examples of which are shown below:

Polyester is considered by some to be the best general purpose rope. It"s also one of the more popular choices when a tough heavy duty rope is needed.

Polyester rope is a great rope for general industrial applications as well as rigging applications. It does great in the outdoors and tough elements of nature. Can be seen being used for lines to tie down or hold back boats in marine applications.

A few uses for this rope may include: winches, dock rigging, blocking, or simple household applications. It can also be mistaken many times as Nylon with many fine details in differences. Largest difference being it"s resistance to chemicals.​

A very quick knot to tie, the square knot is used to join two ropes together in a simple and effective way. However, you should be aware that this knot is not reliable for heavy weights or critical situations. The square knot has been used for centuries to join two ends together for bandages or shoelaces or belts. The Boy Scouts require skill with this knot for general purposes.

The bowline was originally used in a marine setting (as are many knots), but has proved itself useful in a wide range of situations. The qualities of this knot are its simplicity, strength and resistance to jamming. Because of the intentionally open loop in the completed knot, the bowline can be slung over a post or other object after it has been tied. This knot can also be tied after the rope has been passed through a ring. You should be cautious as the knot can become undone if it is shaken or jostled.

A simple knot with the most basic tying steps. Used mainly as a stopper in such applications like climbing ropes or to stop the rope from falling out of a pulley system.

The Sheet bend is best used to join two ropes of unequal sizes. This is great for broken splices or just needing a few extra feet to pull down that branch.

These are some of the more common knots used for work or play. An emergency situation is not the time to try to tie one of these knots. It is best to be prepared by practicing these knots before you need them. Many knot tying guides are available. Find one with good illustrations and practice with inexpensive rope or scraps. You will then have the confidence to take full advantage of rope and the many situations you are likely to encounter.
