• Rings
• Shackles
• Makes a field assembled bridle quick and easy.
• No cotter pin to snag sling material.
• Durable vinyl cover that:
• Protects sling at eye
• Keeps sling positioned correctly on spool.
• Increased radius of spool gives wider sling bearing surface
resulting in an increased area for load distribution, thus:
• Increasing Synthetic Sling efficiency by at least 15% as
compared to standard anchor and chain shackle bows and
conventional eye hooks. This allows 100% of the slings rated
Working Load Limit to be achieved.
• Allowing better load distribution on internal fibers.
• All Alloy construction.
• Design Factor of 5 to 1.
• Replacement kit for spool and web cover available.
• Designed for use with Type III (Eye & Eye), Class 7, 2 ply webbing
