HOW SHOULD YOU SELECT THE PROPER WIRE ROPE SLING?

• Follow the manufacturers' charts and tables on sling types, angles, and rope diameters and select a proper sling which suits the load and the slinging method that you are going to use. Sling types can be endless, single, two, three or four leg.

• The sling must be both long enough and strong enough for the load and the slinging method.
