This is what scale looks like after the pour.

Here’s the final result of a http://3.5" wire rope sling completed with Crosby G-416 Open Spelter Sockets and WIRELOCK® socketing compound.

Spelter socket terminations are built for serious lifting applications where strength, reliability, and proper installation matter. When installed correctly, a spelter socket provides a permanent, high-efficiency wire rope termination designed to transfer load through the socket connection.

Technical callout:
- http://3.5" wire rope sling
- Crosby G-416 Open Spelter Sockets sized for 3-1/2" – 3-5/8" wire rope
- WIRELOCK® socketing compound
- Permanent wire rope end termination
- Built for heavy lifting, rigging, marine, and industrial applications

The process may look simple when it’s finished, but every step matters — from brooming and cleaning the wire rope to socket alignment, pouring, curing, and final inspection.
This is the kind of work that takes the right equipment, the right product knowledge, and experienced hands in the shop.

Be on the lookout for the upcoming video showing our team fabricating this monster from start to finish.

Great slings are built by great teams.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at two of our team members working together on a custom wire rope sling — the kind of hands-on fabrication that takes coordination, experience, and trust in the person working beside you.

Large wire rope assemblies don’t come together by accident. Every step matters, from handling the rope and forming the eye to keeping the process moving safely and efficiently.

Technical callout:
- Custom wire rope sling fabrication
- Large-diameter wire rope assembly
- Built for heavy lifting applications
- In-house fabrication by experienced hands

This is what teamwork looks like on the shop floor: two people focused on the same goal — building a sling the customer can count on in the field.

Fast turnaround. Field-ready performance.

Big props to our synthetic crew for getting these 40' SPXCF2000 Single-Path Extra Covermax synthetic roundslings out on short notice — and even better, seeing them put to work in the field.

The SPXCF2000 is built for demanding lifts where customers need strength without the added weight of traditional rigging. With a 20,000 lb vertical WLL, lightweight handling, durable Covermax® jacket, and Check-Fast External Warning Indicator are designed to help crews work efficiently while still getting the performance the lift requires.

When a job is ready to move, the right sling — delivered on time — makes all the difference.

Built for balance, stability, and heavy lifting.

This is a BLP-201 Two-Leg Bridle Wire Rope Sling built with a master link sub assembly — designed for lifting applications where load control and proper connection points matter.

Two-leg bridle slings help provide added stability when lifting heavy or unbalanced loads, giving crews multiple pick points to better control the load. The master link sub assembly creates separated connection points for each leg, helping improve load distribution and reduce binding during the lift.

This assembly is tagged for traceability and lift planning, with key information like size, length, WLL, serial number, and manufacturing date clearly marked.
