What are Steel mesh slings?

Mesh slings are constructed from steel wire strands . The mesh slings that we supply here at Rope Services Direct are made from alloy steel with wire strands that are woven into each other with a solid steel eye at each end. The final product looks similar to other lifting slings or straps.

About Steel Wire Mesh Slings

Steel wire mesh slings are widely used in industries such as steelmaking where loads are hot and abrasive, as well as environments in which nylon and webbing slings would be prone to cutting and piercing.

They offer a strong, reliable and ductile alternative to other types of lifting slings on the market. They won’t suffer damage from many of the harmful elements that we have mentioned above.

We can supply this product in light or heavy duty options. Light duty steel wire mesh slings come in widths of 4, 8 and 12 inches; the SWL will be dependant on which hitch type you use - the maximum is 3000kg for the 12 inch in a basket hitch.

Heavy duty steel wire mesh slings come in widths ranging from 3inches up to 24 inches; these max out at 20000kg in a basket hitch with parallel legs.

Please refer to the specifications above for all the details.
