Gator-Max Wire Rope Slings with Parallel Eyes

US Patent #5,561,973

For heavy lifting work this is the most efficient wire rope sling that meets all industrial and regulatory standards. In this sling, eyes have the wires (6 ropes = 12 parts) laid in parallel. The eyes are terminated in a hand-tuck type of construction, 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. The eye is terminated in a hand-tuck type of construction. Another extremely flexible sling.
