18 Ton Eye & Eye Wire Rope Sling for Heavy-Duty Single-Leg Rigging

Designed for industrial lifting and material handling, this 18 ton wire rope cable sling features mechanically spliced Flemish eyes at both ends for a strong, dependable connection. Its 1-3/8″ wire rope is generally constructed in a 6×36 class, providing greater flexibility and fatigue resistance than 6×19 wire rope while supporting demanding heavy-duty rigging applications.

Key Features

• 18 Ton Rated Sling: Designed for lifting applications within the sling’s marked working load limit and specified configuration.
