Wire Rope SlingsWIREROPESLINGS
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.
MULTI-PART BODY
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.
4, 5 and 7-part Multi-part slings
with either mechanical or hand eye
splices are available on special order.
HAND SPLICE
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.
BRAIDED
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.

CUSTOM SOCKET ASSEMBLIES
Wire Rope assemblies with fittings permanently attached at ends are custom fabricated for use as boom pendants,
guylines, raising lines, backstays, lifting spreaders, etc. These are offered in both poured, or spelter, sockets and
mechanically swaged sockets. A Design Factor of five is applied in establishing Rated Capacities shown.
EPOXY COMPOUND SPELTER SOCKET
Epoxy compound is standard as the bonding medium
surrounding wires inside the socket. Steel forgings are used for
rope sizes 1/2" through 1-1/2", and cast steel fittings for larger
sizes. Larger than 4" available on special order. Assembly length
is measured from centerline of pin for open sockets and bearing
point for closed sockets.

CUSTOM SOCKET ASSEMBLIES
Indicate choice of end fittings on purchase orders by the suffixes “OS” or “CS” after the stock number, for open or closed
type fittings. Pins and cotters are supplied as standard on open fittings, but assemblies may be specified without pins.
Fittings will be assembled in the same plane unless specified otherwise on the order.
SWAGED SOCKET
In mechanically swaged fittings, high pressure presses and
precision dies cause metal of the socket to flow around wires
and strands to offer the ultimate in compactness and
strength with minimum weight. Material is weldless, drop-
forged steel. Normally, only regular lay rope is used. Swaged
assemblies are interchangeable with poured sockets up
through 2" rope diameters. Assembly length is measured
from centerline of pins for both open and closed sockets.

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
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.
