This splice is fabricated by forming a loop eye and pressing an aluminum sleeve over both rope parts. The strength depends 100% upon the integrity of the pressed sleeve.

Unirope fabricates these splices according to the strict European standard EN 13411, using original specification sleeves and dies as specified in that standard.

This method is used for 8-, 9-, and 10 strand as well as non-rotating rope types (19×7, 19×19, 24×7, 34×7), and when Tri-Flex® and Gator-Flex® slings are requested with Thimbles at the ends.

With Aluminum Sleeve Loop Back Splice conforming to European Standard EN 13411-3.
