Cable Laid Wire Rope Grommet: In Saudi Arabia’s fast-growing industrial, oil & gas, and construction sectors, the demand for reliable and high-performance lifting solutions continues to rise. At SSTC (Safe and Secure Trading Company), a leading provider of rigging and lifting equipment in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, we specialize in offering cable laid wire rope grommets tailored to meet the rigorous safety and performance needs of various industrial sectors.
This comprehensive blog will guide you through everything you need to know about this powerful lifting tool, why it’s the ultimate choice for demanding applications, and how SSTC ensures superior quality and reliability in every grommet we supply.
A Cable Laid Wire Rope Grommet is a type of endless sling made by laying multiple wire ropes together in a circular form and securing them to form a continuous loop. Unlike traditional wire rope slings, cable laid grommets are more flexible, durable, and suited for ultra-heavy lifting applications.
The grommet’s construction typically involves:
At SSTC, our grommets are manufactured in compliance with international standards such as EN 13414, ASME B30.9, and BS 463, ensuring exceptional quality and safety.

Cable laid grommet slings are not just any lifting device—they are specifically designed for critical lifts where safety, strength, and flexibility are paramount. Whether you’re lifting massive machinery, offshore platforms, or oilfield modules, these slings deliver top-tier performance.
The cable laid grommet’s structure distributes loads evenly across its circular profile, minimizing stress concentration. This results in:
For instance, a grommet sling made with 8-part cable laid construction can offer up to double the lifting capacity of a comparable single-part rope sling.
At SSTC, we provide slings engineered for up to 400 tons and beyond, depending on your lifting requirements.
One of the defining features of grommet slings is their endless loop. This provides unmatched adaptability in lifting configurations such as:
Because there are no fixed eyes or terminations, the sling can be rotated between lifts, which distributes wear more evenly and extends the service life of the sling—making it an ideal investment for high-frequency lifting operations.
Despite their strength, cable laid grommets offer remarkable flexibility, which makes them easier to rig around large or irregular loads. This flexibility helps:
This is especially advantageous in confined or complex lifting scenarios such as offshore modules, where maneuverability is just as critical as capacity.
At SSTC, safety is not just a priority—it’s our promise. Our grommet slings are:
This ensures complete compliance with local and international safety regulations—something essential for major projects in Saudi Arabia where safety audits are strict and non-negotiable.
Saudi Arabia’s lifting environments—from the deserts of Riyadh to the offshore platforms of the Red Sea and Arabian Gulf—are among the harshest in the world. Our grommets are designed to withstand:
SSTC also offers protective coatings, thimbles, and wear pads to further extend the life of your grommet sling in demanding operational settings.
No two lifts are exactly alike. That’s why SSTC provides custom-manufactured cable laid wire rope grommets with options such as:
We work closely with our clients to engineer slings that perfectly match the lifting geometry, weight, and environmental considerations of each project.
