soft eye wire rope pricelist
Wire Rope Material: The lifting slings are made from independent wire rope core (IWRC) offering less stretch and resistance to crushing while maintaining sling flexibility. Wire rope slings are fabricated from extra improved plow steel (EIPS).
A low quality wire rope sling can cause injury and damage. A look-alike wire rope sling often found at lower prices is also often advertised to conform to the same safety standards (if at all). Be aware that it may refer to safety ratings in effect decades ago. So for example under the same safety standard a decade ago, a wire rope sling may be rated to 100% without proof load testing while today it may be 300% with proof load testing. Be assured that we only sell the highest quality wire rope slings and our advertised safety standards conform to the current ASME standards.
Working load limits (capacity) of the wire rope lifting slings vary depending on the angle of use. The capacity is reduced as the angle of use declines. See drawing below how a 1,000 lbs sling capacity is reduced as the angle of use declines. The capacity of the sling is always highest at a 90 degree angle of use and smallest at an angle of 30 degrees (or less).
The wire rope sling is not quite as durable. The wire rope sling is not as flexible as chain but its greater stiffness can be an advantage if it has to be inserted through a small opening or beneath a load. However, when wrapped around a load, the wire rope sling often tends to deform permanently to the shape of the load. Wire rope suitable for slings comes in a variety of grades and constructions. In most cases looping back and securing the loop with a metal sleeve terminates the rope. This forms a loop or soft eye, the simplest form of sling end. Thimbles are used to support and protect the eye from abrasion. Wire rope is generally cheaper and lighter than chain which can be a plus, particularly for applications that require long sling lengths.
The nylon and polyester slings have the advantage of being lightweight in comparison to chain and wire rope slings. They are very flexible and relatively soft; therefore, they are suitable in applications were minimal damage to the load"s surface finish is important. The rope is made endless or terminated with an eye by means of a handmade splice. Similar to a wire rope sling, various terminal fittings are available. Without adequate protection, nylon and poly slings are susceptible to being severed when impinging on even a relatively moderate sharp edge.
Wire rope is often commonly referred to as cable; they are one in the same. Wire rope is composed of wires, strands, and a core. The basic unit is the wire, which is formed into strands. The strands are wound around the core. Various types of wire rope exist to meet a range of uses and operating conditions. These types are designated by the number of strands; the number, sizes and arrangement of the wires in each strand; and the way in which the wires and strands are wound, or laid, about each other.
Important characteristics of wire rope relate to the number and size of the outer wires. A small number of large outer wires result in better resistance to wear and corrosion. A large number of small wires result in better flexibility and resistance to fatigue.
The core acts as the axial member about which the strands are laid. Wire rope cores are made in two different forms. The one used most extensively is a wire rope of suitable size to serve as a core. It is called as independent wire rope core (IWRC). IWRC has increased tensile strength, offers less stretch, and is resistant to crushing; however, is less flexible. The other type is a wire strand core (WSC). This consists of a multiple-wire strand, and may be the same construction as the main rope strands.
Two grades of carbon steel wire are offered. The bulk of commercial wire rope lifting sling is made from improved plow steel (IPS) or extra improved plow steel (EIPS) which has a higher tensile strength.
Hand Splicing:Because no metal sleeve is required to secure the eye in the hand spliced sling, it exhibits more flexibility than mechanically splice slings of equal diameter. They have a more narrow profile and therefore can fit through tight spaces. Without benefit of a metal sleeve, lifts must be limited to applications where the wire rope sling is restrained from rotation and possible unlaying of the sling body.
Mechanical Splicing:Mechanically spliced eyes do not suffer the limitations of hand splicing, are economical, and offer the highest rated capacity of any spliced wire rope sling. This wire rope sling is fabricated by unlaying the rope body into two parts, one containing half the number of strands, the other having the remaining strands and core. The rope is unlayed far enough back to allow the eye to be formed by looping one part in one direction and the other part in the opposite direction and laying the rope back together. The strands are rolled back around the rope body and a metal sleeve is slipped over the ends and pressed (or swaged) to secure the ends to the body of the wire rope sling.

