Wire rope slings with fibre core and aluminium ferrule DIN EN 13414

Dolezych presses cylindrically as a default. The conical pressing as per DIN EN 13411-3 shape C is carried out on request with specially made ferrules. Benefits result from pulling under the load, as nothing can snag.

Wire rope slings “Flemish eye”

 10% more carrying capacity, heat-resistant up to 400°C

Benefits of “Flemish eye”

• Eye formation through splice + pressing = 100% safety to minimum breakage load for all 6-strand designs
• Conically lean steel ferrule does not snag when pulling under loads or bundling loads
• Wear and tear-resistant aluminium ferrule
• Ideal for heat usage up to 400 °C, if the wire rope is fitted with a steel core and a steel ferrule
• Less wear and tear – therefore more favourable price/performance ratio
• Top safety
• At temperatures of +150°C – +200°C 90%, at +200°C – +300°C 75% and at +300°C – +400°C 65% of the carrying capacity remain
• Easy use in many areas of application

Steel wire rope slings DoFlex

Reduce costs – with DoFlex steel wire rope slings

Treat your lifter to these soft ropes which can handle return radiuses better

1. Special design DoFlex S = 6 x 61 + FC
2. DoFlex K = cable laid rope design

Your benefits:

• the most flexible of all wire rope slings nestles perfectly to the load
• high carrying capacity through good section usage with DoFlex S
• super-smooth with DoFlex K
• avoids problems with kinks

DoAs wire rope sling in economic comparison of rope types

In the procurement, wire rope slings of normal design have a price factor of 1. Flexible wire rope slings DoFlex “S“ have 1.5 times the price and DoFlex “K“ about 2.5. As regards the lifecycle, DoFlex “S“ are superior to normal designs by the factor of 2 and compared to cable laid designs by a factor of 6.

The initially higher investment is therefore worth it after only a short period, in the illustration already after the 3rd investment in a rope of normal design.

 Rope sling – DoPremium

DoPremium – Rope slings combine the benefits of various rope sling types in one product:

• With the 6×61 IWRC rope construction, you have a very flexible full steel rope which is significantly superior to a standard rope sling with fibre core as regards the breaking force.
• The selected wire strength of 1,960 N/mm2 supports the requirement for a high breaking force.
• The „Flemish Eye“ press connection provides a solid steel clamp with high abrasion resistance.
• The cone form of the splicing prevents jamming of the lifting element when pushing through under the load.
• The rope slings are made completely according to the European color code as known with web slings and round slings (DBGM).
• With the three measurement in the easily distinguishable traffic-light colors green, amber and red and a load capacity from 2 to 5 t, the range of usual transport tasks is covered.

The splice

Steel wire rope slings with 2 spiced eyes made from the flexible 6 x 37 + FC rope type in galvanized variant.

Steel wire rope slings with spliced eyes in accordance to DIN EN 13411-2 (formerly DIN 3089-1) are perfectly suitable for lifting procedures in tight spaces. They can be easily pulled underneath loads due to their small conical shape. Contrary to the press clamp, the splice allows bending stress in every position. To prevent hand injuries from sticking out wires, we also make the splice with three hand protection variants:

• wrapped in solid adhesive tape
• with shrink hose
• with wire seizing

Steel wire rope slings with 2 spliced eyes are are offered in the following variants:

without splice protection

with adhesive tape

with shrink hose

with wire seizing

DIN EN 13411-2 provides instructions for the execution of the splice in addition to specifying the requirements for the splicer and the necessary tests. Spliced connections have the advantage that they are very flexible. Hence, for example, an unloaded spliced rope can be pulled out from under a load that is seated tightly against the side of a vessel. Of course splices – like all other end fittings – may not be bent under load. The splices are covered (not shown in the picture) with lanyard strands or shrink tape in order to avoid hand injuries.
