Description

Gain adaptability and robust performance in your lifting tasks with Marvisons' Wire Rope Sling with a Single Leg Soft Eye. This fundamental lifting tool is expertly crafted to provide a strong and flexible solution for a wide array of general-purpose hoisting, pulling, and rigging applications. Its distinguishing feature is the "soft eye" termination, where the loop (eye) is formed directly from the wire rope itself, without the rigid protection of a thimble. This design offers enhanced flexibility, making it ideal for connecting to irregularly shaped lifting points or for use in versatile choker hitches.

Our Single Leg Soft Eye Wire Rope Slings are constructed from high-quality steel wire rope, available in various constructions (e.g., 6x19 or 6x36 class) to suit different flexibility and strength requirements. The soft eye is typically formed by a secure swaged (crimped) ferrule, creating a strong and permanent termination. While offering superior adaptability, it's important to use the soft eye carefully to prevent premature wear, abrasion, or deformation at the bearing point; employing chafing gear or ensuring connection to smooth, rounded surfaces is recommended for extended life. Each sling is rigorously proof-tested and clearly marked with its Working Load Limit (WLL), designed to meet or exceed stringent international safety standards such as ASME B30.9 (for slings) and EN 13414-1 (for steel wire rope slings). Available in various diameters and lengths, Marvisons' Soft Eye Wire Rope Slings are a reliable and compliant choice for everyday lifting challenges.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Soft Eye Termination: Features a flexible loop formed directly from the wire rope, adapting easily to various connection points and choker hitches.
  • Single Leg Configuration: Simple and effective for direct attachment to a load.
  • High Strength Steel Wire Rope: Constructed from robust steel wire rope for excellent strength, flexibility, and fatigue resistance.
  • Reliable Working Load Limit (WLL): Clearly marked and proof-tested to ensure safe and compliant lifting within specified capacities.
  • Secure Swaged Termination: Eye is securely formed by a precisely swaged ferrule for permanent strength.
  • Versatile Lifting: Ideal for general-purpose lifting, pulling, and positioning of loads, especially where adaptability is needed.
  • Standards Compliant: Meets or exceeds ASME B30.9 and EN 13414-1 standards for wire rope slings.
  • Cost-Effective: Often a more economical choice compared to thimble-eye slings.

Important Note: Due to the absence of a thimble, soft eyes are more susceptible to wear. Always inspect regularly for abrasion, crushing, or deformation. Use protective chafing gear when connecting to rough or sharp surfaces to prolong sling life.
