About Soft loop fibre rope slings 

Rope Services Direct manufactures top quality soft loop end fibre rope lifting slings made by hand. Instead of the sling being one continual loop as in an endless fibre rope sling, it has a smaller soft loop at either end.

Your rope selection can be made from the following options; natural rope like sisal or manila or synthetic rope like polypropylene, polyester or nylon. Polyester soft loop fibre rope slings are probably the most popular. You can find out more about the properties of each fibre type on the main fibre rope sling page.

Hand Spliced Fibre Rope Slings

Hand splicing fibre rope to create a permanent loop at the end is done by weaving the rope's strands back into itself, resulting in a strong, flexible connection point that maintains much of the rope's original strength.

If you need a more structured eye that minimises rope wear then we can add a metal thimble during the splicing process, just ask.

Our soft loop fibre rope slings are ideal when used for towing and in handling heavy cargo on docks. Airports, transporter ships and ferries, engineering, factories and forestry all use them too. They can also be used in the leisure industry.

Alongside our fibre rope slings we additionally offer multi leg slings, wire rope slings, and coated slings and special tow rope kits, so why not see what else is available here on our website.         

Choosing the Right Fibre For your Sling

Consider your working environment when selecting material. Natural fibres work well for dry, indoor applications where cost matters. Synthetic options excel in demanding conditions with exposure to weather, chemicals, or sustained loads. Always inspect spliced eyes regularly for wear, and ensure splices are executed properly to maintain the sling's rated capacity and safety.
