This 1.4 ton thimble eye and thimble eye wire rope sling provides a durable single-leg lifting option with reinforced eye protection at both ends. Built from 3/8″ EIPS-grade IWRC bright steel wire rope, it combines strength, abrasion resistance, and durability for lifting, rigging, and material handling applications.

Always refer to the product identification tag, manufacturer instructions, and applicable safety requirements before selecting or using lifting equipment. Due to the thimble sizes, this sling cannot be used in a choker hitch.

1.4 Ton Thimble Eye Wire Rope Sling for Single-Leg Rigging

Designed for industrial lifting and material handling, this wire rope sling features mechanically spliced Flemish eyes reinforced with thimbles at both ends. The thimbles help reduce wear and eye deformation while supporting more consistent load distribution at the connection points. Its 3/8″ wire rope is generally supplied in a 6×19 class construction for a practical balance of strength and abrasion resistance.

Before You Choose a Sling

• Review Rated Capacity: Check the sling identification tag and product specifications to confirm ratings for your intended application.
