Product Description
Overview
The RSR-72002 is a 14 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 version gives the 14 mm family a practical working length for common truss and beam wraps. It is long enough to route cleanly around hardware while staying compact enough for fast inspection.
Key Features
- 14 mm galvanised steel wire rope with 2000 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.
Is the 14 mm version mainly about extra capacity
Yes. The 14 mm sling carries the higher 2000 kg rating in this family, so it suits heavier pickups while keeping the same EN-compliant eye and ferrule construction.
