Grommets

Grommet Wire Rope slings are made from one continuous strand of wire wire rope.  The endless construction gives it the ability to be made in very short circumferences.  Additionally, a Cable Grommet design gives extra capacity for the same size diameter rope in an equivalent eye to eye style sling.  For more flexibility and capacity, consider the Gator-Flex Grommet.
