This Rigger’s Handbook is dedicated to Theodore C. Hanes, the founder of Hanes Supply.
Ted left us on August 11, 1997. We Know it is appropriate that the history of Hanes Supply
should be told by Ted. His hard work, common sense and dedication enabled Hanes Supply
to move forward into the next millennium.

"It all started when Tex McLaughlin taught me how to splice cable in order to obtain
my Federal A and E Aircraft Mechanics License #8867 on May 1, 1930. After leaving
American Airways August 20, 1936 to become a Professional Firefighter, I soon
learned that splicing cable for local contractor friends like Herb Darling and
Howard Stimm put extra bread on the table.
Soon we had to take operations into larger quarters at 23 Poplar Avenue. In 1962 we
moved to the warehouse at 1294 Seneca Street, giving us the space for a larger Sling
Shop and also the ability to be an Allied Products Supply House with more products
and quicker, better service.
Our new 55,000 square feet warehouse at 55 James E. Casey Drive enables us to
stock even more products to better service our customers. The increasing number
of Hanes Supply customers in Central New York State convinced us to open our
new Rochester Warehouse. Hanes Supply is committed to making the moves to give
the best possible service to all of our customers.
On October 1, 1975 I retired as a Battalion Chief from the Buffalo Fire Department
enabling me to devote more time to the company until my son Bill could take the
wheel. Bill graduated in June 1980 as a Civil Engineer from the State University at
Buffalo and is now President of Hanes Supply, Inc. Having been around watching
Dad since he was 9 years old, he thoroughly knows the wire rope business.
In association with his friends Dennis St. Germain and Jim Boyco, Bill and the
Hanes Supply Crew have learned many modern improvements in sling productions.
Many thanks to our hard working staff led by our Operations Manager and
son-in-law Dave Learn, Retired Office Manager Hermine Bruno, my other son
Ted Hanes, II and my late wife Nellie C. Hanes who have all been very valuable
assets to our business."
Ted Hanes, 1996
Ted had many other accomplishments including being a Buffalo Firefighter for 39 years,
retiring as Battalion Chief in 1975. During WWII, Ted served in the Coast Guard Reserve. Ted
was Commodore of the Buffalo Yacht Club in 1957 and Master of his Masonic Lodge in 1950.
Ted and Nellie had five children in the 1950’s. When most couples would be thinking of
retirement, they were busy providing the best home and education for their children.
Work was never a four letter word to Ted. Long days and nights of working at Hanes Marine
and Cable and the Buffalo Fire Department were common. He spent countless hours making
slings by walking around the rigger’s vise. His strength and determination built Hanes Supply
into what it is today. He also had the strength to pass the company to the next generation.
Your memory and leadership will never leave us. Special thanks to a great man who we are
proud to have had as our father. God bless you.
Thank you,
Bill Hanes / Dave Learn / Ted Hanes II

Innovative Lifting Solutions
YOUR SLING AND RIGGING SPECIALIST

anes Supply specializes in lifting
solutions for a wide variety of
applications. As a manufacturer of Slingmax®
slings we are proud to provide riggers with
innovative products that increase productivity
and safetyi The following product inventions
provide benefits that make a rigger's work
easier, safer or more cost effective.

TWIN-PATH ® POLYESTER SLINGS
WITH COVERMAX
US Patent #4,850,629; CN #1,280,458

TPC slings are made in capacities up to
60,000 lbs. vertical. They have the
abrasion resistant Covermax cover with a
polyester inner cover over polyester fiber
cores. Complete with overload tell-tails
and are repairable. Like all Twin-Path ®
slings, they can be fitted with fiber optics
for inspection. These slings have up to 3%
stretch at rated capacity. See page 8.

TWIN-PATH ® EXTRA SLINGS
WITH COVERMAX AND
K-SPEC™ CORE YARN
US Patent #4,850,629; CN #1,280,458

TPXC The best synthetic sling. Made with
K-Spec™ high performance fibers and a
bulked nylon outer cover (Covermax) that is
very abrasion resistant. For vertical rated
capacities up to 300,000 lbs. This sling
features overload tell-tails, fiber optic
inspection system, red inner cover, and are
used worldwide in place of chain and wire
rope slings for heavy lifts. They are also
repairable. The Twin-Path® patented design
provides the rigger with redundant
protection in the event that one path is cut. These slings
have 1% stretch at rated capacity and are made in matched
lengths. If head room is critical, then these are the slings for
the job. Conforms to ASME B30.9 Chapter six and US Navy
NAVFAC P-307 Section 14. Developed by a team of
professional riggers to overcome shortfalls found in single
path roundslings. See page 7.

TWIN-PATH ® POLYESTER SLINGS
US Patent #4,850,629; CN #1,280,458

TP slings are the same as the TPC slings
except their outer covers are polyester and
less abrasion resistant than Covermax. See
page 8.

TWIN-PATH ® TWO LEG BRIDLES
US Patent #5,727,833 & 4,850,629

TL Simply the lightest and strongest
synthetic bridles in the world today.
Replaces existing chain and wire rope
bridles. The Twin-Path® synthetic bridle
with K-Spec™ core yarn is less than half
the weight of any steel assembly and is
the ergonomic bridle of the future, here
today. The loop at the top goes on the
crane hook and there is no heavy steel
ring to deal with. If you need a four leg
bridle, just use two Twin-Path® Two Leg bridles. Capacities
to 200,000 lbs. See page 9.

TWIN-PATH ® EXTRA SLINGS
WITH K-SPEC™
US Patent #4,850,629; CN #1,280,458

TPX Same as the slings above, but they
have polyester outer covers which are less
abrasion resistant than the Covermax.
Complete with overload tell-tails, fiber optic
inspection system, red inner cover, orange
outer cover, and are repairable. These slings
have 1% stretch at rated capacity and are
made in matched lengths. If you are
interested in safety, ergonomics, increased
productivity and saving money, then this is
the product.
See page 7.

TWIN-PATH ® EYE & EYE
SYNTHETIC SLING
US Patent #5,727,833 & 4,850,629

EE This product is made to be an
eye and eye sling only, with all of the
Twin-Path® features. This sling is
light, strong and less expensive than
a round sling with a sleeve. It can be
manufactured using either K-Spec™
core yarn or polyester. See page 10.

SYNTHETIC ARMOR
WEAR PADS

TWIN-PATH ® ADJUSTABLE
BRIDLE SLING
US Patent #4,850,629 & #5,651,573

For extra protection for
synthetic, wire rope, and
chain slings, we have
available an assortment of
materials
that
we
incorporate in our Synthetic
Armor Wear Pads. These are primarily for abrasion or wear
protection but can be used for cut protection in many cases.
Not only will these wear pads keep the load from damaging
the slings, but they will also protect the load from being
scratched by the slings. See page 14.

TPXA or TPA This tool is an aid to finding
the center of gravity when lifting objects
with uneven geometric proportions or offcenter balance points. When the load is
lifted, the ring moves over the COG to
balance and level the object. The TwinPath® may be permanently attached to the
ring, or use a G-Link™ for the connection.
See page 11.
SPARKEATER ® SYNTHETIC SLINGS
US Patent #4,850,629

G-LINK™ CONNECTORS

SE For hot environments up to 300°F, the
Sparkeater® lifts the load without marring
the surface of the lifted piece. Excellent for
stage rigging, this product offers protection
from exposure to fire, heat, sparks and
pyrotechnics. Made from Nomex® for the
cover and Aramid high performance core
yarns. Rated capacities of 2,000 lbs. to
30,000 lbs. Fire exposure testing was
performed by London Scientific and the
product was identified as being as good as
wire rope or chain for use in off shore
applications in the oil industry. See page 13.

US Patent #5,651,573 & Patents Pending

This is the only universal coupler
designed to fulfill all the needs of riggers
in the field! You can use it on TwinPath®, Web and Single Path Round
Slings for attaching hooks, rings, two
slings together, as a sliding choker
connection, as an adjustable sling, or as
a choke lock connection. No parts, bolts, nuts, cotters, pins,
or anything to look for. The G-Link™ connector keeps
hardware such as hooks or rings in the same plane as the
sling. See page 15.
TRI-FLEX ® WIRE ROPE SLING

FIBER OPTIC
INSPECTION OPTION

US Patent #4,043,581

This is a three-part wire rope sling
developed for strength combined with
greater flexibility. Replaces large
diameter single-part wire rope slings
which are awkward and stiff. Tri-Flex®
Slings are manufactured in sizes from 1
ton to 150 ton capacity. Steel erectors,
millwrights and riggers use Tri-Flex®
slings for everything from steel erection
and machinery moving to heavy lifts of
200 tons or more. These slings are
made in matching lengths.
See page 24.

US Patent #5,651,572

FO All of the Twin-Path®
slings have the Fiber Optic
inspection system. The fiber
optic cable will conduct light
using natural, overhead or flashlight sources. The condition
of the internal core yarn can be inspected by checking the
continuity of the fiber optic cable. If heat, chemicals,
crushing or cutting has occurred, the damage to the fiber
optic cable will destroy its ability to transmit light from one
end to the other. This gives the inspector a reason to
remove the sling from service and send it for repair
evaluation. See page 8.

TRI-FLEX ® WIRE ROPE

CORNERMAX™

US Patent #4,043,581

US Patent #5,651,573
& Patents Pending

Tri-Flex® Wire Rope is a three-part
wire rope made in lengths up to
200' installed on winches for
barges, tugs and car pullers. It
wraps snugly around the winch
hub because it has greater
flexibility than standard wire rope.
Order by specifying rated capacity or finished diameter, and
required end attachment.

The Cornermax™ cut
protection device prevents
a sharp edge on the load
from touching the sling.
In fact, the sharp edge
doesn't even touch the Cornermax™ protector! This protector
will handle the most extreme circumstances lifting steel and
concrete. See page 14.

TRI-FLEX ® SLING SYSTEM
US Patent #4,240,659
CN Patent #1,082,755
British Patent #2,029,796

T & D ULTRA-FLEX
WIRE ROPE SLING
US Patent #5,561,973

This product is a combination of
three Tri-Flex® Wire Rope slings
wrapped together to form a ninepart finished body sling. After a
heavy lift is done, the product can
be taken apart to form three
individual Tri-Flex ® slings for
smaller lifting work. There are
twelve parts of wire rope in the loop
for greater strength than traditional
nine part wire rope slings. See page 26.

Developed by a committee composed of
utility company workers and members of
the Slingmax® design team, this wire
rope sling is an extremely flexible
product with great applications for
general rigging purposes in the utility
industry. It makes a fantastic choker
sling especially when lifting poles.
See page 30.

GATOR-MAX ®
US Patent #5,561,973
& Patents Pending

GATOR-FLEX ® NINE PART
GROMMETS
US Patent #5,561,973

Tests have proven this sling to be the
strongest Multi-Part wire rope sling
when attached to small pins because it
has twelve parts of wire rope in the loop
in a parallel construction. 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.) The Gator-Max® sling was developed to meet
conditions specified by the US Navy and the Wire Rope
Technical Board Sling Manual. See page 27.

Ultra flexible slings for short
heavy lift connection. These
slings can be made shorter than
standard Multi-Part slings but
maintain all of the advantages.
See page 32.

TWIN-FLEX ®
WIRE ROPE SLINGS
US Patent #5,561,973

GATOR-LAID ®
WIRE ROPE SLING

Another model of a grommet type
sling which is formed into an eye and
eye design. It consists of 18 body
parts with a loop at each end. It is
extremely flexible and is used where
heavy lift, short slings are required.
See page 32.

US Patent #4,240,659

Identical to the Gator-Max® sling
except it has metal sleeves for
the splice connection. The ideal
sling for big lifts but when a
shorter sling is required. The
Gator-Flex ® and Gator-Laid ®
products were developed in
conjunction with the off shore oil industry to provide the best
heavy lift wire rope slings. See page 27.

CHAIN SLING SADDLE RING
US Patent #4,241,575;
CN Patent #1,086,510;
British Patent #2,029,370

GATOR-FLEX ®
WIRE ROPE SLING

This product gives a chain bridle length
adjustment capabilities in each chain leg. It
aids the rigger in placing the lifting point over
the center of gravity so the load will lift in a
level manner. Different length chains or
chains with different attachments can be
interchanged in the Saddle Ring for added
utility. The Saddle Ring has found favor with
millwrights for moving machinery in factories.
See page 46.

US Patent #5,561,973

This sling has a nine-part body
style but the eyes are crossed
or interwoven so that no
wrapping is necessary. This
allows for visual inspection of
the sling. Used for heavy lifts
and offers the highest flexibility in a Multi-Part wire rope
sling. See page 30.

Twin Path® Extra Covermax Slings
YOUR SLING AND RIGGING SPECIALIST

TWIN-PATH ® EXTRA SLING WITH COVERMAX
AND K-SPEC ® CORE YARN
TPXC This is the world's first truly ergonomic sling. It has

a bulked nylon outer cover for superior abrasion
resistance. These are made in sizes up to 300,000 lbs.
vertical rated capacity. Larger capacity slings are
available on special order. Extra Heavy Duty Covermax
is standard on 70,000 lb. vertical capacity and higher.
These slings have overload tell-tails, inner red cover,
and are used worldwide in place of wire rope slings for
heavy lifts. They are about 10% of the weight of a steel
sling. These products are repairable. The Twin-Path®
patented design provides the rigger with two connections
between the hook and the load for redundant back-up
protection. These slings have 1% stretch at rated capacity compared
to braided polyester round slings which can stretch up to 9%. If
ergonomics, productivity and safety are important, then these slings are the only
choice. This is the lightest and strongest sling on the market today with K-Spec®, the
longest lasting load bearing core yarn, backed by independent testing. All slings have fiber optic internal
inspection system.

WARNING

FIBER OPTIC INSPECTION
FOR ALL TWIN-PATH ® SLINGS
United States Patent #5,561,972 & Patents Pending

Twin-Path® slings have the Fiber Optic inspection system. The condition of the internal core yarn can be inspected
just by checking the continuity of the fiber optic cable. If crushing or cutting, heat or chemical damage, has
occurred, then the damage to the fiber optic cable will destroy its ability to transmit light from one end to the other
giving the inspector a reason to remove the sling from service and send it in for repair evaluation. The fiber optic
cable will conduct light using natural, overhead or flashlight sources. The inspector simply covers and removes
his finger from one end and watches the other end for blinking which indicates that the sling is OK to use for
another lift.

