MULTI-PART WIRE ROPE SLINGS

Delta Rigging and Tools Multi-Part slings are flexible, snug up tightly around the load in choker hitches, and quickly regain
shape after a lift. They also offer outstanding handling characteristics, particularly in the larger rated capacities. When
loaded, stress is equally distributed to all rope parts in the sling body due to the helical manner in which ropes are laid
together.

Braided slings are formed by continuously plaiting, or braiding, several ropes together to form the sling body and both eyes
in a single fabrication operation. Ends of individual ropes are usually hand-tucked or mechanically spliced into component
ropes of the body. Eyes are wrapped and given a rubberized coating since eyes are not braided.

Braided slings are often selected where loads must be rolled or maneuvered, since the design creates friction to grip loads
and resist rotation.
WIRE ROPE SLINGS

M U LT I - PA R T B O D Y HAND SPLICE BRAIDED

BRAIDED
CONSTRUCTION
High flexibility is achieved by
braiding, or plaiting, one or more
wire ropes to form a fabric for the
sling body. Component ropes run
continuously through body and
eyes, ends are hand-tucked into
sling body or secured with pressed
sleeves. 6-part sling is flat, 8-part
sling is round.
Each sling is hand fabricated by
laying together one or more ropes
in a helical manner, so component
ropes run continuously through the
eyes and sling body. Ends are
secured into component rope by
hand-tucked splices.
MECHANICAL SPLICE
Three wire ropes are helically laid
by hand to form a 3-part fabric,
from which sling bodies of 3 or 9
parts may be made by helically
laying one or three parts of fabric
together. Mechanical splices form
the eyes that provide centerline pull
along the sling body. Same number
of rope parts in the sling eyes as in
the body. Each sling is proof loaded
before shipment.

4, 5 and 7-part Multi-part slings

with either mechanical or hand eye
splices are available on special order.

TUFFY TRI-BRAID SLINGS

TUFF AND FLEXIBLE SLINGS, FOR YOUR TOUGHEST, MOST DEMANDING LOADS
Unmatched Flexibility
The unique 3x3 strand design of all Tuffy tri-braid slings consists of a patented
machine-braided wire fabric with interlaced construction, resulting in flexibility
and abrasion resistance far superior to standard rope strands. Made of industrial-
grade steel and constructed with the highest quality standards, only Tuffy slings
possess the perfect balance of strength, flexibility and durability.
Longer Service Life
Because machine braiding produces proper balancing of all parts, the outcome is
a highly efficient sling with a much longer service life. Even if one of the braided
parts is cut or broken, there is no stranding. Durable and reliable, Tuffy tri-braid

WIRE ROPE SLINGS

slings perform to unprecedented standards, keeping working environments more
productive and effective.
Quicker and Easier Loading
Workers now have an easy-to-handle tool that significantly eases and speeds the
hitching and unhitching process. Tuffy's flexibility enables greater sling control,
and the unique construction yields a safer, more secure sling, significantly less
prone to dangerous recoils and breakage.
Complete Knot and Kink Resistance
Tuffy Tri-braid slings are virtually impervious to kinking and knotting due to the
machine-braided and interlaced construction. Nothing short of a vice can leave a
mark on a Tuffy sling, and even then the ridge simply straightens out with no
material damage. Where a standard sling's strength can be canceled out if
stiffness imposes abnormal fatigue which saps the sling's endurance, the
flexibility and balance built into every tri-braid sling renders this issue obsolete.
