Rope Specification & Elongation Chart (PDF)
The durable polyester sheath protects the high-strength, low-elongation HMPE core. With the same strength and low stretch characteristics as steel wire but at a fraction of the weight, the CoreX-12 is ideal for use as a winch line but can be used for any lifting applications where high strength and low stretch is required. This includes lifting slings and other industrial rigging applications. Available in diameters ranging from 3/8” up to 1 ¼” at the length you require.
CoreX-12 5/8" Crane Slings
Built for crane-assisted removals, Sterling’s Crane Sling Kit pairs rugged 5/8" CoreX-12 with strength and compliance arborists can trust. It’s the only kit that conforms to ASME B30.9—and the strongest on the market—backed by a 36,900 lb rope MBS and WLLs: vertical 7,380 lb; choker 5,535 lb; basket 14,760 lb. Each sling has two 12" hand-spliced eyes with wear pads: one to the crane hook, the other wraps the limb and connects back with a lifting shackle for a choked pick. Two 30' slings (yellow) and one 40' sling (red) enable up to three balanced connection points. Labeled to ASME B30 with a Scannable Data Matrix for track and traceability. Individual slings sold separately.
