Wire rope slings are a common choice in the lifting industry - they are more cost-efficient than and more strong, durable, and temperature-resistant than many . Along with these built-in advantages, choosing a 7x7x7 cable laid sling results in more flexibility and resistance to kinking than traditional wire rope configurations.

5/8" Dia. Wire Sling Construction

Our cable laid wire rope slings are made using EIPS-grade IWRC galvanized steel rope wire. The EIPS (Extra Improved Plow Steel) refers to the strength of the wire rope - its tensile strength is around 10% greater than an IPS grade, improving the lifting capacity. The galvanized classification means it's been treated with a thin layer of zinc for added corrosion-resistance compared to a sling made of bright steel wire rope.

IWRC stands for Independent Wire Rope Core. Constructed from durable steel, it's more resistant to crushing / pressure and allows for sling use in higher temperature environments than fiber cores. Fiber cores generally only go up to 180°F / 82°C, while IWRC core slings can handle temperatures up to 400°F / 204°C.
