3-part Tri-Flex® Slings

The Tri-Flex® sling body is constructed from three regular 6-strand ropes making Tri-Flex® three times more flexible than regular sling constructions.

Rope Characteristic:

Tri-Flex® slings provide the combination of strength, flexibility and cost. The Tri-Flex® eye is finished with a regular UNI-LOC® Flemish Eye Splice which is less bulky than regular wire rope sling sleeves. Tri-Flex® slings are preferred by maintenance crews and utility personnel because of their ease of handling and overall versatility.

Shortest sling length: 2x eye length plus 18x body diameter.
