wire rope 4 leg bridle slings in stock
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.
Our slings are available in a variety of lengths, but can also be customized to any length you need. Give our sales team a call for more information or to place a custom order.
Proof testing certificates can be supplied with your order for a nominal fee and must be requested at the time of order. Proof tests are performed in the factory where the sling is pull tested to 2x the vertical rating and officially recorded as proof for governing bodies. During the standard manufacturing process, only random slings during a production run are tested for compliance; in order to provide proof testing certificates with your order, every sling must be pull tested at the time of manufacture.
Rated Capacity: Do not exceed rated capacities. Sling capacity decreases as the angle from horizontal decreases. Slings should not be used at angles of less than 30°.60°: 2,200 lbs.
All Slings are manufactured with galvanized carbon Steel Sleeves for greater resistance to corrosion and they all come with a stainless steel identification plate for information to last longer. Turn back Slings are manufactured with Aluminum Sleeves.
Wire rope slings are strong, efficient, and reliable accessories in the material handling industry. Wire rope functions as a excellent sling material in applications where a combination of strength and abrasion are necessary. Wire rope slings are available in an array of configurations to fit almost any application. Wire rope slings are made in the USA.
Eye and Eye slings can be used in choker, vertical and basket hitches. Slings with Half Twist (Type 4) eyes are furnished unless Flat (Type 3) eyes are specified. Sling eyes will be wrapped at the bearing point unless otherwise specified.
Eye & Eye nylon & polyester lifting slings featuring flat eyes can be used in all three hitches: choker, vertical and basket. Heavy duty nylon rigging slings featuring the Flat Eye and Eye design are made in widths ranging from as narrow as 1 inch and as wide as 12 inches. All Lift-It® Flat Eye & Eye slings feature protection at the sling eye bearing points. The extra protection wrapped around the sling eye provides additional service life as this is a critical wear area for all polyester and nylon rigging slings.
Sling eyes are automatically tapered to a narrower width on Eye and Eye lifting slings that are over 3 inches in width. At Lift-It we do not charge extra to taper the eyes for your 2 inch wide rigging straps.
Flat Eye, Eye and Eye nylon lifting slings used by crane and rigging customers around the world provide for the lowest profile eye available. Low profile eyes make sling removal easier when tight clearances are unavoidable.
If a more supple body composition is desired consider using Lift-It® polyester roundslings in the eye and eye style. Eye & Eye polyester round slings are formed by passing an exterior sleeve over the strands of the polyester roundsling.

Quad, or 4 leg wire rope sling arrangements, consist of four lengths of wire rope that are joined at the top with a master link. This design arrangement results in superb control and load balance. It is sometimes referred to as a four leg cable sling arrangement or a four leg bridle wire rope sling arrangement. Many times, these arrangements include latched eye hooks the end of each length of rope. However custom-made variations of each leg is possible by the addition of alternate hardware as required. At Kennedy Wire Rope & Sling Co., Inc., we offer innovative products that help you optimize your wire rope sling applications.
A 4 leg wire rope sling can be used for general lifting purposes. These slings may consist of an attachment directly to the load by placing loops over lugs or hooking into lifting eyes. These arrangements are designed for both unbalanced and balance loads, as well as for heavy lifts very easily distributable over four points. The wire rope slings we offer at Kennedy Wire Rope & Sling Co., Inc. are made from high quality steel and offer resistance to heat, corrosion, many chemicals and any detrimental effects of extended exposure to sunlight.
Whether they are used with hooks, other end attachments, or as chokers, the load capacity of four-legged bridles is affected by the rigging angle. As the leg angles are reduced, the rated capacity also reduces.
Sometimes thimbles may be added to the loops that connect the wire rope links to the oblong, offering important protection at the point of contact and prolonging sling life. Additionally, a flemish eye splice may be used with 4 leg wire rope sling arrangements as well as a carbon steel sleeve to enhance the use of ropes’ capacity.
Multi-legged bridles consisting of between two and four straight legs may be offered with thimble eyes, plain eyes, closed sockets, open sockets, turnbuckles, or shackles.
Depending on the direction and angle of the pull in the lift, the rated capacities of four leg wire rope sling arrangements can vary significantly. The type of wire rope used can also have an impact on capacities and recommended or permissible application.
Rated Capacity for two-legged wire rope sling bridles, whether used as chokers or with hooks or other end fixtures, is affected by rigging angles, the same as straight slings in basket hitches.
When looking for strength and durability on that next big rigging job, look no further than our array of HSI Wire Rope Slings. A wide-variety of sizes and styles are available whether working on a small-load lift or preparing to maneuver a massively heavy element. Our slings are there to solve your hoisting, lifting and towing problems.
HSI slings are assembled in an ISO 9001:2015 certified facility where quality, safety and efficiency are priority. Audits are conducted every year by an independent third-party to ensure manufacturer compliance with the set standards.
Four leg slings are used for both balanced and unbalanced loads. This connection style is recommended for heavier loads where the design calls for more weight distribution as the four connection points offer additional levels of load security. Each eye on these slings is formed using the mechanical Flemish Eye Splice. This process allows for the most efficient use of the rope capacity with top-quality steel as the pull is directly along the centerline of the rope and eye.
