Spider leg slings

[pd_denmark]

I am looking for some slings for crane spider legs.

What would you recommend?

I have been looking at 19mm ten ex slings from Samson , sold at sherrill.

19mm Twin Carrier Tenex by Samson, per foot | SherrillTree.com

That should give me a wll of little over 2 metric tons.

Anyone who use something else they can recommend? And how long slings do you use?

Thanks a lot :-)

Cheers.

hi Peder,

I use 12ft lengths of prussic 9mm black and yellow rope. Really flexible and can hang off my harness. Hope this helps

Scroll 5 down. Ranges from 19mm x 8m to 27m x 4.5m

Just make your own up, use either rigging line or I used some climbing line, figure 8 either end, one end has a large loop to allow a 6 wrap prussic to be tied to the main rigging line, you then slide this up and down to get the right shape for the limb that you are cutting.

have you looked at amsteel blue , that stuffs stupidly strong.

i don't think you can go too wrong with some of that nicely spliced , it will probably knot better then the am steel also

Know the feeling, gts ;-)

 

Climbing line sounds pretty weak for crane work :-/ doesn't it?

I have got some Amsteel blue as winch line. It's great, but you have to trie to avoid knots, as it has a pretty low melting point.

Saw that mark Chisholm uses Amsteel 2 plus - which is rope coated. Looks great.

Anyone who use the tenex 19mm?

Go with the tenex Amsteel is pretty self abrasive and has a low melting point as you say. It is however very strong (in the right apllication)

Just buy a load of 19mm tenex. The make them to your own specs with locking Brummell splice.
