Nylon Lifting Sling – Twisted Eye & Eye – 12″ x 8′ – 4-ply

At the widest end of the straight and twisted eye lines, 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 4-ply construction gives it the highest capacity in this width. Select lengths are also available as a reinforced twisted eye sling, with wear pads sewn into each eye.

Key Features

• Twisted loop at each end creates a right angle to the sling body for a snug fit on hooks
• Reinforced twisted eye sling option available in select lengths, adding wear pads for a twisted eye sling reinforced ends build
• 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
• Jobs with repeated hook contact at the eyes, where stepping up to the reinforced twisted eye sling length adds abrasion resistance

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.