Twin-Path® Two Leg Bridles
YOUR SLING AND RIGGING SPECIALIST

TWIN-PATH ® TWO LEG BRIDLES
United States Patent #5,727,833 & #4,850,629

TL Simply the lightest and strongest synthetic bridles in the
world today. These are perfect to replace existing chain and
wire rope bridles. The Twin-Path® synthetic bridle with K-Spec®
core yarn is less than half the weight of any steel assembly and
is the ergonomic bridle of the future, here today. The loop at the
top goes on the crane hook and there is no heavy steel ring to
deal with. If you need a four leg bridle, just order two TwinPath® Two Leg Bridles. Capacities to 200,000 lbs. Please
specify the loop size at the top and the hardware such as hooks
required on the bottom of each leg. Hooks can be removable if
they are attached with G-Link™ connectors. This gives the
Twin-Path® Two Leg Bridle added versatility on the job.

SYNTHETIC SLING
United States Patent #5,727,833 & #4,850,629

EE This product is made to be an eye and
eye sling only. Usually an eye and eye sling
is made from a round sling with a sleeve
over it to form the eyes at each end. This
sling is light, strong and less expensive than
a round sling with a sleeve. It can be
manufactured using either K-Spec® core
yarn or polyester. Riggers have told us that
they have some applications where they
want an eye and eye sling only and this is
the one with all of the Twin-Path® features in
a strictly eye and eye product.

Twin-Path® Adjustable Bridle
YOUR SLING AND RIGGING SPECIALIST

The Twin-Path® Adjustable Bridle sling is a multi-purpose rigging tool and it's important that it is used
properly. The adjustment ring has a double sling on one side and a single sling on the other side.

If the lifting points are an equal distance from
the center of gravity, then the Twin-Path®
Adjustable can be hooked-up with the double
or single sling on either lifting point.

If the lifting points are an equal distance on
either side of the center of gravity but one is
higher, then the double sling should be
attached to the higher lifting point.

If one of the lifting points is closer to the
center of gravity, then attach the double sling
to this lifting point. It will have the highest
weight concentration. If the Twin-Path ®
Adjustable is attached so that the single sling
is nearest the center of gravity, it will not
allow the lift to be made.

Never use the Twin-Path® Adjustable Bridle
in situations where the sling-to-hook angle is
greater than 45°. Always connect above the
center of gravity. If connections are made
below the center of gravity, then the load may
turn when lifted.

Can fail if damaged, misused or overloaded. Inspect before use. Use only if trained.
Observe rated capacity. Avoid sharp edges and exposure to acid, alkali, sunlight and
temperature over 180°F. DEATH or INJURY can occur from improper use or maintenance.

SPARKEATER ®
SYNTHETIC SLINGS
U.S. Patent #4,850,629; CN Patent #1,280,458

SE When you have a hot environment up to
300°F, use a Sparkeater® to lift the load
without marring the surface of the lifted
piece. Also, when doing stage rigging order
this product for the protection it gives from
exposure to fire, heat, sparks and
pyrotechnics. Just specify black color for the
theater or yellow for all other applications.
These slings are made from Nomex® for the
cover and Aramid high-performance core
yarns. Available in capacities of 2,000 to
30,000 lbs. When lifting heated steel, wire
rope or chain slings might scratch the load
causing expensive rework. Fire exposure testing was performed by the Offshore
Certification Bureau and the product was identified as being as good as wire rope
or chain for use in off shore applications in the oil industry.

Twin-Path® Slings
YOUR SLING AND RIGGING SPECIALIST

7.0 - MECHANICAL CONSIDERATIONS
7.1

Determine the weight of the load. The weight of the load shall be within the rated capacity
of the sling.

7.2

Select a sling having suitable characteristics for the type of load, hitch and environment.

7.3

Slings shall not be loaded in excess of the rated capacity. Consideration shall be given to
angle of lift which may affect the lifting capacity. Diameters of pins and sharp edges also
may affect the capacity of the lifting sling.

7.4

Slings used in a choker shall not be forced to tighten around the load by pounding with
hammers or other objects. Choker hitches are the least effective way to use a sling based
on capacity. Two chokers should be used to balance the load. One choker in the center of
the load may create an unbalanced situation which could lead to an accident.

7.5

Slings used in a basket hitch must have the load balanced to prevent slippage and accidents.

7.6

Slings used with fittings shall be compatible with the fittings used. The lifting capacity shall
be rated at the lower of the fitting or sling. Fitting openings shall be of the proper shape and
size to assure that the sling will seat properly.

7.7

Slings shall be protected from cutting and sharp edges. All sharp protrusions and abrasive
surfaces will be kept from contact with the sling. Where unavoidable situations develop,
padding shall be placed between the sling and the load. The pin area of a shackle can
cause synthetic slings to cut and placing synthetic slings on the pin should be
avoided.

7.8

Slings shall not be dragged on the floor or drawn across other surfaces which may damage
the sling.

7.9

Slings shall not be twisted or tied in knots to shorten.

7.10 Slings shall not be pulled from under loads resting on the sling.
7.11 Do not drop objects on slings or run over them with vehicles.
7.12 Slings which are damaged shall not be used.
7.13 Sling hitches must provide control of the load.

Twin-Path® Slings
YOUR SLING AND RIGGING SPECIALIST

7.14 Portions of the human body shall be kept from between the sling and the load and from
between the sling and any attachment to lifting devices such as hooks.
7.15 Personnel shall stand clear of suspended loads.
7.16 Personnel shall not ride on the sling or suspended loads.
7.17 Avoid snatch or shock loading.
7.18 Twisting and kinking the legs of the sling shall be avoided.
7.19 Load applied to the hook should be centered in the bowl of the hooks. Do not point load
the hook.
7.20 During lifting with or without the load all personnel shall be alert for possible snagging.
7.21 The slings should contain or support the load from the sides above the center of gravity so
that the load will not tilt when the load is lifted.
7.22 Slings shall be of the proper length so that the angle of the sling to the load does not
reduce the rated capacity of the sling for a given angle.
7.23 Only legibly-marked or labeled slings should be used. If the tag is not legible, or missing,
the sling should not be used.
7.24 Keep labels or tags away from the load, the hook and the angle of choke.
7.25 Synthetic slings should be inspected each time before each lift.

8.0 - ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
8.1

When not in use, synthetic slings should be stored in a clean, dry place. Heat sources and
non-ventilated places should be avoided.

8.2

Chemically active environments can affect the strength of synthetic lifting slings. Different
chemicals will react with different exposure to Covermax bulked nylon, polyester, aramids,
and Olefins. Please see the enclosed tables for reactions of specific chemicals.

Aramids are resistant to most ketones, alcohols, dry cleaning solvents and many other organic
solvents. Its acid resistance is superior to that of nylon but is not as good as that of polyester.
Aramids show good resistance to alkalis at room temperature, but is degraded by strong alkalis at
higher temperatures.
Aramids are compatible with fluorine-containing elastomers, resins, and refrigerants at high
temperatures, and is resistant to fluorine compounds in concentrations usually encountered in
stack gases from metallurgical and rock-processing operations.
The resistance of aramids to oxides of sulphur at temperatures above the acid dew point is
superior to that of polyester. Below the dew point, concentrated sulphuric acid may condense on
the fiber and cause a progressive loss in strength.
In moderate-to-strong acid or alkali environments, evaluation of aramids should be made to ensure
that the yarn will perform acceptably before use.
Polyester and nylon are not significantly affected by most compounds of the following classes:
Alcohols
Dry Cleaning Solvents
Halogenated Hydrocarbons
Ketones
Soaps and Synthetic Detergents
Water (Including Sea Water)
Polyester also shows good-to-excellent resistance to:
• Aqueous solutions of most weak acids at the boil, and to most strong acids at room
temperature, but is disintegrated by concentrated (95%) sulphuric acid at room
temperature.
• Aqueous solutions of strong alkalis at room temperature, but is degraded at the boil.
• Oxidizing agents, and is not degraded by bleaching treatments ordinarily used for textiles.
Nylon is not significantly affected by most aldehydes, alkalis, ethers, or hydrocarbons, but is
deteriorated by dilute acids (e.g., hydrochloric acid and sulphuric acid in 10% concentrations at
room temperature cause a noticeable loss in breaking strength in 10 hours).
Solvents for nylon includes:
Concentrated formic acid
Phenolic compounds at room temperature
Calcium chloride in methanol at room temperature
Hot solutions of calcium chloride in:
Glacial Acetic Acid
Ethylene Chlorohydrin
Ethylene Glycol
Hot solutions of zinc chloride in methanol
Benzyl alcohol at the boil
Aramids are resistant to most weak acids and alkalis, ketones, alcohols, hydrocarbons, oils and
dry cleaning solvents. Strong acids and bases and sodium hypo-chlorite bleach attack aramids,
particularly at high temperatures of high concentrations.

Cold-Flow (Creep) is defined as fiber deformation (elongation) due to molecular
slippage under a constant steady static loading situation. Fibers that have this
inherent characteristic will display extremely low or negligible creep if minor
fluctuations occur in the rate and/or frequency of load levels. In rope form, this would
apply to polypropylene, polyethylene, and HDPE Olefin fibers.

YOUR SLING AND RIGGING SPECIALIST

10.0 - INSPECTIONS OF TWIN-PATH® PRODUCTS
10.1 Tell-Tails should extend 1/2" past the tag area of each sling. If both Tell-Tails are not 1/2" long,
remove the sling from service. If the Tell-Tails show evidence of chemical degradation, remove the
sling from service. Send to the manufacturer for repair evaluation.
10.2 Slings should be inspected for evidence of cutting or tearing of the outer cover. Slings with cuts
should be removed from service and sent back to the manufacturer for repair evaluation. Damage
to the cover may indicate core damage.
10.3 Inspect slings for evidence of heat damage. Slings with polyester or Covermax covers should not
be exposed to temperature above 82°C/180°F. Aramid Sparkeater Slings should not be exposed to
temperatures above 149°C/300°F. K-spec Core Slings should not be exposed to temperatures
above 82°C/180°F. Cold temperature exposure down to minus 40°C/minus 40°F do not effect the
strength of the products. Other temperatures should be referred to the manufacturer.
10.4 Slings using aluminum fittings shall not be used where fumes, vapors, sprays, or mists of alkalis or
acids are present.
10.5 Twin-Path® Lifting Slings and any fittings attached should be the subject of frequent and regular
inspections. In addition to the initial inspection by a competent person and frequent written
inspections, the slings should be visually inspected before each use.
10.6 Written inspections should be performed as required and documents of such inspection by a competent person shall be kept on file in the safety department of the plant or site where used. Inspections
may be done more often based on frequency of use, severity of conditions and experience of past
service life.
10.7 Slings should be examined throughout their length for abrasion, cuts, heat damage, fitting distortion
or damage, tag legibility, and if any doubts are held by the inspector, the sling should be removed
from service. Core integrity is determined by fiber optic light transfer if this type of tell-tail is
installed in the sling. If a deterioration is found, the sling must be removed from service and
returned to the manufacturer for evaluation.
10.8 Slings removed from service that are not capable of repair should be destroyed and rendered
completely unfit for future use.
10.9 Abrasion, heat damage or cuts to the cover may indicate a loss of strength to the load core and
these slings should not be used until evaluated by the manufacturer. At area of damage, cover
should be opened and the core yarns counted and visually inspected.

11.0 - TEST PROCEDURES FOR COMPLETE TWIN-PATH® SLING PRODUCTS
11.1 For proof testing, the pins shall be 1" in diameter or larger.
11.2 Proof tests shall consist of pulling the slings to twice their rated capacity. Slings shall be held at the

TRI-FLEX ® SLING SYSTEM
U.S. Patent #4,240,659; CN Patent #1,082,755; British #2,029,796

This product is a combination of three Tri-Flex® Wire Rope slings wrapped
together helically to form a nine-part finished body sling. After a heavy lift is
finished, the product can be taken apart to form three individual Tri-Flex®
slings for smaller lifting work. This product was developed for construction
projects where there are a few heavy lifts. A superior strength sling because it
has twelve parts of wire rope in the loop for greater strength than traditional
nine-part wire rope slings that have only ten parts of wire rope in the loops.

YOUR SLING AND RIGGING SPECIALIST

GATOR-MAX ® WIRE ROPE SLING
WITH PARALLEL EYES
U.S. Patent #5,561,973 & Patents Pending

This 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 crossover and then they are wrapped with heavy duty material to keep
them in position. This sling was developed to meet conditions
specified by the US Navy and the Wire Rope Technical Board Sling
Manual. Testing has proven it to be the strongest multi-part wire rope sling when attached to small
pins because it has twelve parts of wire rope in the loop in a parallel construction.

Hand-Spliced Slings
YOUR SLING AND RIGGING SPECIALIST

NO. 100 B

The end of a single wire rope is bent back
along the rope to form the eye, and strands
are hand-tucked into the body of the rope in
what is called a tapered and concealed
splice. This splice makes a sling that is easily
pulled through narrow spaces; there are no
rough ends to snag hands. Slings with rope
bodies larger than 1-1/2" diameter are made
only with Burnt End splices in which ends of
strands are left exposed and cut off with a
torch. These may also be cut shorter and
served, for smoothness. All have the same
rated capacity, size for size.

Hand Spliced Eye
The tapered and concealed splice
utilizes tension in the rope body to
secure strands where they are
tucked back into the rope. Needs
no metal sleeve to assure firm
anchoring. When “tapered and
concealed”, ends of strands are
tucked inward and concealed
inside the rope.
WARNING: Hand-spliced slings should not be used in lifts where the sling
may rotate and cause the wire rope to unlay.

Mechanical Splice
Flemish Eye Slings

YOUR SLING AND RIGGING SPECIALIST

NO. 105B
Eyes are formed using the
flemish eye splice. Ends are
secured by pressing a metal
sleeve over the ends of the
strands of the splice. Pull is
directly along the centerline of
rope and eye. Gives most
efficient use of rope capacity and
is economical.

