Wire Rope Slings
- Least expensive per capacity of all steel slings
- Good abrasion resistance increases useful life of sling
- IWRC can be used at temperatures up to 400° F
- Countless combinations of sling terminations to fit specific lift requirements
- Available in wire core for strength and fiber core for flexibility
- Numerous body constructions for variety of applications
- Permaloc™ slings have reserve strength should the sleeve become damaged in use

Permaloc™ Wire Rope Slings
Lift-All Permaloc slings are made using the Flemish Eye splice technique to form the eyes. Unlike the simple return loop method that places 100% of its strength on the swaged sleeve, Permaloc slings have reserve strength should the sleeve become damaged in use.
Maintains all the basic Lift-All wire rope sling features plus...
Eye/Eye Style Slings
- Reserve strength: Integrity of eyes not solely dependent upon steel sleeves.
- When specified, thimble eyes protect wire rope from wear for increased life.
- Good abrasion resistance for longer life.
