1-Leg Wire Rope Sling with Eye Hooks: When it comes to reliable, safe, and space-efficient lifting solutions, few products deliver the same performance and versatility as the 1-leg wire rope sling with eye hooks. At SSTC (Safe and Secure Trading Company), a trusted name in industrial lifting solutions across Saudi Arabia, we offer high-quality wire rope slings built for heavy-duty lifting tasks, harsh environments, and strict safety standards.
In this post, we explore what makes the 1-leg wire rope sling with eye hooks such a compact yet powerful tool, its technical benefits, applications across industries, and how SSTC ensures top-tier quality and local support for your lifting needs.
What is a 1-Leg Wire Rope Sling with Eye Hooks?
A 1-leg wire rope sling is a single strand of wire rope terminated at both ends—typically with mechanically spliced eyes or flemish loops. When paired with eye hooks (also known as clevis or latch hooks), it becomes a complete lifting assembly, ideal for vertical lifting tasks.
Key Components:
Steel Wire Rope: Constructed from high-tensile galvanized or stainless steel for durability and strength.
Spliced Eyes: Professionally formed loops at each end, often reinforced with thimbles to reduce wear.
Eye Hooks: Forged hooks with latch locks, offering secure load engagement and release.
At SSTC, each sling is custom-fabricated or pre-assembled to meet your load rating and operational needs, complying with local and international safety standards.
Benefits of the 1-Leg Wire Rope Sling with Eye Hooks
1. Compact and Easy to Use
The single-leg configuration makes these slings lightweight, easy to handle, and ideal for quick vertical lifts. Their compact form also allows for efficient storage and transport—a major advantage in remote or tight job sites.
2. High Load Capacity
Despite its minimal profile, a properly constructed 1-leg sling can handle several tons of weight, depending on its diameter and rope grade. SSTC offers slings rated up to and beyond 20 tons, engineered for heavy loads in construction, oil, and marine sectors.

3. Durable in Harsh Conditions
Our wire rope slings are made with galvanized steel, which resists corrosion, abrasion, and fatigue. This makes them ideal for Saudi Arabia’s desert climate, offshore platforms, and petrochemical plants.
4. Cost-Efficient and Reusable
Compared to chain slings, wire rope slings are more affordable while still offering excellent load-bearing performance. Properly maintained, they are reusable, offering long-term value.
5. Custom Lengths and Hook Types
We provide custom lengths and eye hook configurations depending on your operational needs. Whether you require grab hooks, self-locking hooks, or clevis eye hooks, SSTC delivers flexibility and control.

Accessibility Statement

Compliance status
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience,
regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level.
These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible
to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific
disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML,
adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Screen-reader and keyboard navigation
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with
screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive
a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements,
alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website.
In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels;
descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups),
and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag
for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology.
To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on
as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.
Browser and assistive technology compatibility
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