Flemish Eye Splice

Swaging Provides
Positive Grip

In the standard flemish eye
mechanical splice, rope is
separated into two parts – 3
adjacent strands, and 3
adjacent strands and core.
These two parts are then relaid back in opposite directions
to form an eye, and ends are
secured with a pressed metal
sleeve.

This cutaway of a metal
sleeve swaged onto a
splice shows how metal
“flows”
into
valleys
between
strands
to
positively prevent ends
from unlaying when sling
is used within its rated
capacity.

* Rated capacities of basket hitches are based on a minimum diameter of curvature at the point of load contact of 40 times
the rope diameter for slings 1/4" thru 1" diameter and 25 times the rope diameter for slings 1-1/4" diameter and larger.
Inspect before use. Follow OSHA, ANSI B30.9 or Manufacturers Guidelines. Use by untrained
persons is hazardous. Improper use will result in serious injury or death. Do not exceed rated
capacity. This product will fail if damaged, abused, misused, overused or improperly maintained.

Cable-Laid Slings
YOUR SLING AND RIGGING SPECIALIST

These smooth and very flexible slings are made from cut
lengths of cable-laid fabric that is machine formed by
laying six wire ropes in a helical pattern around a core
rope. Flemish eye mechanical splices, secured by pressed
metal sleeves, provide centerline pull at the eyes. More
flexible than same capacity single-part slings.

NO. 108 C

Swaging
Provides
Positive Grip
This cutaway of a metal
sleeve swaged onto a
splice shows how metal
"flows" into valleys
between strands to
positively prevent ends
from unlaying when
sling is used within its
rated capacity.

Flemish Eye Splice
In the standard flemish eye
mechanical splice, rope is
separated into two parts – 3
adjacent strands, and 3
adjacent strands and core.
These two parts are then relaid
back
in
opposite
directions to form an eye, and
ends are secured with a
pressed metal sleeve.

Sling Bodies
Are Made from
7 Individual
Wire Ropes

Ideal for use as basket or choker hitches, where flexibility and ease of
handling are essential and cutting or abrasion is not a critical factor.

DEGREES APPLICABLE

Cable Laid Grommets have six wire
ropes laid helically around a wire rope
core, with ends joined either by a handtucked or a mechanical splice to form an
endless body. Highly flexible, they resist
kinks and are easy to handle. Minimum
circumference of the sling is 96 times the
grommet body diameter.

When a choke is drawn down tight against a
load, or a side pull is exerted resulting in an
angle of less than 120 degrees, an
adjustment must be made for further
reduction of the sling rated capacity.

Basic types of chain slings are dsignated throughout the
industry by the following symbols:
First Symbol (basic type):
S - Single chain sling with master link and hook, or hook at each end.
C - Choker chain sling with master link on each end; no hooks.
D - Double chain sling with standard master link and hooks.
T - Triple chain sling with standard master link and hooks
Q - Quadruple chain sling with master link and hooks.
Second Symbol (type of master link or end link):
O - Oblong master link – Recommended standard for all types.
P - Pear shaped master link – Available on request.
Third Symbol (type of hook):
S - Sling hook
G - Grab hook
F - Foundry hook
L - Latchlok hook
Sling tags are coded with numerals 1 through 4 to reflect number of branches
in sling. Additional coding is defined as follows:
AS - Adjustable sling
ES - Endless single
SAL - Single adjustable loop
AD - Adjustable double

Type TOS

SB - Single Basket
ED - Endless double
DAL - Double adjustable loop
DB - Double basket

HOW TO SELECT & ORDER THE PROPER CHAIN SLING
1. Determine the weight and configuration of the load(s) to be
lifted.

MASTER
OBLONG
LINK

4. Determine the reach required to give the desired angle. The
reach is measured from the upper bearing surface of the
master link to the bearing surface of the lower attachment.
If chain slings are to be used in pairs and are to be matched
for reach, please indicate when ordering.
5. Be sure to specify type, size and reach when ordering chain
slings. For specifications on additional hooks, attachments
and accessories, refer to the following pages.

3. Determine the size of the body chain according to the
working load limits. Be sure to take into consideration the
effect of the required angle.
*Working load limit: The working load limit is the maximum
load in pounds which should ever be applied to chain, even
when chain is new, and when load is uniformly applied in
direct tension to a straight length of chain.

2. Determine the type of chain sling required, according to
weight and configuration. (refer to the following pages)

ANGLE

LOAD

Note: Angle to the load on multiple leg slings will be 60° or
greater as long as the distance between lifting eyes of load
is NOT greater than reach shown on Identification Tag.

Alloy Chain Slings
YOUR SLING AND RIGGING SPECIALIST

CM HERC-ALLOY 800® SINGLE CHAIN SLINGS
A higher strength heat treated alloy steel chain, CM
grade 80 Herc-Alloy 800 chain is primarily used as a
sling component for overhead lifting, but can be used in
rigging and tie down applications where a lighter weight
high strength chain is desirable. Recommended for
overhead lifting by NACM, ANSI, & OSHA.

Before shipment, all CM Herc-Alloy 800 chain slings
undergo a succession of demanding quality control
checks. Every sling is proof tested, registered and
guaranteed for one year to be free from defects in
materials and workmanship. A durable metal tag
attached to the sling permanently identifies the grade,
type, working load limit (at a specific angle of lift) and
registration number of the sling.

CM grade 80 Herc-Alloy 800 chain slings and
attachments are manufactured from special analysis
alloy steel, engineered for a superior combination of
strength, lightness and durability.

Chain slings are used primarily for overhead lifting and
are generally used in conjunction with a crane or some
type of lifting device. Standard sling configurations
consist of chain branches which are affixed on one end
to a master link or ring with some type of attachment,
usually a hook, affixed to the opposite end.

All Herc-Alloy 800 chain and attachments are black
finish and/or color coded orange for easy, permanent
identification. The chain is embossed with the grade
(HA-800) and trace code.

Chain Slings
YOUR SLING AND RIGGING SPECIALIST

CARE, USE AND INSPECTION
The life and strength of CM Herc-Alloy 800 chain slings depends
on proper inspection, maintenance and use. For additional
information, refer to ANSI B30.9 and OSHA 1920.184.

• Mark plainly with paint each link or attachment showing any of
the conditions listed here to indicate rejection; remove from
service until properly repaired.

CARE
Chain requires careful storage and regular maintenance.
• Store chains on an A frame in a clean, dry place.
• To avoid corrosion, oil chaines before prolonged storage.
• Do not heat CM Herc-Alloy 800 chain; this will alter its thermal
treatment
• Do not plate or change surface finish of chain. Contact CM
for special requirements.

WEAR ALLOWANCES OF CM HERC-ALLOY 800 CHAIN
Measure cross section at link ends to determine wear. If chain
is worn to less than the minimum allowable thickness, remove
from service.

(inches)
Link Ends (inches)*

USE
To protect both operators and materials, observe these
precautions when using chain slings:
• Before use, inspect chain and attachments following the
instructions under "Inspection" below.
• Do not exceed working load limit. Any of the factors listed
here can reduce the load the chain will hold:
• Acceleration in rate of load to application – can produce
dangerous overloading.
• Variation in the angle of the load to the sling – as the
angle decreases, the working load of the sling will
increase.
• Twisting, knotting or kinking – subjects links to unusual
loading, decreasing the working load of the sling.
• Use for purposes other than those for which slings are
intended – can reduce the working load of the sling.
• Free chain of all twists, knots and kinks.
• Center load in hook(s); hook latches must not support load.
• Avoid sudden jerks when lifting and lowering.
• Balance all loads; avoid tipping of loads.
• Use pads around sharp corners.
• Do not drop load on chains.
• Match the size and working load limit of attachments such as
hooks or rings to the size and working load limit of the chain.
• For overhead lifting, use only alloy chain and attachments
(grade 80).

It is important both to inspect chain slings regularly and to keep
a record of all chain inspections. Follow this guide for such an
inspection system.
• Before inspecting, clean chains with a non-acid/non-causic
solvent so that marks, nicks, wear and other defects are
visible.
• Inspect each link for these conditions:
• Twists or bends.
• Nicks or gouges.
• Excessive wear at bearing points.
• Stretch.
• Distorted or damaged master links, coupling links or
attachments, especially spread in throat opening of hooks.

chain is at temperature shown in first column.
chain is used at room temperature after having
been heated to temperatures shown in first column.

CERTIFICATE OF TEST AND IDENTIFICATION
The identification tag found on the master coupling link of each
chain sling contains this information:
•

Safety note: A quad branch
chain sling usually does not
sustain loads with even
distribution to its four
branches, especially when
loads are of rigid structure.
Therefore,
maximum
working load limits are set
at the same values as for
triple branch chain slings of
equal quality and size and
used with branches at the
same angle of inclination.

Safety note: A quad branch
chain sling usually does not
sustain loads with even
distribution to its four
branches, especially when
loads are of rigid structure.
Therefore,
maximum
working load limits are set at
the same values as for triple
branch chain slings of equal
quality and size and used
with branches at the same
angle of inclination.

YOUR SLING AND RIGGING SPECIALIST

LOAD BINDER WARNINGS AND APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
LOAD BINDER WARNINGS AND
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS - LEVER TYPE LOAD BINDERS
• Hook load binder to chain so you
can operate it while standing on the
ground. Position load binder so its
handle can be pulled downward to
tighten chain (see photo). Be aware
of ice, snow rain, oil, etc. that can
affect your footing. Make certain
your footing is secure.
• The Crosby Group, Inc. specifically
recommends AGAINST the use of a
handle extender (cheater pipe). If sufficient leverage cannot
be obtained using the lever type load binder by itself, a
ratchet type binder should be used.
• If the above recommendation is disregarded and a cheater
pipe is used, it must closely fit the handle and must slide
down the handle until the handle projections are contacted.
The pipe should be secured to the handle, for example, by a
pin, so that the pipe cannot fly off the handle if you lose
control and let go. The increased leverage, by using a
cheater pipe, can cause deformation and failure of the chain
and load binder.
• During and after tightening chain, check load binder handle
position. Be sure it is in the locked position and that its
bottom side touches the chain link.
• Chain tension may decrease due to load shifting during
transport. To be sure the load binder remains in proper
position: Secure handle to chain by wrapping the loose end
of chain around the handle and the tight chain, or tie handle
to chain with soft wire.
• When releasing load binder, remember there is a great deal
of energy in the stretched chain. This will cause the load
binder handle to move very quickly with great force when it
is unlatched. Move handle with caution. It may whip –
Keep body clear.
• Never use a cheater pipe or handle extender to release
handle. Use a steel bar and pry under the handle and stay
out of the path of handle as it moves upward.
• If you release the handle by hand, use an open hand under
the handle and push upward. Do not close your hand
around the handle. Always keep yourself out of the path
of the moving handle.

WARNING
• Failure to use this load binder properly may result in
serious injury or even death
• Do not operate load binder while standIng on the
load.
• Move handle with caution. It may whip – Keep body
clear.
• Keep yourself out of the path of the moving handle.
• You must be familiar with state and federal
regulations regarding size and number of chain
systems required for securing loads on trucks.
• Always consider the safety of nearby workers as well
as yourself when using load binder.
• While under tension, load binder must not bear
against any object.
• Do not thow these instructions away. Keep them
close at hand and share them with any others who
use this load binder.

LEVER WALKING TYPE

INSTRUCTIONS - RATCHET LOAD BINDERS
• Position ratchet binder so it can be operated from the ground.
• Make sure your footing is secure.

Mechanical Advantage

MAINTENANCE OF ALL LOAD BINDERS

Lever Type Binder = 25 : 1
Ratchet Type Binder = 50 : 1

• Routinely check load binders for wear, bending, cracks,
nicks, or gouges. If bending or cracks are present – Do
not use load binder.
• Routinely lubricate pivot and swivel points of Lever Binders,
and pawl part and screw threads of Ratchet Binders to
extend product life and reduce friction wear.

Example: 100 pounds of effort
applied to the binder results in
the following force on the binder.
Lever Type:
2500 (100 lbs. x 25) lbs. of force

5.2 - MECHANICAL CONSIDERATIONS
5.2.1

Determine weight of the load. The weight of the load shall be within the rated capacity of
the sling.

5.2.2

Select the proper sling having suitable characteristics for the type of load, hitch and
environment.

5.2.3

Slings shall not be loaded in excess of the rated capacity. Consideration should be given
to the angle of lift (sling-to-load angle), which affects rated capacity.

5.2.4

Slings with fittings which are used in a choker hitch shall be of sufficient length to assure
that the choking action is on the webbing, and never on the other fitting.

5.2.5

Slings used in a basket hitch shall have the load balanced to prevent slippage.

5.2.6

The opening in fittings shall be the proper shape and size to insure that the fitting will seat
properly in the hook or other attachments.

5.2.7

Slings shall always be protected from being cut by sharp corners, sharp edges, protrusions
or abrasive surfaces.

5.2.8

Slings shall not be dragged on the floor or over an abrasive surface.

5.2.9

Slings shall not be twisted or tied into knots, or joined by knotting.

5.2.10 Slings shall not be pulled from under loads when the load is resting on the sling.
5.2.11 Do not drop slings equipped with metal fittings.
5.2.12 Slings that appear to be damaged shall not be used unless inspected and accepted as
usable under Section 5.2.
5.2.13 The sling shall be hitched in a manner providing control of the load.
5.2.14 Portions of the human body should be kept from between the sling and the load, and from
between the sling and the crane hook or hoist hook.
5.2.15 Personnel should stand clear of the suspended load.
5.2.16 Personnel shall not ride the sling.
5.2.17 Shock loading should be avoided.
5.2.18 Twisting the legs (branches) shall be avoided.
5.2.19 Load applied to the hook should be centered in the base (bowl) of hook to prevent point
loading on the hook.
5.2.20 During lifting, with or without the load, personnel shall be alert for possible snagging.
5.2.21 The slings' legs (branches) should contain or support the load from the sides above the
center of gravity when using a basket hitch.
5.2.22 Slings shall be long enough so that the rated load (rated capacity) is adequate when the
angle of the legs (branches) is taken into consideration.

