CABLE SLINGS

Mobile cranes, ideal for indoor use. The mobile jib crane can lift loads ranging from 150 kg to 500 kg with a radius of action of around two metres. The mobile jib crane can be moved by means of all-terrain wheels, which allow it to move on any type of ground. The most commonly used model is the mobile jib crane with a triangular boom with a hollow profile that adapts to workshop conditions.

Drum cranes are the most common cranes, especially in the industrial sector. This type of crane is designed to move very heavy loads of up to several tonnes. They can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications. The jib crane is fixed with chemical anchors or with anchor rods and concrete blocks. The jib cranes are available with a triangular or inverted jib with a rotation range of 270° to 360° and a reach of up to 9 metres.

The wall-mounted jib cranes are equipped with a triangular or inverted jib, which reduces the headroom. The wall-mounted jib crane has the option of being motorised or manual with a 180° rotation. The wall-mounted jib cranes are suitable for individual use and avoid clutter in the work area. The lifting capacity of this type of jib crane ranges from 150kg to 4 tonnes with a standard reach of up to 8000mm.

Our rope slings are manufactured by us in our lifting and handling workshops in France according to the diameter, number of strands and length of your choice. For the sleeving of the lifting cable slings, we use a press with a high pressure which ensures the robustness of the sling. To protect the rope and increase the strength of the sling, you can choose to add a small or large opening heart lug.

How to choose a cable sling?

To choose the right rope sling for your lifting operation, you must :

Know the type of rope sling you want: 1 strand, 2 strands, 3 or 4 strands depending on the attachment points.

Know the maximum working load linked to the diameter of the sling cable. Please note that the load factor must also be known as it can have a significant influence on the sling's working load capacity.

To accompany your lifting sling, lifting accessories can be added. For this, you need to know your lifting requirements in order to choose the type of hook for example.

Finally, choose the total useful length of the sling, which is usually 1 metre by default.

For each sling, you can choose accessories cable sling you wish to combine: heart lugs, hooks or head links.

Wire rope slings can be made of steel or stainless steel wire rope. When the rope sling is made of steel, the rope is made from a steel wire drawn to have several diameters. The wires are joined together to form a strand. When several strands are joined together, this forms the rope. Depending on the load and capacity required, the sling will consist of a rope with more or less strands.
