Stainless steel sleeved slings: manufacturing, testing, and applications

Reliable and customizable stainless steel slings

At INOX SYSTEM, we manufacture sleeved slings made of stainless steel cable that combine strength, safety, and flexibility of use. Thanks to our expertise and state-of-the-art machinery, we can produce your sleeve slings in diameters ranging from 3 mm to 12 mm in record time.
We offer a standard length of 50 cm, but we can also meet your custom requirements: from 20 cm to 20 m (and more if needed!).

Manufacture of stainless steel sleeved slings: our process

1. Selection of stainless steel cable
   We work exclusively with AISI 316 stainless steel, renowned for its corrosion resistance and durability in marine, industrial, and architectural environments.
2. Copper sleeving
   The core of the process is based on a precisely compressed copper sleeve. This choice guarantees optimal mechanical strength and increased safety.
3. Protective sheathing

Once sleeved, the sling is sheathed to:

• prevent the cable strands from causing injury during handling,
• provide a neat, attractive finish.

Our different sling configurations

To suit your needs, we offer several types of assemblies:

• Heart thimble/heart thimble slings: robust, ideal for lifting and handling.
• Heart thimble/free end slings: flexible and adaptable to your needs.
• Loop/free end slings: versatile, practical for many applications.
• Loop/loop slings: simple and effective, perfect for quick fastenings.

Rigorous testing for maximum safety

Each sling undergoes a series of demanding checks:

• Tensile testing to ensure compliance with breaking load requirements.
• Visual inspection of the cable, sleeve, and sheathing.
• Quality controls based on industry best practices: ASME B30.9 (Inspection Checklist for Wire Rope Slings).

These steps ensure consistent reliability and complete traceability of our products.
