Nylon Lifting Sling – Twisted Eye & Eye – 1″ x 8′ – 2-ply

At the narrowest end of the line, this twisted eye nylon lifting sling, also called a type 4 nylon web sling, has eyes like a straight eye sling, but each loop twists to create a right angle to the sling body. That twist lets the sling sit snugly against a crane or hoist hook. While a twisted eye and eye sling also works in a basket or vertical hitch, it’s most suited to choker hitch use. In this width, its 2-ply construction steps up capacity while staying easy to handle.

Key Features

• Twisted loop at each end creates a right angle to the sling body for a snug fit on hooks
• Best suited to choker hitch use, though basket and vertical hitches also work
• Sling is built in the USA using 9,800 lbs. per inch industrial-grade webbing to industry standards
• a leather tag sewn into the strap records the working load limit for every hitch it’s rated for
• Length is taken from the load-bearing point at one eye to the load-bearing point at the other
• A proof-testing certificate can be added for a fee, but only if requested when the order is placed

Applications

• Choker hitch rigging where a snug fit against the hook matters
• Jobs that occasionally shift to a basket or vertical hitch without changing slings
• Crews standardizing on a twisted eye and eye sling for hook-heavy rigging work

Determining Sling Length

Sling length is measured from the load-bearing point of one eye to the load-bearing point of the opposite eye, providing the effective working length of the sling.
