Southwest Wire Rope Cable-Laid slings are specialized slings, designed specifically for applications that require extreme flexibility and resistance to kinking. Type 12 is a single-leg construction for use singly or in pairs. Where cutting or abrasion are factors, however, the All-Purpose Type 11 sling is recommended.

* Rated capacities of basket hitches are based on a minimum diameter of curvature at the point of laod contact of 10 times the rope diameter.

** Rated capacities for choker hitches apply when the angle of choke is greater than 135 degrees.