Rope Services Direct supplies a variety of anti-spin non rotating wire rope (also called rotation resistant wire-rope). All standard rope wirehas a tendency to develop torque and therefore prone to rotation, whereas non-rotating wire ropes are designed so that the wire-rope outer rotational force naturally counteracts the inner strands rotational force. This is in the event that a rope is subjected to a load.
Rope elongation and rotation occurs on standard ropes when loaded, which can therefore spin the load, quite possibly out of control, which can be dangerous. When the rope rotates in this way the strands will begin to unravel. This causes the rope to lose strength and will undoubtedly fail, which could be catastrophic. It is for these reasons that non rotating wire rope is commonly used for many types of lifting applications including main hoist rope, whip rope,crane rope, off-shore and deck rope and more.
Non rotating wire rope or rotation resistant wire rope has a different construction to standard. as wires and strands are not laid in the same direction like they would be on standard rope. Inner and outer strands of wires are laid in opposite directions. For example the inner may be constructed in left hand lay whilst the outer layer is in right hand lay. The nature of this construction means that torsional forces on the inner and outer wires/strands will counteract each other and therefore minimising the risk of unraveling.
It is worth noting that the number of strand layers will have an effect of the resistance of rotation. A 2 layer rope has less resistance than a 3 layer rope. Therefore the more layers the rope has the greater rotation resistance it will have.
These types of ropes can be classified as spin resistant, rotation resistant or non rotation resistant. Classed on the basis of the number of rotations a certain length of rope does when a force of 20% of the MBF is applied; with 1 turn or less the rope will be classified as non rotating; with rotations between 1 & 4 the rope is classed as low rotation and for rotations between 4 & 10 the rope will be classified as spin resistant, any higher and the rope is NOT rotation resistant at all.
Correct usage and care with handling will prolong the working life. This is due to the friction on the inner wires caused by the strand crossover’s which will eventually cause the inner wires to break up. This is more apparent on non rotating wire rope with two layers. Ropes with 3 or more strand layers will distribute the radial pressures more evenly. Which will reduce friction and stress on the inner wires.
Regular,thorough inspectionsof non rotating rope are essential due to the fact that it is the inner strands that often break first and broken internal wires often go unnoticed as they are difficult to see.Rope Services Direct offer inspectionson all rope with certification issued on completion.
Holding both ends of the rope will prevent unraveling. Correctly fitted terminations will help to prevent damage. Kinking and unraveling may occur and they can also have an effect on the rotational balance if not fitted correctly.

MAX Groups Marine is one of the most trusted suppliers of stainless steel and galvanised wire ropes/cables. Wire ropes consist of several strands of metal wire twisted into a helix form, forming extremely durable wire ropes for various marine purposes. Wire ropes are exposed to high fluctuation of contradicting forces, wear and tear or even corrosion in some cases. Thus, the quality of wire rope has to be taken very seriously.
Constant eye inspection and tests should be carried out to make sure the wire ropes are performing as they should. In MAX, all manufacturing of wire ropes are supervised and tested by professional technicians at all times.
Commonly used types of wire ropes may be of a fiber core (FC), Wire Strand core (WSC) or an Independent Wire Rope Core (IWRC). Usually IWRC core ropes are more durable whereas fibre core wire ropes are more elastic. The choice of wire rope core mostly depends on the usage and situation.
Most wire ropes are made from high-carbon steel, iron, stainless steel, bronze and more. Carbon steel wire ropes are graded from IPS (Improved Plow Steel), EIPS (Extra Improved Plow Steel to EEIPS (Extra Extra Improved Plow Steel), with each grade signifying its nominal strength. The most popular MAX steel wire ropes are of EIPS grade.
It doesn’t matter whether the lay direction is right (Z) or left (S), ordinary lay or langlay, MAX wire ropes are designed to have high durability and tensile strength for heavy industry usage.
For wire rope slings, you may opt for thimble eye (where a thimble if fixed inside the loop to preserve the natural loop shape and prevent direct contact that will damage the cable) or soft eye. Besides, rope ends with machine swaged with ferrules or sockets is a better option than hand spliced slings as it offers more protection.
