The Tri-Flex® sling body is constructed
from three regular 6-strand ropes making Tri-Flex® three times
more flexible than regular sling constructions.
Rope Characteristic:
Tri-Flex® slings provide the combination of strength, flexibility
and cost. The Tri-Flex® eye is finished with a regular UNI-LOC®
Flemish Eye Splice which is less bulky than regular wire rope sling sleeves.
Tri-Flex® slings are preferred by maintenance crews and utility personnel
because of ease of handling and overall versatility.
Shortest sling length: 2x eye length plus 18x body diameter
