This process allows for the most efficient use of the rope capacity with top-quality steel as the pull is directly along the centerline of the rope and eye. Loops are secured with a forged metal sleeve over the spliced area along with heavy-duty thimbles to protect the ends of the sling. Riggers can reference critical information for safe sling application and OSHA compliance. Each eye on these slings is formed using the mechanical Flemish Eye Splice.