5.3 - ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
5.3.1

Slings should be stored in a cool, dry and dark place, and should not be exposed to
sunlight, to prevent mechanical or chemical damage when not in use.

5.3.2

Chemically active environments can affect the strength of synthetic web slings in varying
degrees ranging from none to total degradation. The sling manufacturer should be
consulted before slings are used in chemically active environments.
a. ACIDS
1. Nylon is subject to degradation in acids, ranging from none to total degradation.
2. Polyester is resistant to many acids, but is subject to degradation, ranging from none
to moderate in some acids.
3. Each application shall be evaluated, taking into consideration the following:
i
Type of Acid
ii Exposure to conditions
iii Concentration
iv Temperature
b. ALKALIS
1. Polyester is subject to degradation in alkalis, ranging from none to total degradation.
2. Nylon is resistant to many alkalis, but is subject to degradation ranging from none to
moderate in some alkalis.
3. Each application shall be evaluated, taking into consideration the following:
i
Type of Alkali
ii. Exposure to conditions
iii Concentration
iv Temperature

5.3.3

Nylon and polyester slings shall not be used at temperatures in excess of 180°F (85°C),
however, they may be used in temperatures as low as -40°F (-40°C).

5.3.4

Slings incorporating aluminum fittings shall not be used where fumes, vapors, sprays,
mists or liquids of alkalis and/or acids are present.

5.3.5

Environments in which synthetic webbing slings are continuously exposed to ultra-violet
light can affect the strength of synthetic webbing slings in varying degrees ranging from
slight to total degradation.
a. Factors which affect the degree of strength loss are:
1. Length of time of continuous exposure

2. Inspect slings weekly or more often depending on frequency of sling use
c. Visual indications of ultra-violet degradation are:
1. Bleaching out of sling color
2. Increased stiffness of sling material
3. Surface abrasion in areas not normally in contact with the load.
d. Proof-Testing – Slings used in environments where they are subject to continuous
exposure to ultra-violet light should be proof-tested to two times rated capacity annually,
or more frequently depending on severity of exposure.

Wire Mesh Slings

LIKE
A GIANT
HAND...

STRONG, GENTLE GRIP – SAFE, SURE BALANCE MAKES

GRIPPER

WOVEN
WIRE

SLINGS

BEST FOR FAST, SAFE, EASY LIFTS
Safer than wire rope, gentle as canvas, flexible as manila...that's only a part of the story of the Gripper Sling –
the ultimate in versatile materials handling tools. Like a giant hand, Gripper Slings grasp and hold the load in a
strong, gentle grip when used in a choke hitch... safely and gently cradle it on a broad, flat surface in a basket
hitch.
Whatever the size or shape of the load you handle – rounds, flats, hexes or squares--Gripper Slings can reduce
load damage in production or shipping, provide greater safety for load and operator, cut rigging and unhitching
time and eliminate the need for two-legged slings. Here's how –
NO LOAD DAMAGE – The unique woven wire construction of Gripper Slings consists of a series of smooth,
spiral wires joined together across the body of the sling. This gives the sling complete flexibility, enabling it to
bend easily around even irregularly shaped loads and eliminating the danger of gouging or marring edges of the
load members. For turned or ground surfaces, PVS or Neoprene-covered slings assure extremely delicate
handling.
SAFE – The wide bearing surface of the Gripper Sling provides better load balance and gripping power...less
crushing effect when handling hollow tubing or similar parts. Its instant gripping action means there's no slipping
of shifting when load is applied. All metal construction means there's no core to rot, nothing to tear suddenly.
Gripper Slings will not whip, kink or tangle, and there are no loose strands to snag load or operator. As for
rigging and hitching, a single man can easily do the job.
STRONG – Thousands of spiral wire loops in a transverse construction give Gripper Slings exceptionally long
life. Should a single wire break, the slack is absorbed by the rest of the sling. Gripper Slings are pretested and
guaranteed to meet load specifications. Standard lengths and widths with capacities up to 100,000 lbs. are
available. Special sizes and corrosion resistant alloys available on request.

Inspect before use. Follow OSHA, ANSI B30.9 or Manufacturers Guidelines. Use by untrained
persons is hazardous. Improper use will result in serious injury or death. Do not exceed rated
capacity. This product will fail if damaged, abused, misused, overused or improperly maintained.

HOW TO SELECT PROPER SLING WIDTH
First, determine the hitch you will use for the guage slected. Then read down the column under the selected hitch
and guage to the load weight you wish to lift. Then read across to the first column at left to find sling width
required. Example: You wish to use a G-43 sling in a choke hitch to lift 6,400 poiunds. Sling width required is 8".

USAGE / MAINTENANCE GUIDE
2-in-1® DOUBLE BRAIDED ROPE
Samson 2-IN1® Double Braided Rope is
actually two ropes in one. First the
braided core is constructed. A second
rope is then braided over it to form the
cover. You then have two ropes
performing as a single integrated
strength member. By altering the
construction of the core and/or cover, it
is possible to engineer a rope with
specific performance characteristics.
Braided Core Rope

Parallay® Design

is a twisting and braiding
process that orients all the
fibers parallel to the axis of
the rope.
Braided Cover Rope
Samson Product Identification
Tracer
For Example:
STABLE BRAID
•Balanced construction – core and
cover share the load equally
NYSTRON
•Fiber selection – different fiber
combinations in the core and cover
to meet specific performance
requirements
SPECTRON II
• Imbalanced construction – core and
cover have different load sharing
capabilities.
• Coatings may be applied to selected
sections or to continuous long
lengths.

GUIDELINES FOR THE USE
OF SAMSON WINCH LINES

Do not attach end of line to drum by using core only.

ROPE STRENGTH
Note carefully the quoted breaking strengths of the various
Samson Braid sizes. These are approximate average breaking
strengths and are subject to a plus or minus 5% testing
tolerance. Advertised breaking strengths are determined by the
standard cordage testing and do not cover conditions such as
sustained loads or shock loading. These strengths are attained
under laboratory conditions. Remember also, that this is a
breaking strength--not a recommended working load capacity.
(See next paragraph for working load factors.)

ASSIGNED WORKING LOAD FACTORS
Will vary in accordance with varying safety practices and policies
of different utilities and industrial users. However, our
recommendation, and one that is fairly well accepted in the
industry, is a minimum 5:1 working load factor. Thus, your
maximum work load should be approximately 20% of the quoted
breaking strength. This factor will provide greater safety and
extended service life of the winch line. A low working load factor
is not only dangerous, but poor economy as it overworks the
fibers and shortens the life of the line.

DETERMINING LENGTH OF ROPE THAT CAN BE
PUT ON A WINCH
The formula for rope capacity on a winch drum is:
Length to be stored = A(B2 - C2)
15.3 x dia of rope 2
A, B, C, and diameter are in inches.

DIELECTRIC PROPERTIES
Samson Stable Braid, Nystron, and Spectron II have been
described as a "non-conductor". It is our hope that it is never
turned over to a line crew on these terms. It is important to note
that most quoted Dielectric Properties are results obtained from
new, clean rope, and hold true only under such ideal conditions.
Dirt, grease, other foriegn matter and moisture, including
humidity, will all alter the non-conductivity/conductivity of this or
any other synthetic rope or material.

Flange
Diameter

END-FOR-ENDING

SHARP CUTTING EDGES

It is recommended that every winch line be rotated End-forEnd
on a periodic basis. This will vary high stress and wear point and
extend useful life. Recommended period is six (6) months, at
which time visual inspection and washing can be programmed.

Samson winch lines should not be exposed to sharp edges and
surface such as metal burrs on Winch Drums, sheaves,
shackles, thimbles, wire slings, etc. Samson Winch Lines are
made from synthetic fibers, and as such, can be cut and
damaged by sharp edges. When installing winch lines on old
truck units, great care must be exercised to assure that the rope
is not coming in contact with hardware that has been scored and
chewed by previously used wire lines. Sheaves, shackles,
thimbles, etc. should, in most cases, be replaced. Other metal
surfaces should be carefully examined and dressed if necessary.

WINDING ROPE ON WINCH DRUM
The first layer (wrap) around winch drum should be put on
closely and tightly. Initial winding tension (load) should be
approximately 50 pounds. This will prevent subsequent wraps
from slipping down between turns when tension is applied.
Samson Winch Lines will tend to self-level themselves.
IMPORTANT: Recommend at least four wraps always be left on
winch drum.

ATTACHING LINE TO WINCH DRUM
There are various methods of attaching a winch line to a winch
drum: the use of a wedge or plug and set screw in the main body
of the drum, or "U" bolt through the side of the flange. Another
method involves welding a round plug to the winch drum. The
soft eye at the bitter end of the winch line is placed over the plug
and held in place with a flat keeper which is screwed in flush with
the top of the plug. Be sure the attachment method does not
have a sharp edge that will cut the line under load. If possible, it
is advisable to have an eye splice in both ends of the Winch Line
so that it can be reversed in the event of damage to one end.
This is not always possible, depending on the method of
attachment to the winch drum, and whether or not a closed
thimble is spliced into the eye. If an eye is not used at the drum
end, then this end should be tightly whipped with a strong twine.
Important: The end connection is not designed to carry any load,
so at least four wraps should always be kept on the drum.

ABRASION PROTECTION OF LINE
Stable Braid, Nyston, and Spectron II, with their outer jacket of
Polyester, have a relatively high degree of resistance to abrasion
and fusing. However, all synthetics are subject to fusing if
subjected to enough friction and heat, and therefore such
practices as surging on a Gypsy head winch, hard rendering
around poles or over cross-arms, etc. should be avoided
whenever possible.

THE USE OF SLINGS WITH A WINCH LINE

"DOUBLE BLOCK" SYSTEM

The winch line itself should not be used as a choker to pick up a
pole or other objects. The hook attached on the end of the wind
line can cut deeply into the rope itself. We recommend a
separate line, sling or strap be used as the choker and not the
basic winch line itself.

For handling heavy loads (up to 14,880 lbs. – pad-mounted
transformers, etc.) using 1" diameter Stable Braid winch lines,
without exceeding R.W.L. of rope (7,440 lbs.), a Double Block
System is recommended.
The system avoids the use of 1-1/4" diameter Stable Braid,
which limits capacity of winch drum and/or sheave-size.

BOOM SHEAVE RECOMMENDATIONS
To assure maximum efficiency and safety, the boom sheave
diameter should be no less than eight (8) times the rope
diameter. The sheave groove diameter should be no less than
10% greater than the rope diameter, and the groove should be
round in shape – not V-shaped.

max. capacity: ie., Rope
cannot be overloaded –
beyond rope RWL
Boom drilled for eye-bolt
(permanently installed) –
to accomodate standard
winch-line hook – as
needed.

EYE SPLICING
Eye splices at the end of winch lines, (if not put in at the factory)
should be done in strict accordance with the steps and
procedures as outlined in the Samson Splicing Manual under
"Standard Eye Splice." This splice can be easily learned and
executed by line crews and shop personnel. Assistance in
splicing instruction is available through Hanes Supply. Training
Splicing Kits, manuals, and tools can be ordered through Hanes
Supply.

Removable Nylite "Snatch-Block" –
stored in truck, for quick installation
and removal – as needed.

Note: While the 2-leg
system does allow use
of 1" dia. rope (vs 1-1/4"
dia.) – it does require a
greater length and
results in slower lifting
speeds.

NOTE: Unless boom is equipped with "pole-grabber" claws –
this system does not work well – when handling and setting
poles – as pole can't be snubbed tightly against jaws at end of
boom.

The Standard Eye Splice can't be pulled out under tension; it
can, however, be pulled out by hand when in a relaxed state. To
prevent such tampering, it is recommended that stich locking or
a tight seizing be applied to the base or throat of the splice.
When splicing used rope, be sure to refer to the "Special Tips for
Splicing Used Rope" in the Splicing Manual.

The result is that 1" diameter Stable Braid can be used – with a
single leg, for most normal lifting operations – (up to 7,440 lbs.)
– and for heavy lifts up to 14,880 lbs.) using the double leg
system – in both cases, observing approximate recommended
work loads.

KNOTS

Prolonged exposure of synthetic ropes to Ultraviolet Radiation of
sunlight causes varying degrees of strength degradation. Some
concern has been created by various reports published on this
subject (and by erroneous interpretations drawn from these
reports).

ULTRAVIOLET – STRENGTH DEGRADATION

Splicing is, by far, the strongest and most efficient means of
attachment. Knots should never be tied in a winch line if it can in
any way be avoided, as knots can reduce the strength of any
rope (or wire) as much as 50%. Also, avoid sharp bends in the
line where possible as this will also greatly reduce strength.

Polyester fibers are the least affected by ultraviolet exposure,
and resulting strength degradation of exposed fibers is
negligible.

STITCH LOCKING EYE SPLICES
Stitch locking may prove advantageous on some splices to
prevent no-load opening due to mishandling.

Nylon is more susceptible to strength loss due to ultraviolet rays;
but, with both fibers, the degree of susceptibility to ultraviolet
damage is dependent upon the type of fiber, and the various
ultraviolet inhibitors with which they are treated by the fiber
manufacturer.
The important point to note here is that ultraviolet rays have low
penetration in synthetic fibers, thus it is only the outer surface
fibers that are affected.

Material required – about one (1) fid length of Nylon Whipping
Twine approximately the same size as the strands in the size
rope you are stitch locking. The same strands cut from the rope
you are stitch locking may also be used, but whipping twine is
preferable. Instructions are in the Samson Splicing Manual.

HEADQUARTERS: 55

James E. Casey Drive • Buffalo, NY 14206

HARMFUL CHEMICALS
Certain chemicals will break down synthetic fibers. To be
avoided are sulfuric acids, alkalies, or chlorinate hydrocarbons
over 160°F; strong cleaning agents or bleaches may be harmful.

CLEANING

loading... in order to prolong the life of the line and reduce
premature down grading. If there is reason to believe that a line
has been shock loaded above its recommended working load, it
should be logged; and if a number of these occur, the line should
be rotated and inspected.

