TRI-FLEX®
Wire Rope Sling |
FeaturesThis
is a three part wire rope sling developed to give the rigger
the advantages of strength combined with greater flexibility.
It was created to replace large diameter single part wire rope
slings which proved awkward and stiff. Tri-Flex® Slings are
now manufactured in sizes from 1 ton to 145 ton capacity.
Steel erectors, millwrights and riggers use Tri-Flex® slings
for everything from steel erection or machinery moving to any
type of heavy lift. These slings are made in matching lengths.

GATOR-MAX™
Sling |
FeaturesThis
is the strongest multi-part
sling with great flexibility. It will develop its full
strength on small pins with a D/d ratio of 1/1 where D is the
pin and d is the sling body. (4/1 D/d when comparing the pin
to the component parts.) For heavy lifting work this is the
most efficient wire rope sling that meets all of the
standards. The eyes have the wire ropes (12) laid in parallel
so that there is no cross over and then they are wrapped with
heavy duty material to keep them in position. It is an
excellent choice when you have to use small pins. This sling
was developed to meet conditions specified by the US Navy and
the Wire Rope Technical Board Sling Manual.

and Gator-Laid® products were developed in conjunction with
the off-shore oil industry to provide the worlds best heavy
lift wire rope slings. D/d ratios are the same as for the

multi-part wire rope sling. The D/d ratio of the sling body is
5:1 and the eye loop is 1:1 where D is the pin or load
diameter and d is the sling body diameter. US Patent
