Delta HMPE 1-5/8" Eye & Eye Sling

Delta HMPE Eye & Eye Sling – 1-5/8" | 12-Strand UHMWPE Rope Sling with Reinforced Eye Splices

The Delta HMPE Eye & Eye Sling from HMPE Warehouse is constructed from our 12-strand Delta HMPE® UHMWPE rope, with professionally reinforced eye splices at both ends for secure, direct connections to hooks, shackles, and lifting hardware. Each eye comes equipped with CORDURA® protective sleeves, guarding the splice points against abrasion and wear at the high-contact areas where the sling meets rigging hardware.

Weighing approximately one-seventh of an equivalent wire rope sling, the Delta HMPE Eye & Eye Sling transforms rigging operations. Crews can handle, position, and connect the sling with dramatically less effort, and the weight savings frees up valuable crane capacity that would otherwise be consumed by the rigging itself.

The 12-strand braided UHMWPE construction delivers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio paired with excellent bending fatigue resistance — critical for slings that repeatedly cycle over hooks, crane blocks, and sheaves. A protective coating enhances abrasion and UV resistance, extending service life in demanding outdoor, offshore, and industrial environments.

UHMWPE fiber does not absorb water and the sling floats, so rated capacity remains unchanged in wet or submerged conditions. This makes it a natural fit for marine construction, diving support, salvage operations, and offshore platform maintenance where wire rope slings corrode, stiffen, and lose reliability over time.

The eye and eye configuration provides a clean, direct connection between two points of hardware without additional rigging accessories. The braided rope body is easy to inspect visually along its full length — a significant advantage over wire rope slings where broken internal wires can be hidden beneath the outer strands.