Sometimes utilities have adopted the very good practice of
carrying at all times, a spare (clean and dry) winch line enclosed
in a plastic bag, enabling crews in the field to quickly replace a
damaged, soiled or wet winch line. Samson winch lines can be
washed in a mild detergent and warm water, rinsed and air-dried.
The polyester fibers themselves actually absorb only a negligible
amount of water, but water trapped between the fibers should be
squeezed out (by placing the line under tension) and air-dried.

VISUAL INSPECTION
The load-bearing capacity of Samson Stable Braid and Nystron
Ropes are divided equally between the inner core and the outer
cover – thus, despite damage to the outer cover strands, you
have an intact inner core capable of supporting approximately
50% of the applied load... an important reserve safety factor.
Spectron II has 100% of its load bearing capacity accomplished
by the core.

SHOCK LOADING
Shock loading of any line – synthetic, manila, or wire – produces
a drastically different set of physical properties and results as
compared with normal loading. Shock loading, most simply
described, is a "jerking" or "snatching" or a line. Or, a very
sudden change in tension – from a state of relaxation or low load
to one of high load. This results in accelerated wearing.

DISCARD POINT
Continued use and normal wear in the line gradually diminishes
the ultimate bearing strength and lowers the factor of safety. In
determining the proper discard time of Samson winch lines, the
following guides are suggested:
a. If as many as 1/2 of the cover strands are cut at a given
point, this damaged section should be cut out. If within 10 feet
of the eye, put in a new eye splice. If over 10 feet, rejoin the
rope with a Standard End-for-End Splice per the Splice
Manual. The rope can then be put back into normal operation.
A few damaged strands spaced out along the rope at intervals
is no real cause for immediate concern, but should be watched
and periodically examined.

A typical shock load on a winch line occurs when an object is
lifted vertically with a sudden jerk, or when this load is suddenly
dropped. A 5,000 pound load, under these conditions, may then
"weigh" 30,000 pounds – and break a winch line rated in this
strength range.
A 4" sudden drop – as off a platform – can actually double the
load. Similarly, an over-wrap "falling off" the winch drum can
result in a 50% shock load.
Assume that you have seven identical ropes – each with a
30,000 lb. breaking strength – and you work these ropes daily –
each rope lifting a different load, as below – for example, in a
winch line application:

b. If the individual cover strands have been worn down after
extended use to within 50% of their original bulk over an
extended area of the line, then the line should be discarded (or
assigned to a less critical task). This can best be determined
by an examination and comparison of the bulk of an individual
strand which is exposed and subject to wear with the same
strand where it crosses under other strands and is protected
(and therefore is full size).
c. Another guide for determining discard time is when the rope
has a residual strength of 50% of its original new rope
strength. This can be determined through laboratory tensile
strength break tests. This can be done by Hanes Supply. If
utilities wish to perform their own tests, they should contact
Hanes Supply to coordinate testing procedure, methods and
apparatus. Hanes Supply has instructions on technical
procedures for testing braided synthetic ropes.

TRAINING
A Preventative Maintenance and Safety Program in the use of
winch lines is strongly recommended. Hanes Supply will assist
in this.

*Relative values only
This illustration clearly shows the higher the Working Load
Factor the greater the Service Life, and the lower the
replacement factor. Thus, a Working Load Factor also related
directly as an "Economy Factor."

Samson winch lines, used and cared for properly, will render
years of efficient, economical, and trouble-free service.
Winch line replacements, either in cut lengths or 600 ft. spools
are available through Hanes Supply.

Your may turn this around and look at it another way: If you're
always lifting the same weight; then, the stronger the rope (and
higher the Working Load Factor) – the longer the rope will last.

Samson Ocean Systems guarantees its products against
manufacturing defects, but can't be held responsible for failure
or accident due to improper use or failure to observe prescribed
procedures for usage, as set forth above. Write to Samson for
Guidelines on Care, Usage & Inspection of Rope.

FATIGUE
Synthetic fibers have a "memory." They function similar to metal
(wire) in that they remember and retain the effects of being
overloaded and shock loaded. This is an important reason to
stress winch line procedures which reduce danger of shock

Hilman Rollers
YOUR SLING AND RIGGING SPECIALIST

GUIDELINES FOR SELECTING THE PROPER MODEL
1. How much does the load weigh?
2. How many contact points does the load have? The Hilman rollers are rated in metric tons. Divide the number of
contact points into the total load to determine the capacity of individual rollers. Determine if the load is equally
distributed or unbalanced. If unbalanced, some rollers may carry more load and some less.
3. What is the rolling surface and its condition? The rolling surface should be hard and level, and free of debris.
Where the surface is not hard such as asphalt or dirt, a track or steel plate can be used as the rolling surface.
If the surface is not level, there must be a hold-back system on the load to brake and control it. If the floor is
composed of a delicate surface, then specify Nyton rollers which are coated to soften the roller contact.
4. Are there turns involved or is it a straight line move? If there are turns, rollers with swivels or swivels with a
locking top are suggested. If no turns, then a rigid style top is fine.
Rollers are available in sizes ranging from 1/2 to 3,000 tons. Riggers kits which consist of four rollers, steering
handles and various tops are available if moving loads with rollers is a common task. The kit comes complete with
a locking steel box. A riggers set is the same as a kit without the steel box.

Lifting Attachments
YOUR SLING AND RIGGING SPECIALIST

LIFTER VS SPREADER – THE DIFFERENCE
Lifting beams are used when available headroom is not sufficient for top rigging. Lifting
beams must be designed structurally larger than spreader beams to adequately handle
load stress. Spreader beams with top rigging are smaller because most load stress is
absorbed by the rigging. This differentiation is critical in order to properly specify the
equipment required. Make sure you know the difference.

DO NOT EXCEED RATED CAPACITY
Can fail if damaged, misused or overloaded. Inspect before use. Use only if trained.

1.

Refer to Table I following these instructions. Turn back
specified amount of rope from thimble or loop. Apply first
clip one base width from dead end of rope. Apply U-Bolt
over dead end of wire rope – live end rests in saddle.
Tighten nuts evenly, alternate from one nut to the other
until reaching the recommended torque.

2.

When two clips are required, apply the second clip as near
the loop or thimble as possible. Tighten nuts evenly,
alternating until reaching the recommended torque. When
more than two clips are required, apply the second clip as
near the loop or thimble as possible, turn nuts on second
clip firmly, but do not tighten. Proceed to Step 3.

3.

G-450
(Red-U-Bolt)

When three or more clips are required, space additional
clips equally between first two – take up rope slack –
tighten nuts on each U-Bolt evenly, alternating from one
nut to the other until reaching recommended torque.

WARNING

IMPORTANT

Apply first load to test the assembly. This load should be of
equal or greater weight than loads expected in use. Next,
check and retighten nuts to recommended torque. In
accordance with good rigging and maintenance practices,
the wire rope end termination should be inspected
periodically for wear, abuse, and general adequacy.

• Failure to read, understand, and follow these
instructions may cause death or serious injury.
• Read and understand these instructions before
using clips.
• Prepare wire rope end termination only as
instructed.
• Do not use with plastic coated wire rope.
• Apply first load to test the assembly. This load
should be of equal or greater weight than loads
expected in use. Next, check and re-tighten nuts to
recommended torque. (See Table I, this page).

TABLE I

Efficiency ratings for wire rope end terminations are based
upon the catalog breaking strength of wire rope. The
efficiency rating of a properly prepared loop or thimble –
eye termination for clip sizes 1/8" through 7/8" is 80%, and
for sizes 1" through 3-1/2" is 90%.
The number of clips shown (see Table I) is based upon
using RRL or RLL wire rope, 6 x 19 or 6 x 37 Class, FC or
IWRC; IPS or XIP. If Seale construction or similar large
outer wire type construction in the 6 x 19 Class is to be
used for sizes 1" and larger, add one additional clip. If a
pulley (sheave) is used for turning back the wire rope, add
one additional clip.
The number of clips shown also applies to rotationresistant RRL wire rope, 8 x 19 Class, IPS, XIP, sizes 11/2" and smaller; and to rotation-resistant RRL wire rope,
19 x 7 Class IPS, XIP, sizes 1-3/4" and smaller.
For elevator, personnel hoist, and scaffold applications,
refer to ANSI A17.1 and ANSI A10.4. These standards do
not recommend U-Bolt style wire rope clip terminations.
The style wire rope termination used for any application is
the obligation of the user.

"Synthetic Sling Saver" Shackle
YOUR SLING AND RIGGING SPECIALIST

SLING SAVER SHACKLES INCREASE SLING LIFE
S-252

S-253

The Crosby "Synthetic Sling Saver" Shackle, designed for Round or Flat
Synthetic Slings, has the following features:
• Eliminates "bunching" effect caused by traditional shackles.
• Reduces sling tendency to slide.
Increased radius of bow gives wider sling bearing surface resulting in an
increased area for load distribution, thus:
• Increases Synthetic Sling efficiency by at least 15% as compared to a
standard anchor or chain shackle bow.
• Allowing better load distribution on internal fibers.
Both a Screw Pin and Bolt, nut and cotter pin configuration.
• Bolt (Pin) has a large diameter that provides better load distribution.
Each shackle has a Product Identification Code (PIC) for material
traceability along with a Working Load Limit and the name Crosby forged
into it.
• Available in sizes from 3-1/4 tons (1") to 50 tons (6").
• All Alloy construction.
• Design Factor of 5 to 1.
• Fatigue rated to 20,000 cycles at 1-1/2 times the Working Load Limit.

Synthetic Sling Hook
YOUR SLING AND RIGGING SPECIALIST

WEB SLING HOOK
The Web Sling hook, originally designed for 2-Ply Web slings, can also be used
with Round Slings as long as the Working Load Limit ratings are compatible.
The new hook incorporates the following features:
9 Eye is desigend with a wide beam surface which:
• Eliminates bunching effects
• Reduces sling tendency to slide.
• Allows a better load distribution on internal fibers.
9 Each hook has a Product Identification Code (PIC) for material
traceability along with a working load limit.
9 Hooks available in sizes 1-1/2 (1"), 3 (2"), and 5 (3") tons.
9 All alloy construction.
9 Design factor of 5 to 1.
9 Fatigue rated to 20,000 cycles at 1-1/2 times the Working Load Limit.

WARNING

WARNINGS AND APPLICATION
INSTRUCTIONS

S-320N

S-322

Important Safety Information –
Read and Follow
• A visual periodic inspection for cracks, nicks, wear,
gouges and deformation as part of a comprehensive
documented inspection program, should be conducted by
trained personnel in compliance with the schedule in ANSI
B30.10.
• For hooks used in frequent load cycles or pulsating loads,
the hook and threads should be periodically inspected by
Magnetic Particle or Dye Penetrant. (Note: Some
disassembly may be required.)
• Never use a hook whose throat opening has been
increased, or whose tip has been bent more than 10
degrees out of plane from the hook body, or is in any other
way distorted or bent. Note: A latch will not work
properly on a hook with a bent or worn tip.
• Never use a hook that is worn beyond the limits shown in
Figure 1.
• Remove from service any hook with a crack, nick, or
gouge. Hooks with a crack, nick or gouge shall be repaired
by grinding lengthwise, following the contour of the hook,
provided that the reduced dimension is within the limits
shown in Figure 1.
• Never repair, alter, rework, or reshape a hook by welding,
heating, burning, or bending.
• Never side load, back load, or tip load a hook. (See Figure
2)
• Eye hooks, shank hooks and swivel hooks are designed to
be used with wire rope or chain. Efficiency of assembly
may be reduced when used with synthetic material.
• Do not swivel the S-322 swivel hook while it is supporting
a load.
• The use of a latch may be mandatory by regulations or
safety codes; e.g., OSHA, MSHA, ANSI/ASME B30,
Insurance, etc.
• Always make sure the hook supports the load. (See Figure
3) The latch must never support the load. (See Figure 4)
• When placing two (2) sling legs in hook, make sure the
angle from the vertical to the outermost leg is not greater
than 45 degrees, and the included angle between the legs
does not exceed 90 degrees.* (See Figure 5)
• See ANSI/ASME B30.10 "Hooks" for additional
information.

*For two legged slings with angles greater than 90°, use an intermediate
link such as a master link or bolt type shackle to collect the legs of the
slings. The intermediate link can then be placed over the hook to provide
an in-line load on the hook. This approach must also be used when using
slings with three or more legs.

hoisting by cranes or derricks. A 319, 320 or
322 hook with a PL Latch attached (when
secured with the bolt, nut and pin) may be
used for lifting personnel.
• Threads may corrode and/or strip and drop
the load.
• Hook must always support the load. The
load must never be supported by the latch.
• Never apply more force than the hook's
assigned Working Load Limit (WLL) rating.

Hoist Hooks
YOUR SLING AND RIGGING SPECIALIST

• Hoist hooks incorporate markings forged into the product which address two (2) QUIC-CHECK®
features.
• Deformation Indicators – Two strategically placed marks, one just below the shank or eye and the
other on the hook up, which allow for a QUIC-CHECK® measurement to determine if the throat
opening has changed, thus indicating abuse or overload.
• To check, use a measuring device (i.e. tape measure) to measure the distance between the
marks. The marks should align to either an inch or half-inch increment on the measuring device.
If the measurement does not meet this criteria, the hook should be inspected further for possible
damage.
• Angle Indicators – Indicates the maximum included angle which is allowed between two (2) sling
legs in the hook. These indicators also provide the opportunity to approximate other included
angles between two sling legs.

Sling and Hoist Hooks
YOUR SLING AND RIGGING SPECIALIST

SEE APPLICATION AND
WARNING INFORMATION
• Hoist hooks incorporate markings forged into the product which address two (2) QUICCHECK® features.
• Deformation Indicators – Two strategically placed marks, one just below the shank or
eye and the other on the hook up, which allow for a QUIC-CHECK® measurement to
determine if the throat opening has changed, thus indicating abuse or overload.
• To check, use a measuring device (i.e. tape measure) to measure the distance
between the marks. The marks should align to either an inch or half-inch increment
on the measuring device. If the measurement does not meet this criteria, the hook
should be inspected further for possible damage.
• Angle Indicators – Indicates the maximum included angle which is allowed between
two (2) sling legs in the hook. These indicators also provide the opportunity to
approimate other included angles between two sling legs.

