3 Leg Wire Sling with Master Link Assembly and Thimble Hard Eyes – Built for Precision Lifting

3 Leg Wire Sling with Master Link Assembly and Thimble Hard Eyes: In sectors where heavy lifting is routine—such as oil and gas, marine logistics, construction, and industrial fabrication—the equipment used must meet stringent safety, performance, and precision standards. At SSTC (Safe and Secure Trading Company) in Saudi Arabia, we specialize in providing reliable, industry-certified lifting solutions that ensure efficiency, durability, and control.

One of our most advanced products is the 3-leg wire sling with a master link assembly and thimble hard eyes—engineered specifically for precision lifting in demanding environments. Whether you’re lifting asymmetrical loads or large industrial components, this rigging configuration offers enhanced balance, secure attachment points, and minimized wear.

What Is a 3-Leg Wire Sling with Master Link & Thimble Hard Eyes?

A 3-leg wire rope sling is a lifting sling that comprises:

• A master link assembly at the top (to connect to the lifting hook or crane)
• Three wire rope legs (equal length or customized to application)
• Thimble hard eyes at each end (protecting the wire eye termination from wear and tear)

Thimble Hard Eyes:

These are steel reinforcements inserted into the looped ends of the wire rope to preserve the shape of the eye and prevent abrasion or crushing from hardware like shackles or hooks.

Key Benefits of Using a 3-Leg Wire Sling with Thimble Eyes

1. Precision Lifting Across Uneven Load Points

The three-leg configuration distributes the load more evenly and is ideal for odd-shaped or unbalanced objects such as large tanks, pumps, or fabricated modules.

2. Reduced Wire Rope Damage

Thimble hard eyes prevent pinching, kinking, and crushing at the loop—extending the lifespan of the sling and increasing operational safety.

3. High Load Capacity with Angular Lifting

Unlike single or 2-leg slings, a 3-leg setup accommodates higher angular forces and improves the stability of the lifted load.

4. Customizable to Fit Your Lifting Needs

At SSTC, we build slings with specific leg lengths, load ratings, and eye dimensions to match your machinery, shackles, or crane setup.

5. Long-Lasting, Galvanized Protection

Our galvanized wire ropes resist corrosion, making them perfect for coastal, desert, or chemical plant environments common in Saudi Arabia.
