Wire rope slings in eye-eye configuration, 6 / 8 / 10 mm diameter, IS 2762 / EN 13414-1 — quality lifting accessories for crane and chain-block operations. Multi Trade Combines stocks and supplies from Guwahati to Northeast India; price on request.
A wire rope sling is a critical lifting accessory — the link between a crane hook, chain block or shackle and the load being lifted. Multi Trade Combines on AT Road, Guwahati stocks eye-and-eye wire rope slings in 6 mm, 8 mm and 10 mm diameters, fabricated from quality multi-strand steel wire rope with swaged ferrule eyes for secure load attachment. These slings are used every day on construction sites, in fabrication shops and at industrial facilities across Northeast India to lift structural steel, machinery, concrete elements and heavy equipment.
Wire rope slings offer flexibility, strength and durability that fibre slings cannot match in abrasive or high-temperature environments. The multi-strand construction allows the sling to conform to irregular load shapes, distributing contact stress across the wire surface. The swaged ferrule at each eye produces a termination efficiency rated to the full breaking strength of the rope — no knots, no loosening under repeated load cycles.
Correct use of wire rope slings requires attention to the lift angle: the narrower the angle between the two sling legs, the higher the tension in each leg relative to the vertical load. Rigging crews on hydropower construction sites in Arunachal Pradesh and bridge-building projects along the Brahmaputra are trained in angle-factor calculations; they source quality slings from Multi Trade Combines because we can supply slings with traceable test certificates and accurate WLL markings. Borewell-drilling contractors use wire rope slings for drill-casing extraction. Guwahati's steel traders and steel-structure contractors use them at their yards daily.

Construction contractors working on multi-storey buildings, bridges and highway infrastructure across Assam and neighbouring states use wire rope slings with mobile cranes and tower cranes. Steel-structure fabricators in Guwahati's industrial areas use slings for loading and offloading cut-and-welded members onto transport vehicles. PWD and irrigation-department crews use slings to handle sluice gates and penstock components during maintenance. Tea-estate factories use slings with overhead hoists for lifting heavy rollers and machinery during annual maintenance shutdowns. Oil-sector contractors in the Sibsagar and Tinsukia region use wire rope slings at drill sites and flow-station installations. We dispatch slings in specified lengths to buyers across all NE states from our Guwahati counter.
Wire rope slings are always used in conjunction with correctly rated shackles (bow or D-type) to connect the sling eye to the hook or anchor point, and with crane hooks or chain pulley blocks for the lifting mechanism. Sling protectors — rubber or nylon corner pads — should be used when slings contact sharp steel edges to prevent notching. A sling storage rack keeps slings coiled and free from kinks between uses. Multi Trade Combines stocks shackles, chain blocks and safety equipment alongside our sling range — ask for a combined rigging kit quote.
A wire rope sling is a lifting accessory made from multi-strand steel wire rope with swaged or ferrule-secured eyes at both ends (eye-eye configuration) or a loop on one end. It is rated by its Working Load Limit (WLL), which varies with the wire diameter and the lift angle. For example, a 10 mm diameter wire rope sling in a straight vertical lift has a higher WLL than the same sling used at a wide sling angle. Multi Trade Combines stocks eye-eye slings in 6, 8 and 10 mm diameters in Guwahati.
For most structural-steel lifting in construction — beams, columns, purlin bundles — a 10 mm or 12 mm wire rope sling rated to the appropriate WLL is standard. Always derate for the angle: a 60° included-angle two-leg lift reduces each sling's effective capacity to 87% of its vertical WLL.