Options: Stainless Steel; Other Alloys;

NO.

Maximum working loads have been
established with a safety factor of 5:1 using
the maximum pin diameter, the resulting net
area of the eye at the pin hole, and the
expected ultimate tensile strength of C-1035
steel.
The maximum tap size (U dimension) shown
in Table I is for reference purposes only. It
should be used only to determine the largest
tap diameter the clevis can accommodate
without considering the pin diameter. Use
Table II to select the proper combination of tap
size and pin diameter for any given size of
clevis.

Some combinations of tap size and pin
diameter shown will not develop the maximum
working load of the clevis shown in Table I.
Selection of the rod and pin, the material from
which both are made, as well as the clevis
size adequate to meet the required design
load is the responsibility of the purchaser or
user. Load imposed upon the clevis should not
exceed the maximum working load values
shown in Table I.

HEADQUARTERS: 55

DIAMETER OF TAP – Inches

If the pin is made from steel with physical
properties lower in value than the steel used
for the rod, the pin may not develop the
strength of the rod in either shear or bending;
requiring a larger diameter pin.

TABLE II
DIAMETER OF PIN – Inches

Clevis sizes in Table II for any given tap size
and pin diameter combination are based upon
the net area of the eye at the pin hole being
equal to or greater than 125% of the net area
at the minor diameter of a round rod without
upset ends, threaded Unified National Coarse
Series.
For any combination of tap size and pin
diameter shown, the pin in double shear will
develop the strength of the rod if both the rod
and pin are made from steel having the same
physical properties. The pin must be
investigated for bending, however; and if
inadequate, a larger diameter pin selected.
Pins supplied with clevises by Cleveland City
Forge are made from steel having a minimum
ultimate tensile strength of 58,000 pounds per
square inch, unless otherwise specified.

grinding until surfaces are smooth. Do not reduce original
dimension more than 10%. Do not repair by welding.
Inspect permanent assemblies annually, or more often in
severe operating conditions.
Assembly Safety
Use only with standard 6 to 8 strand wire rope of designated
size. For intermediate size rope, use next larger size socket.
For example: When using 9/16" diameter wire rope use a 5/8"
size Wedge Socket Assembly. WElding of the tail on the
standard wire rope is not recommended. The tail length of the
dead end should be a minimum of 6 rope diameters but not
less than 6". (See Figure 1)
To use with Rotation Resistant wire rope (special wire rope
constructions with 8 or more outer strands) ensure that the
dead end is welded, brazed or seized before inserting the
wire rope into the wedge socket to prevent core slippage or
loss of rope lay. The tail length of the dead end should be a
minimum of 20 rope diameters but not less than 6". (See
Figure 1)
Properly match socket, wedge and clip (See Table I) to wire
rope size.
Align live end of rope, with center line of pin. (See Figure 1)
Secure dead end section of rope. (See Figure 1)
Tighten nuts on clip to recommended torque. (Table I)
Do not attach dead end to live end or install wedge
backwards. (See Figure 2)
Use a hammer to seat Wedge and Rope as deep into
socket as possible before applying first load.

Operating Safety
• Apply first load to fully seat the Wedge and Wire Rope in
the socket. This load should be of equal or greater weight
than loads expected in use.
• Efficiency rating of the Wedge socket termination is based
upon the catalog breaking strength of Wire Rope. The
efficiency of a properly assembled Wedge Socket is 80%.
• During use, do not strike the dead end section with any
other elements of the rigging (Called two-blocking).

S-421T

• Basket is cast steel.
• Individually magnetic particle inspected.
• Pin diameter and jaw opening allows wedge and socket to
be used in conjunction with open swage and spelter
sockets.
• Secures the tail or "dead end" of the wire rope to the
wedge, thus eliminates loss or "Punch out" of the wedge.
• The TERMINATOR™ wedge eliminates the potential
breaking off of the tail due to fatigue.
• The tail, which is secured by the base of the clip and the
wedge, is left undeformed and available for reuse.

• Incorporates Crosby's patented QUIC-CHECK™ "Go"
and "No-Go" feature cast into the wedge. The proper size
rope is determined when the following criteria are met:
1. The wire rope should pass thru the "Go" hole in the
wedge.
2. The wire rope should NOT pass thru the "No-Go"
hole in the wedge.
• Utilizes standard Crosby Red-U-Bolt wire rope clip.
• Generates a minimum efficiency of 80% based on the
catalog breaking strength of the wire rope.
• Standard S-421 wedge socket can be retrofitted with the
new style TERMINATOR™ wedge.
• Available with Bolt, Nut and Cotter Pin.

*Terminator Assembly includes Socket, Wedge, Pin and Wire Rope Clip.

SLIP-THRU THIMBLE
NEWCO SLIP-TRHU THIMBLES are designed to allow
passage of an identical thimble through its eye. This is
a necessity when a regular sling is used as a choker
sling. SLIP-THRU THIMBLES also prevent the eye of
the sling from mashing together and the top of the eye
wearing excessively. The generous inside dimensions
allow the thimbles to fit large crane hooks.

• Always be sure threads on shank and receiving holes
are clean.

Shoulder Nut Eye Bolt –
Installation for Angular Loading

• Never machine, grind, or cut eye bolt.
Assembly Safety
• Never exceed load limits specified in Table I.

• The threaded shank
must
protrude
through the load
sufficiently to allow
full engagement of
the nut.

• Never use regular nut eye bolts for angular lifts.
• Always use shoulder nut eye bolts (or machinery eye
bolts) for angular lifts.
• For angular lifts, adjust working load as follows:
DIRECTION OF PULL
45 degrees
90 degrees

• If the eye bolt
protrudes so far
through the load
that the nut cannot
be
tightened
securely against the
load, use properly
sized washers to
take up the excess
space BETWEEN
THE NUT AND THE
LOAD.

ADJUSTED WORKING LOAD
30% of rated working load
25% of rated working load

• Never undercut eye bolt to seat shoulder against the
load.
• Always countersink receiving hole or use washers to
seat shoulder.

• Thickness of spacers
must
exceed
this
distance between the
bottom of the load and
the last thread of the eye
bolt.

• Always screw eye bolt down completely for proper
seating.
• Always tighten nuts securely against the load.

HEADQUARTERS: 55

James E. Casey Drive • Buffalo, NY 14206

• Place
washers
or
spacers between nut
and load so that when
the nut is tightened
securely, the shoulder is
secured flush against
the load surface.

Operating Safety
• Always inspect eye bolt before use.
• Always lift load with a steady, even pull – do not jerk.
• Always apply load to eye bolt in the plane of the eye,
not at an angle.

Do not reeve slings
from one eye bolt to
another. This will alter
the load & angle of
loading on the eye bolt.

• Never exceed the capacity of the eyebolt – See Table I.
• When using lifting slings of two or more legs, make sure
the loads in the legs are calculated using the angle from
the vertical to the leg and properly size the shoulder nut
or machinery eye bolt for the angular load.
After slings have been
properly attached to the eye
bolts, apply force slowly.
Watch the load carefully
& be prepared to stop
applying force
if the load
starts buckling.

Wrong
Resultant Load

Buckling may occur if
the load is not stiff
enough to resist the
compressive forces
which result
from the angular
loading.

Machinery Eye Bolt – Installation for In-Line & Angular Loading
These eye bolts are primarily intended to be installed into
tapped holes.

TABLE II

1. After the loads on the eye bolts have been calculated,
select the proper size eye bolt for the job.
For angular lifts, adjust working load as follows:
DIRECTION OF PULL
45 degrees
90 degrees

ADJUSTED WORKING LOAD
30% of rated working load
25% of rated working load

2. Drill and tap the load to the correct sizes to a minimum
depth of one-half the eye bolt size beyond the shank
length of the machinery eye bolt.
3. Thread the eye bolt into the load until the shoulder is
flush and securely tightened against the load.
4. If the plane of the machinery eye bolt is not aligned
with the sling line, estimate the amount of unthreading
rotation necessary to align the plane of the eye
properly.
5. Remove the machinery eye bolt from the load and add
shims (washers) of proper thickness to adjust the angle
of the plane of the eye to match the sling line. Use
Table II to estimate the required shim thickness for the
amount of unthreading rotation required.

SWAGED SOCKETS ASSEMBLIES
In mechanically swaged fittings, high
pressure presses and precision dies cause
metal of the socket to flow around wires
and strands to offer the ultimate in
compactness and strength with minimum
weight. Material is weldless, drop-forged
steel.

Normally, only regular lay rope is used.
Swaged assemblies are interchangeable
with *poured sockets up through 2" rope
diameters. Assembly length is measured
from centerline of pins for both open and
closed sockets.
When purchasing, indicate choice of end
fittings by the suffixes “OS” or “CS” after
the stock number, for open or closed type
fittings. Pins and cotters are supplied as
standard on open fittings, but assemblies
may be specified without pins. Fittings are
assembled in the same plane unless
specified otherwise when ordered.

Wire Rope
YOUR SLING AND RIGGING SPECIALIST

ROTATION RESISTANT
WIRE ROPES

Dyform® - 34LR

In certain instances the use of rotation resistant
wire rope is necessary to provide rotational
stability to the lifted load. In general, the use of
these specialized wire ropes is limited to those
situations where it is impractical to:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Use a tag line.
Relocate rope dead end.
Increase sheave sizes.
Eliminate "odd-part" reeving.
Significantly reduce rope loading and rope
length.

Strongest, most rotation
resistant. For the most
demanding hoisting
applications.

Rotation resistant wire ropes have less of a
tendency to unlay when loaded than do
conventional wire ropes. This results in improved
rotational stability to the lifted load within a safe
working load range. Rotation resistant wire
ropes are designed in such a way that the
rotational force of the outer rope is partially
counteracted by the rotational force of the inner
rope when the rope is subjected to a load.
The rated strengths of rotation resistant ropes
are less than the conventional 6 x 19 and 6 x 36
Classification wire ropes, and larger sheaves
and drums are required in order to achieve
comparable fatigue life. Drum and sheave
diameters should be 34 to 36 times rope
diameter for the 19 x 7 and 35 x 7 rotation
resistant ropes and 21 to 27 times rope diameter
for 8 x 19 rotation resistant ropes.

35LS

For demanding
applications where
highest strength is not
mandatory.

Rotation Resistant Ropes are available in a full
range of sizes, grades and constructions:
• Standard constructions for single-part and
multi-part lifting.
• Special wire rope constructions for increased
service life in particularly demanding
applications – Dyform®-18 HSLR, Dyform®
34LR and 35LS.
NOTE:
1. Swivels are not recommended for use with
rotation resistant ropes.
2. Although B30 standards permit rotation
resistant ropes to be used under certain
conditions at design factors of 3.5:1, we
recommend a minimum design factor of 5:1
and a design factor of 7:1 for extended rope
life.

HIGH PERFORMANCE WIRE ROPE
Constructex® is made of three different
strand constructions: 7-wire, 24-wire and
40-wire strands. The nine strands are
closed in operation and lightly swaged to
postform the rope and give the strands a
triangular shape. Compacting increases
strength and resistance to crushing. The smooth outside
surface enhances abrasion and scrubbing resistance.
Constructex® can provide 1-1/2 to 2 times the service life
of other wire ropes in severely abusive applications.

Wire Ropes
YOUR SLING AND RIGGING SPECIALIST

INSPECTION – THE KEY TO LONGER, SAFER WIRE ROPE USE
Any wire rope in use should be inspected on a
regular basis. You have too much at stake in
lives and equipment to ignore thorough
examination of the rope at prescribed
intervals.

JUST LOOKING AT THE ROPE IS NOT ENOUGH
When an inspector takes a look at a rope, he may see
sections showing excessive wear. By flagging the rope, he
can quickly determine where the rope is rubbing or
contacting parts of the equipment, and then repair, replace
or modify the condition causing wear.

The purpose of inspection is to accurately
estimate the service life and strength
remaining in a rope so that maximum service
can be had within the limits of safety. Results
of the inspection should be recorded to
provide a history of rope performance on a
particular job. On most jobs, wire rope must be
replaced before there is a risk of failure. A rope
broken in service can destroy machinery and
curtail production. It can also kill.

Inspections of sheaves is a relatively simple, yet very vital
task. A sheave groove gauge, usually obtainable from a
wire rope manufacturer, is used to check the grooves in a
sheave. Hold the gauge perpendicular to the surface of the
groove to observe properly the groove size and contour, as
in this illustration.

Because of the great responsibility involved in
ensuring safe rigging on equipment, the man
assigned to inspect should know wire rope and
its operation thoroughly. Inspections should be
made regularly and the results recorded.
When inspecting the rope, the condition of the
drum, sheaves, guards, cable clamps and
other end fittings should be noted. The
condition of these parts affects rope wear; any
defects detected should be repaired.
To ensure rope soundness between
inspections, all workers should participate.
The operation can be most helpful by watching
the ropes under his control. If any accident
involving the ropes occurs, the operator
should immediately shut down his equipment
and report the accident to his supervisor. The
equipment should be inspected before
resuming operation.
Photo shows new gauge and worn sheave. This new gauge is
designed with one-half the allowable oversize (see table). Using
the new gauge, when you do not see light, the sheave is OK.
When you do see light under the new gauge, the sheave should
be replaced.

The Occupational Safety and Health Act has
made periodic inspection mandatory for most
wire rope applications.

Wire Ropes

SHEAVES SHOULD BE CHECKED FOR:
1. Correct groove diameter
2. Roundness or contour to give proper support to the rope
3. Small holes, cracks, uneven surfaces, or other defects that
might be detrimental to the rope
4. Extreme deep wear
A sheave should also be checked to make sure it turns freely,
is properly aligned, has no broken or cracked flanges, and has
bearings that work properly.
Drums should also be inspected for signs of wear that could
damage rope. Plain-faced or smooth drums can develop
grooves or impressions that prevent rope from winding
properly. Repair by resurfacing the face or replacing the
lagging.
Scrubbing will occur if the rope tends to close wind. If the
tendency is to open winding, the rope will encounter abnormal
abuse as the second layer forces itself down between the
open wraps of the first layer on the drum.

