1-Leg Wire Rope Sling with Eye Hooks: A Compact Solution for Heavy Lifting

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.

Technical Specifications Offered by SSTC

Every sling from SSTC comes with tagging and documentation, including load ratings, serial numbers, inspection guidelines, and test certificates if required.
