Several weeks ago Crane Tech identified a need for a new 3-leg bridle for our test weight to replace the nylon versions. So we contacted Certified Slings & Supply™ to order just what we needed.
When it was time for the slings to be fabricated, our Marketing Manager asked to watch the process to be able to share it with our Hooked On Crane Tech readers. Feeling inspired from the fabrication, we created this little video to show the steps a Certified Sling goes through from beginning to end.

About The Flemish Eye
The Flemish Eye is the most popular sling eye in wire rope slings, because of how the eye is formed and fitted with a pressed metal sleeve, this sling eye is strong and efficient. It has 95% efficiency rating of maintaining the wire ropes strength. The only improvement that can be made to this type of end fitting is to add a thimble to the eye, which is also known as a hard eye.