RIGHT WAY. Set the machinist's caliper to read the
widest diameter. Vernier scale reads to 1/128th of
an inch.

Operating with a smooth drum calls for special care. Be sure
the rope is always tightly wound and thread laid on the first
layer. Any loosening of the line is easily observed as the
winding will be bad and the rope will be coming off with a
series of "bad spots."
Grooved drums should be examined for tight or corrugated
grooves and for differences in depth or pitch that could
damage the second and subsequent layers. Worn grooves
can develop extremely sharp edges that shave away small
particles of steel from the rope. Correct this condition by
grinding or filing a radius to replace the sharp edge.
Drum flanges, as well as the starter, filler and riser strips,
should be checked. Excessive wear here often causes
unnecessary rope abuse at the change of layers and crossover points.
Other places of contact such as rollers, scrub boards, guides
and end-attachments should also be inspected.

MEASURE THE WIDEST DIAMETER
Ropes and sheave grooves must be precisely fitted to each
other to get the most service out of your wire rope dollar.
Make measurement of rope diameter a normal part of your
inspection program.
There's only one right way to measure rope diameter: use
machinist's calipers and be sure to measure the widest
diameter. The drawings at the left compare the right way with
the wrong way.

WRONG WAY. This is the wrong way to measure
wire rope diameter. Widest diameter is not being
read.

HEADQUARTERS: 55

This method is not only useful for measuring the diameter of
a new rope, but also for determining the amount of wear and
compression that has occurred while the rope has been in
use. Accurate recording of this information is essential in
helping to decide when to replace wire rope.

wire rope life. One costly form of neglect is lack of
proper field lubrication. Abuse takes many forms:
improper reeling or unreeling, wrong size or worn
sheaves, improper storage, and bad splicing are a
few.

CONDITION OF MACHINERY

CRUSHING. Because of loose winding on drum, rope was pulled
inbetween underlying wraps and crushed out of shape.

Wire rope performance depends upon the
condition of the equipment on which it operates;
poorly maintained equipment will usually result in
reduced rope life.

EFFECTS OF
VIBRATION

SHOCK-LOADING

AND

The destructive effects of jerking or shock-loading
are visually noticeable. Vibration has somewhat
the same effect, and is equally destructive. An
individual shock may be slight, but many rapidly
repeated slight shocks can have the effect of
several large shocks.
Vibration which occurs directly above a load is
often unavoidable. "Whipping" of the section of
rope immediately above the load is also common.
In these cases, rapid wire fatigue is possible. For
reasons of safety, this section should be examined
regularly.
Wire rope failure is usually cumulative. Each
repeated overstress brings the rope nearer to
failure. Thus, a wire rope may become fatigued to
a point close to failure under a heavy load, and
actually fail under a much lighter load.

TOO SUDDEN LOAD RELEASE. The sudden release of a load
caused birdcaging. Here individual strands open away from each
other, displacing the core.

LACK OF LUBRICATION. Premature breakage of wires resulted from
"locking" of strands, which was caused by insufficient lubrication.

OVERSTRESSING
In any hoisting operation, there should be no slack
in the wire rope when the load is applied.
Otherwise, the resulting stress will be excessive.
Overstressing can also be the result of too-rapid
acceleration or deceleration. Wire rope will
withstand considerable stress if the load is applied
slowly. As with ordinary twine, a quick snap will
cause overstressing and breakage. This applies
both when starting to lift a load, and when bringing
it to a stop.

INFREQUENT INSPECTION. Neglect of periodical inspection left this
rope in service too long, resulting in considerable abrasion.

CORROSION
Corrosion can seriously shorten wire rope life, both
by metal loss and by formation of corrosion pits in
the wires. These pits act as stress-concentration
points in the wires in much the same manner as do
nicks.

IMPROPER HANDLING. Kink or "dog leg" was caused by improper
handling and/or installation. A kink causes excessive localized or spot
abrasion.

WIRE ROPE ABUSE continued
Wire rope left on machines shut down for
long periods of time deteriorates rapidly. To
preserve the rope for future sue, it should
be removed, cleaned and thoroughly
lubricated.

CAUSES OF CORROSION DAMAGE
Pitting, erosion and surface effects of many
different types can all result in corrosion
damage. Because they tend to increase
corrosion, the following conditions should
be considered and noted when applicable,
during the ordering of wire rope: acid and
alkaline solutions, gases, fumes, brine and
salt air, sulphurous compounds, and high
humidity and temperature. Lubricants are
readily available to reduce the severity of
attack of most of these conditions.

REVERSE BENDING Running this rope over one sheave and under
another caused fatigue breaks in wires.

EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE TO ELEMENTS. Too much exposure
combined with surface wear and loss of lubrication caused corrosion
and pitting.

EFFECTS OF SEVERE HEAT
Where wire rope is subjected to severe heat
(e.g., foundry cranes) it will not give the
service expected because it will deteriorate
more quickly.
Wire ropes exposed to hot-metal handling
or other extreme heat sometimes require
independent wire rope cores.

TOO LONG IN SERVICE. Repeated winding and overwinding of this
rope on a drum while it was under heavy stress caused the unusually
severe wear shown.

SHIFTING ROPES FROM ONE JOB
TO ANOTHER
Sometimes an idle wire rope from one
operation is installed on another to keep the
rope in continuous service. This extremely
poor practice is an expensive "economy."
Because wire rope tends to "set" to the
conditions of its particular operating job, the
differing bends, abrasions and stresses of a
new operation can produce premature
failure. Therefore, for a maximum life and
efficiency, a rope should be used only on
the job for which it has been specified.

MACHINERY OPERATION
Some operators are harder on their
machinery than others and as a result they
get shorter rope life. In certain instances,
enough extra work is done to more than
offset the additional wear-and-tear on
equipment and wire rope. The operation
may be more efficient from the production
standpoint as a result, but those in charge
of rope purchases should be made aware of
the probable reduction in rope life and
increased rope costs.

HEADQUARTERS: 55

UNDERSIZE SHEAVE GROOVES. Sheaves were too small, causing
strands to pinch. Wires then fail in the valley between the strands.

POOR WORK PROCEDURES. Damage to strands and wires resulted
from electric arcing.

been "pulled through" and tightened remains in service.

PROPER SHEAVE AND DRUM SIZES
CONSTRUCTION

EFFECT OF SHEAVE SIZE
Wire ropes are manufactured in a
great variety of constructions to meet
the varying demands of wire rope
usage. Where abrasion is an
important factor, the rope must be
made of a coarse construction
containing relatively large wires. In
other cases, the great amount of
bending to which the rope is subjected
is more important. Here, a more
flexible construction, containing many
relatively small wires, is required. In
either case, however, if the rope
operates over inadequate size

6X7

Referring to this chart when selecting
a rope, the mid-point (at the X) comes
closest to an even balance between
abrasion resistance and resistance to
bending fatigue. Reading up or down
along either leg of the X, the inverse
relationship becomes more apparent
as one quality increases and the other
decreases.

Therefore, it is evident that a definite
relationship exists between rope
service and sheave size. As a guide to
rope users, wire rope manufacturers
have established standards for various
rope constructions. To secure the most
economical service, it is important that
the suggested size of sheaves given
below be used.

LE

Two compelling factors that govern
most decisions as to the selection of a
wire rope are: abrasion resistance,
and resistance to bending fatigue.
Striking a proper balance with respect
to these two important characteristics
demands judgment of a very high
order. A graphic presentation of just
such comparison of qualities between
the
most
widely
used
rope
constructions and others is given by
means of X-chart.

Another undesirable effect of small
sheaves is accelerated wear of both
rope and sheave groove. The pressure
per unit area of rope on sheave groove
for a given load is inversely proportional
to the size of the sheave. In other
words, the smaller the sheave the
greater the rope pressure per unit area
on the groove. Both sheaves and rope
life can obviously be prolonged by using
the proper diameter sheave for the size
and construction of rope.

LE

As with all engineering design
problems, feasible solutions demand
compromise to some degree. At times,
it becomes necessary to settle for less
than optimum resistance to abrasion
in order to obtain maximum flexibility;
the latter being a more important
requirement for the given job. A
typical example of this kind of trade-off
would be in selecting a highly flexible
rope on an overhead crane.
Conversely, in a haulage installation, a
rope with greater resistance to
abrasion would be chosen despite the
fact that such ropes are markedly less
flexible.

Sheave diameter can also influence
rope strength. When a wire rope is
bent around a sheave, there is a loss
of effective strength due to the inability
of the individual strands and wire to
adjust themselves entirely to their
changed position. Tests show that rope
strength efficiency decreases to a
marked degree as the sheave diameter
is reduced with respect to the diameter
of the rope.

sheaves, the severe bending stresses
imposed will cause the wires to break
from fatigue, even though actual wear is
slight. The smaller the diameter of the
sheave, the sooner these fatigue breaks
will occur and the shorter rope life
becomes.

NUMBER OF OUTSIDE WIRES PER STRAND

While there is a possibility, there is
likelihood that an application can be
found for which there is a precisely
suitable wire rope – one that can
satisfy every indicated requirement.

Wire Ropes
YOUR SLING AND RIGGING SPECIALIST

ROPE STRENGTH AND DESIGN FACTORS
The rope strength design factor is the ratio of the
rated strength of the rope to its operating stress. If
a particular rope has a rated strength of 100,000
lbs. and is working under an operating stress of
20,000 lbs., it has a rope strength design factor of
5. It is operating at one-fifth or 20% of its rated
strength.
Many codes refer to this factor as the "Safety
Factor" which is a misleading term, since this ratio
obviously does not include the many facets of an
operation which must be considered in
determining safety.

Wire rope is an expendable item – a replacement
part of a machine or installation. For economic and
other reasons, some installations require ropes to
operate at high stresses (low rope strength design
factors). On some installations where high risk is
involved, high rope strength design factors must
be maintained. However, operating and safety
codes exist for most applications and these codes
give specific factors for usage. When a machine is
working and large dynamic loadings (shock
loading) are imparted to the rope, the rope
strength design factor will be reduced which could
result in overstressing of the rope. Reduced rope
strength design factors frequently result in reduced
service life of wire rope.

Wire Ropes
YOUR SLING AND RIGGING SPECIALIST

ROPE STRENGTH AND DESIGN FACTORS
susceptible to the abuses of bending over small
diameter sheaves, pinching in undersize sheave
grooves, crushing when winding on drums, and failing
due to excessive rotation. Left lay rope has greatest
usage in oil fields on rod and tubing lines, blast hole
rigs, and spudders where rotation of right lay rope
would loosen couplings. The rotation of a left lay rope
tightens a standard coupling.
A wire rope is a piece of flexible, multi-wired, stranded
machinery made of many precision parts.
Usually a wire rope consists of a core member, around
which a number of multi-wired strands are "laid" or
helically bent. There are two general types of cores for
wire rope – fiber cores and wire cores. The fiber core
may be made from natural or synthetic fibers. The wire
core can be an Independent Wire Core (IWRC), or
Strand Core (SC).
The purpose of the core is to provide support and
maintain the position of the outer strands during
operation.

UNDERSTAND WHAT THE "LAYS" OF WIRE
ROPE MEAN
"Lay" of a wire rope is simply a description of the way
wires and strands are placed during construction.
Right lay and left lay refer to the direction of strands.
Right lay means that the strands pass from left to right
across the rope. Left lay means just the opposite;
strands pass from right to left.

Any number of multi-wired strands may be laid around
the core. The most popular arrangement is six strands
around the core, as this combination gives the best
balance.
The number of wires per strand may vary from 3 to 91,
with the majority or wire ropes falling into the 7-wire,
19-wire, or 36 wire strand categories.
LENGTH OF SERVICE DEPENDS ON
HOW YOU TREAT YOUR WIRE ROPES.

Regular lay and lang lay describe the way wires are
placed within each strand. Regular lay means that
wires in the strands are laid opposite in direction to the
lay of the strands. Lang lay means that wires are laid
in the same direction as the lay of the strands.
Most of the wire rope used is right lay, regular lay. This
specification has the widest range of applications and
meets the requirements of most equipment. In fact,
other lay specifications are considered exceptions and
must be requested when ordering.

HERE ARE SOME EXCEPTIONS
Lang lay is recommended for many excavating,
construction, and mining applications, including
draglines, hoist lines, dredgelines and other similar
lines. Here's why. Lang lay ropes are more flexible
than regular lay ropes. They also have greater wearing
surface per wire than regular lay ropes.
Where properly recommended, installed and used,
lang lay ropes can be used to greater advantage than
regular lay ropes. However, lang lay ropes are more

attachment, is simply using a sling to
connect a lifting hook to a load. Full
rated lifting capacity of the sling may
be utilized, but must not be exceeded.
Whenever a single sling is used in this
manner, a tagline should be used to
prevent load rotation which may cause
damage to the sling.
When two or more slings are attached
to the same lifting hook in straight or
vertical manner, the total hitch
becomes, in effect, a lifting bridle, and
the load is distributed among the
individual slings.
CHOKER hitches reduce lifting
capability of a sling, since this method
of rigging affects ability of the wire
rope components to adjust during the
lift. A choker is used when the load will
not be seriously damaged by the sling
body – or the sling damaged by the
load, and when the lift requires the
sling to snug up against the load.

The diameter of the bend where the
sling contacts the load should keep the
point of choke against the sling BODY –
never against a splice or the base of
the eye. When a choke is used, the
sling rated capacity must be adjusted
downward to compensate for loss of
capability.

STRAIGHT
CHOKER

A choker hitch should be pulled tight
before a lift is made – NOT PULLED
DOWN DURING THE LIFT. It is also
dangerous to use only one choker hitch
to lift a load which might shift or slide
out of the choke.
BASKET hitches distribute a load
between the two legs of a sling – within
limitations described below. Capacity of
a sling used in a basket is affected by
the bend, or curvature, where the sling
body comes in contact with the load –
just as any sling is affected and limited
by bending action, as over a sheave.

CALCULATING THE LOAD ON EACH LEG OF A SLING
As the horizontal angle between the

each in a straight pull, as with a 2legged bridle.

