Slingmax® Gator-Flex® Wire Rope Slings

Gator-Flex Wire Rope Slings

US Patent #5,561,973

This sling has a nine-part body style with wires in the eyes that are crossed or interwoven so no wrapping is necessary. The sling was developed in conjunction with offshore oil company riggers who preferred a sling for heavy lifts that could be visually inspected and have the highest flexibility possible in a multi-part wire rope sling. The eyes are terminated in a hand-tuck-type of construction.
