This anchoring device is constructed with a load-bearing core of wound steel wire ropes encased in an outer protective sheath that holds the ropes together and shields them from abrasion and mechanical damage. Compared with a standard textile sling, this design provides enhanced resistance to cuts, abrasion, and crushing, improving durability and service life in demanding work environments.

Key features

• Core: Multiple wound steel wire ropes serve as the primary load-bearing element.

• Protective sheath: Tough outer tube protects the core from mechanical damage and contamination.

• Higher mechanical safety: The metallic core construction offers greater resistance to sharp edges and crushing than textile slings.

• Break strength: Exceeds applicable standard requirements and provides a minimum breaking force greater than 50 kN (over 11,240 lbf).

• Core inspection: A core inspection hole with pocket allows full visual inspection of the internal wire-rope core so wear, corrosion, or broken wires can be detected without destroying the sling.

• Typical applications: Temporary or permanent anchoring, fall-arrest anchor points, tie-off in confined-space work, rigging where higher abrasion and cut resistance are required.

Available lengths (metric → imperial)

• 0.5 m — 1.6 ft (approximately)

• 0.8 m — 2.6 ft (approximately)

• 1.0 m — 3.3 ft (approximately)

Notes and care

• Inspect the core regularly through the inspection pocket for broken wires, corrosion, distortion, or any other signs of deterioration; remove from service if any damage is detected.

• Avoid sharp-edge loading without appropriate edge protection.

• Store dry and away from chemicals that could accelerate corrosion of steel components.

• Use only as specified by applicable standards and in accordance with manufacturer instructions and safe rigging practices.