3. Then MULTIPLY the load per leg (as computed in No. 1 above) by the Load
Factor for the leg angle being used (from the table below) – to compute the
ACTUAL LOAD on each leg for this lift and angle. THE ACTUAL LOAD MUST
NOT EXCEED THE RATED SLING CAPACITY.
Thus, in drawing three (sling angle at 60°):
1000 ÷ 2 = 500 (Load Per Leg if vertical lift)
500 x 1.154 = 577 lbs. = ACTUAL LOAD on each leg at the 60° HORIZ
angle being used.
In drawing four (sling angle of 45°):
1000 ÷ 2 = 500 (Load Per Leg if a vertical lift)
500 x 1.414 = 70 lbs. = ACTUAL LOAD on each leg at the 45° HORIZ angle
being used.

EFFECT OF ANGLES

to exceed a 45-degree sling leg angle.

Various sling manufacturers refer in their
specification tables to leg angles of slings
during lifts – since these angles have a
direct relationship to lifting capability of a
sling. Regardless of how the sling angle
may be stated, or the method used to
compute stress in a sling leg, the sling is
the same. Capacity does not change –
but stresses on sling legs change with
rigging angles.

Angles less than 45 degrees not only build
up tension in the sling legs out of all
proportion to the weight of the load, they
also create a much greater "in-pull" on the
ends of the load. This produces
eccentrically loaded column effect, as an
engineer would describe it – meaning
simply that long, slender objects have a
tendency to buckle. Angles less than 45
degrees indicate some thought should be
given to the use of a lifting beam or other
device in connection with the lift.

Much misunderstanding results because
the carrying capacity of a sling leg is
reduced by the rigging angle. What
happens is that the operator is lifting the
load straight up (vertical) while the legs
are pulling at an angle, thereby causing a
disadvantage.
For quick figuring in the shop, a 60-degree
leg angle causes a loss in lifting capacity
of 15%... a 45-degree angle reduces
capacity by 30%... and a 30-degree angle,
50%. This rule of thumb is not 100%
accurate, but is easy to remember and
slightly on the safe side.
It is always good practice, within limits, to
keep the sling leg angle as large as
possible. The length and width of the load
sling length, and available headroom are
determining factors in this sling angle.
It is neither economical nor good practice

SELECTING A SLING
The following is presented as a guide only
to help in selection of a sling for a lift.
1. Determine the Load: The weight of the
load must be known. This is always the
starting point.
2. Decide the Hitch: Shape and bulk of the
load must be accommodated as well as
weight. Determine whether a straight
attachment at some point on the load, a
choker around the load, or some form of
basket hitch will best control the load
during the lift.
3. Adequacy of Lifting Device: The lifting
device must have adequate capacity for
making the lift, and provide any
maneuverability required once the load
is hoisted.
4. Room to Lift: Make certain the lifting
device has sufficient headroom to raise
the load to the height required.
Headroom will affect the length of sling.
5. Length of Sling: By applying your
decision on the type of hitch to
knowledge of the headroom offered by
the lifting device, the length of sling can
be calculated.
6. Use Rated Capacity Chart: Always
double-check that the sling type and
capacity you choose, when rigged at
the angle determined by the length of
the sling, or the specific type of hitch,

HEADQUARTERS: 55

Studying typical sling charts readily reveals
that lifting capacities on slings are
misleading unless the sling angle is stated.
The same sling that will handle 10 tons at
an 85-degree leg angle will only handle 5
tons if this angle is decreased to 30
degrees.

GOOD SLING PRACTICE
Regardless of what type of sling may be
employed, there are accepted good
working rules which will help increase
useful sling life – as well as improve safety.
These include:
1. Use the proper sling for the lift. Whether
Twin-Path, Web, Chain, or Wire Rope,
the proper sling is the one with the best
combination of work and handling
feature – of the proper length and rated

will handle the load.
Attaching the sling and completing the lift
should be an orderly procedure without
"surprises" when these steps have been
followed. Two further precautions should be
noted, however.
First, plan to protect both load and sling
from damage at sharp corners, etc.
Cornermax™ and Synthetic Armor Wear
Pads should be provided at the lift site. A
protective pad should be used anytime a
sling passes around a sharp corner.
Last – by no means unimportant by being
last – every sling should be visually
examined from end to end BEFORE
EVERY LIFT. It must always be kept in
mind that the manufacturer's Rated
Capacity applies only to a new sling in
"unused" condition. A sling should be
carefully examined to determine that it is in
as nearly new condition as practicable
before each lift.
There are specific standards on the use
and care of slings in industries such as
shipping and construction, and these
provide some guidance for sling inspectors.
Consensus standards published as ANSI
B30.9 are particularly helpful.
ANSI Standard B30.9 specifies that a wire
rope sling should be removed form service

James E. Casey Drive • Buffalo, NY 14206

capacity for the situation.
2. Start and stop slowly. Crane hooks
should be raised slowly until the sling
becomes taut and the load is
suspended. Lifting or lowering speed
should be increased or decreased
gradually. Sudden starts or stops place
heavier loads on a sling – comparable
to jamming the brakes on a speeding
automobile. A rule of thumb: Shock
loads can double the stress on a sling.
3. If possible, set the load on blocks.
Pulling a sling from under a load causes
abrasion and "curling" – making the
sling harder to handle on the next lift,
while reducing strength through loss of
metal.
4. Sharp corners cut slings. Use protector
arcs, Cornermax™ and Synthetic Armor
Wear Pads between sharp corners and
the sling body.
5. Store in a dry room. Moisture is a
natural enemy of wire rope – as are acid
fumes and other caustic gases.
6. Avoid handling hot material or objects in
direct contact with the sling. Strength
goes down as temperature goes up!
7. Dropping casting, tools or heavy objects
on slings, or running over them with
trucks, can cause damage. Always
hang slings when not in use.
8. Use hooks properly. "Point loading"
reduces hook capacity. Pull should be
straight in the line of lift.
any time any of the following conditions
are detected:
1. Ten randomly distributed broken wires
in one rope lay, or five broken wires in
one strand in one rope lay.
2. Kinking, crushing, bird caging or any
other damage resulting in distortion of
the wire rope structure.
3. Evidence of heat damage.
4. End attachments that are cracked,
deformed, or worn.
5. Hooks that have been opened more
than 15% of the normal throat opening
measured at the narrowest point, or
twisted more than 10 degrees from the
plane of the unbent hook.
6. Corrosion of the rope or end
attachments.
It is apparent from the foregoing that
inspection of a wire rope sling to meet
these removal criteria requires more than
a casual understanding of wire rope
design and manufacture, and the
responsibility for daily inspections must be
in the hands of trained personnel.
Most of the foregoing applies equally to
any type of sling and careful inspection by
a trained inspector is necessary for safe
sling use. If you require training for any
type of sling inspection, contact Hanes
Supply for more information.

Block twisting or "cabling" is one of the
most frequently encountered wire rope
problems in the construction field. When
this problem occurs, the wire rope is most
often blamed, and other equally important
factors in the operation are overlooked.
Personnel experienced with handling of
wire rope know that conventional wire
ropes will twist or unlay slightly, when a
load is applied. In a reeved hoisting
system, subjected to loading and
unloading such as a load hoisting line, this
results in block twisting and possibly
distortion of the wire rope. Cabling of the
block most frequently occurs as the load
in the wire rope is released, and the "falls"
are in a lowered position. Cabling may be
considered as the twisting of the block
beyond one-half of a revolution (180°
twisting) of the traveling block. When this
condition occurs, the operator shows good
judgment in not making additional lifts,
until the conditions causing the problem
are corrected.
The following machine and site conditions
should be investigated for possible
improvement in block twisting.
1. Reduced wire rope length. Longer rope
lengths cause more twisting than short
rope lengths. This applies particularly
to the amount of wire rope in the "falls."
2. Reduce the amount of load lifted.
Heavily loaded ropes have more torque
and twist than lightly loaded ropes.
This condition would also apply to the

speed of loading or "shock" loading,
since this condition also causes higher
wire rope loading.
Eliminate "odd-part" reeving, where the
wire rope "dead-end" is on the traveling
block. Wire rope torque, from the
application of load, is greatest at the
rope dead-end.
Relocate the rope dead-end at the boom,
in order to increase the separation
between the dead-end and the other
rope parts. This applies a stabilizing
load directly to the traveling block. The
original equipment manufacturer should
be consulted before making this
modification.
Increase sheave size. This increases the
amount of separation between wire rope
parts and may improve the situation by
applying stabilizing loads and reducing
the amount of rope torque transmitted to
the traveling block.
Restrain the twisting block with a "tag"
line. One or more of the foregoing
suggestions may eliminate the problem
without resorting to "specialized" wire
rope which may not only be difficult to
locate but expensive as well.

The use of special "rotation resistant" wire
ropes will not likely be required unless the
intended length of rope "falls" exceeds 100
feet, or the length of the load hoisting line
exceeds 600 feet. In the event these latter
conditions exist, the user should also
anticipate using a combination of the
"rotation resistant" wire rope and the
foregoing field suggestions for the more
severe problems.

ELASTIC STRETCH
Elastic stretch results from recoverable deformation of the metal itself. Here, again, a
quantity cannot be precisely calculated. However, the following equation can provide a
reasonable approximation for a good many situations.
Changes in length (ft.) =

Change in load (lb.) x Length (ft.)
Area (in.2) x Modulus of Elasticity (psi)

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
ELASTIC PROPERTIES OF WIRE
ROPE
The following discussion relates to
conventional 6- or 8-strand ropes that
have either fiber or steel cores; it is not
applicable to rotation-resistant ropes since
these constitute a separate case.
Wire rope is an elastic member; it
stretches or elongates under load. This
stretch derives from two sources:
1. constructional, and
2. elastic.
In actuality, there may be a third source of
stretch – a result of the rope rotating on its
own axis. Such elongation, which may
occur either as a result of using a swivel,
or from the effect of a free-turning load, is
brought about by the unlaying of the rope
strands. Because the third source is a
subject that is beyond the scope of this
publication, discussion will be directed to
constructional and elastic stretch.

CONSTRUCTIONAL STRETCH
When a load is applied to wire rope, the
helically-laid wires and strands act in a
constricting manner thereby compressing
the core and bringing all the rope
elements into closer contact. The result is
a slight reduction in diameter and an
accompanying lengthening of the rope.
Constructional stretch is influenced by the
following factors:
1. type of core (fiber or steel),
2. rope construction (6 x 7, 6 x 25 FW,
6 x 41 WS, 8 x 19 S, etc.),
3. length of lay
4. material.
Ropes with wire strand core (WSC) or
independent wire rope core (IWRC) have
less constructional stretch than those with
fiber core (FC). The reason for this is the
fact that the steel cannot compress as
much as the fiber core.
Usually, constructional stretch will cease
at an early stage in the rope's life.
However, some fiber core ropes, if lightly
loaded (as in the case of elevator ropes),
may display a degree of constructional
stretch over a considerable portion of their
life.
A definite value for determining
constructional stretch cannot be assigned
since it is influenced by several factors.
The following table gives some idea of the
approximate stretch as a percentage of
rope under load.

THE REEVING OF TACKLE BLOCKS
across the edges of the block shell.

In reeving a pair of tackle blocks, one of which has
more than two sheaves, the hoisting rope should lead
from one of the center sheaves of the upper block.

To reeve by this method, the two blocks should be
placed so that the sheaves in the upper block are at
right angles to those in the lower one, as shown in the
following illustrations. Start reeving with the becket, or
standing end, of the rope.

When so reeved, the hoisting strain comes on the
center of the blocks and they are prevented from
toppling, with consequent injury to the rope by cutting
FIGURE 1

FIGURE 2

FIGURE 3

FIGURE 4

It is good practice to use a shackle
block as the upper one of a pair and a
hook block as the lower one. A
shackle would prevent any accidental
disengagement of the block from its
attaching point in the event of an
unusual movement of the attaching
point or block. The lower block having
a hook is more readily attached or
detached from the load. See Figures 1
through 5.

VARYING SHEAVE REVOLUTIONS IN A PAIR OF TACKLE BLOCKS
To raise a load one foot, the lower block must be raised one foot, and in accomplishing
this, each working rope must be shortened one foot.
In the example above, Ropes 1, 2, 3, etc., must be shortened one foot to raise the load
one foot. Assuming that the circumference of each sheave is one foot, Sheave No.1
must make one revolution to shorten Rope No. 1; Sheave No. 2 must make one
revolution to take up the one foot slack form Rope No. 1 and one additional revolution
to shorten Rope No. 2; Sheave No. 3 must make two revolutions to take up the two
feet of slack from Ropes 1 and 2 and one additional revolution to shorten Rope No. 3,
etc. for each succeeding sheave.

one foot on Sheave No. 1.
two feet on Sheave No. 2.
three feet on Sheave No. 3.
four feet on Sheave No. 4.
five feet on Sheave No. 5.

Therefore, all the sheaves in a set of blocks revolve at different rates of speed. Sheave No. 2 rotates twice as fast
as No. 1, Sheave No. 3 rotates three times as fast as No.1, Sheave No. 4 four times as fast as No. 1, etc.
Consequently the sheaves nearest the lead line, rotating at higher rates of speed, wear out more rapidly.
All sheaves should be kept well lubricated when in operation to reduce friction and wear.

LOADS ON BLOCKS
system in order to properly determine the rated capacity
block to be used.

The Rated Load Values for blocks shown in Crosby Group
literature are shown as "Working Loads," "Safe Working
Load" and "Resultant Safe Working Load"; and all these
terms are defined as the maximum amount of total load that
should be exerted on the block and its fitting, the fitting being
a hook, shackle, eye, loop, etc.

A single sheave block that is used to change direction of a
load line can be subjected to total loads GREATLY
DIFFERENT than the weight being lifted or pulled. The
amount of total load changes with the angle between the
incoming and departing lines to the block.

It must be recognized that this total load value MAY BE
DIFFERENT than the weight being lifted or pulled by a
hoisting or hauling system and, therefore, it is necessary to
determine the total load being imposed on each block in the
ANGLE

The following chart indicates the factor that is multiplied by
the line pull to obtain the total load on the block:
