Warning:
All Capacities and WLL's shown meet the specification of the Wire Rope Technical Board. All Capacities and WLL's are based on a pin or object diameter which has at least 5 times the diameter of the sling body.
When a matching capacity round body shackle is used the D/d ratio becomes 2:1 or less. Depending on actual D/d ratio the sling capacity must be reduced by 35% to 45% ! 
     
     
PYTHON® - High Strength Grommet Slings
     
Rope Characteristic:
These slings are made from one continuous length of rope joined by pressing a UNI-LOC® Grommet Sleeve over the rope junction. The advantage is that the swaged sleeve gives a clear indication of the splice area.

PYTHON® Grommet Slings are about 35% stronger than regular 6-strand Grommets and are used where small sling dimensions are required.
