Product Description

Overview

The RSR-71902 is a 10 mm galvanised steel wire rope sling built for rigging points that need a slim, abrasion-resistant steel suspension member. This 2 M version uses grade 1960, 6 x 19 class wire rope with thimble-protected eyes and ferrule-secured terminations, giving riggers a compact sling that stays inspectable without adding bulky hardware at the pickup.

Why It Matters

The 2 M length is a useful middle ground when a one-meter steel sling is too short but the pickup still needs to stay tight and tidy. It gives riggers extra reach without turning a compact steel connection into a long drop.

Key Features

  • 10 mm galvanised steel wire rope with 1000 kg WL °C gives a clear capacity reference for selecting the sling against the load and the rest of the rigging system.
  • Grade 1960, 6 x 19 class construction balances strength with enough flexibility for practical basket, choke, and straight suspension layouts.
  • EN 13411-1 thimbles and EN 13411-3 Type C cylindrical conical ferrules protect the eye termination and keep the load path visually straightforward during inspection.
  • Ferrule inspection hole lets crew check swage depth without guessing, which is useful when slings are checked repeatedly in rental or touring inventory.
  • Galvanised finish helps resist corrosion in warehouses, roof grids, and temporary outdoor environments where bare steel would age quickly.

Applications

A practical fit for stage rigging, truss suspension, secondary safeties, and compact steel connection points where polyester slings are less suitable because of sharp edges, abrasion, ultraviolet exposure, or limited clearance.

Compatibility

Use with properly rated shackles, hoists, truss hardware, and anchorage points; the connected hardware and support structure must meet or exceed the sling rating and the approved rigging plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose a steel wire sling here instead of a polyester round sling

Steel wire is the better choice when abrasion, sharp contact points, long-term ultraviolet exposure, or a very narrow profile matter more than a soft textile surface.

Can the ferrule area be inspected before a show or install

Yes. The ferrule includes an inspection hole so crew can visually check swage depth as part of normal pre-use checks.

When does the 10 mm version make more sense than the 14 mm sling

The 10 mm sling is useful where the load is within its 1000 kg rating and the rigger wants a lighter, less bulky steel sling.
