TRI-FLEX® WIRE
ROPE SLING
This is a three part wire rope sling developed
to give the rigger the advantages of strength combined
with greater flexibility. It was created to replace
large diameter single part wire rope slings which
proved awkward and stiff. Tri-Flex® Slings
are now
manufactured in sizes from 1 ton to 145 ton capacity.
Steel erectors, millwrights and riggers use Tri-Flex® slings
for everything from steel erection or machinery
moving to any type of heavy lift. These slings
are made in matching lengths.

GATOR-MAX™ SLING
This is the strongest multi-part sling with great
flexibility. It will develop its full strength
on small pins with a D/d ratio of 1/1 where D is
the pin and d is the sling body. (4/1 D/d when
comparing the pin to the component parts.) For
heavy lifting work this is the most efficient wire
rope sling that meets all of the standards. The
eyes have the wire ropes (12) laid in parallel
so that there is no cross over and then they are
wrapped with heavy duty material to keep them in
position. It is an excellent choice when you have
to use small pins. This sling was developed to
meet conditions specified by the US Navy and the
Wire Rope Technical Board Sling Manual.

GATOR-LAID® WIRE
ROPE SLING
This is identical to the Gator-Max® sling with
the parallel eyes except it has metal sleeves for
the splice connection. This is the product when
a big lift but shorter sling is required. It also
has twelve parts of wire rope in the loop. The
Gator-Flex® and
Gator-Laid® products were developed in conjunction
with the off-shore oil industry to provide the
worlds best heavy lift wire rope slings. D/d ratios
are the same as for the Gator-Max® sling. US

GATOR-FLEX® WIRE
ROPE SLING
This sling has a nine part body style but the
eyes are crossed or interwoven so that no wrapping
is necessary. The sling was developed in conjunction
with riggers in the field that wished to create
a sling for heavy lifts that could be visually
inspected and have the highest flexibility possible
in a multi-part wire rope sling. The D/d ratio
of the sling body is 5:1 and the eye loop is
1:1 where D is the pin or load diameter and d
is the sling body diameter. US Patent #5,561,973

TRI-FLEX® SLING
SYSTEM
This product is a combination of three Tri-Flex® Wire Rope slings wrapped
together
helically to form a nine part finished body sling. After a heavy lift is finished
the product can be taken apart to form three individual Tri-Flex® slings
for smaller lifting work. It has twelve parts of wire rope in the loop for greater
strength than traditional nine part wire rope slings. US Patent #4,240,659 CN
