Reliable Lifting Made Simple: 2-Leg Wire Rope Bridle Sling with Screw Pin Bow Shackles

2-Leg Wire Rope Bridle Sling with Screw Pin Bow Shackles: In the world of industrial lifting and rigging, reliability and safety are more than just desirable—they’re non-negotiable. Whether you’re working on a construction site in Riyadh, an oil rig in the Eastern Province, or a manufacturing facility in Jeddah, the equipment you use must meet the highest standards. One such workhorse in lifting operations is the 2-leg wire rope bridle sling with screw pin bow shackles.

At SSTC (Safe and Secure Trading Company), we supply high-performance, rigorously tested lifting gear tailored for the demanding environments of Saudi Arabia. This blog will explore the structure, benefits, applications, safety practices, and why SSTC is your trusted source for 2-leg bridle wire rope slings with bow shackles.

What Is a 2-Leg Wire Rope Bridle Sling?

A 2-leg wire rope bridle sling is a lifting assembly made of two wire rope legs connected at the top by a master link, with the lower ends fitted with screw pin bow shackles for attaching the load. These slings are engineered to distribute the load evenly and provide flexibility, strength, and safety for lifting various types of heavy and irregularly shaped loads.

Key Components:

• Master Link: The top ring that connects to the crane hook.
• Wire Rope Legs: Made from high-tensile steel, often galvanized for corrosion resistance.
• Screw Pin Bow Shackles: Forged shackles that secure the wire rope legs to the load.

Why Choose Screw Pin Bow Shackles?

Easy to Use

The screw pin mechanism allows for quick setup and disassembly—perfect for jobs where you need to re-rig frequently.

Secure and Reliable

With their wide “bow” design, these shackles accommodate a variety of connection points, and the threaded pin ensures a secure hold under load.

Durable Construction

Made from alloy steel or carbon steel, these shackles are designed to endure heavy lifting operations and corrosive environments.

Versatile Application

From lifting concrete blocks to moving machinery, bow shackles can adapt to different load sizes, angles, and rigging needs.

Advantages of 2-Leg Wire Rope Bridle Slings

1. Load Stability: Two lifting points offer better balance than single-leg slings.
2. High Load Capacity: Depending on the wire rope diameter and sling angle, these slings can handle several tons.
3. Flexibility: The wire rope conforms slightly to the shape of the load.
4. Cost-Effective: Offers a reliable lifting solution at a competitive price.
5. Corrosion Resistance: Galvanized wire rope resists rust and moisture—essential for Saudi Arabia’s coastal or desert environments.
6. Customizable Lengths: SSTC can manufacture bridle slings to fit your specific project dimensions.

Applications in Saudi Arabia

Construction

For lifting steel beams, panels, or precast concrete components at various construction sites across KSA.

Oil & Gas

Essential in refineries, pipelines, and offshore platforms for lifting heavy equipment and components with minimal swing or imbalance.

Marine & Shipbuilding

Wire rope slings are suitable for loading and unloading cargo, and their corrosion-resistant properties make them ideal for marine conditions.

Manufacturing

Used to lift machinery, tools, and parts during production and maintenance activities.

Utilities and Power

Ideal for installing and maintaining transformers, turbines, and other heavy electrical components.

Safety Guidelines for Use

Lifting with wire rope bridle slings requires strict adherence to safety standards. Here are some best practices:

Inspection Before Use

• Look for broken wires, kinks, or corrosion.
• Inspect shackles for wear, bending, or stripped threads.
• Ensure screw pins are tight and fully engaged.

Know Your Sling Angles

The sling angle significantly affects the Working Load Limit (WLL). Lower angles increase stress on the wire rope.

Sling Angle	WLL % of Rated Capacity
90° (vertical)	100%
60°	86%
45°	71%
30°	50%

Use Proper Lifting Techniques

• Never shock-load the sling.
• Keep loads within rated capacity.
• Don’t twist or knot the wire rope legs.

Regular Maintenance

• Clean after use.
• Store in a dry location.
• Schedule annual inspection and load testing with certified professionals.
