TIPS FROM THE CANOPY
SLING SIZING
It is important that you convey to your crew the dangers of mismatch-
ing hardware. One such mistake would be to install a grossly oversized sling or running line into a rigging block. In the accompany- ing image we illustrate the effect of an over-sized sling flattening to produce out- ward pressure on a block’s side plates in a manner that can damage one or both elements. Generally our blocks have capacity to support a sling 1/8-inch larger than its designated running line capacity. Work safe, pay attention.

ROPE LOGIC // EYE SLINGS
Eye slings provide simplicity and versatility for rigging hardware. A block, Portawrap or other device is secured within the sling’s eye, and a choking hitch such as a cow hitch or timber hitch is tied using the running end. Although one must know knots to use an eye sling, there’s no arguing its efficient simplicity.

ROPE LOGIC // WHOOPIE SLINGS
The Whoopie sling can be adjusted from short to long
in just seconds and is most often used by riggers to anchor a block
or friction device to a tree. A Whoopie allows the rigger to mount hardware snug against the tree, minimizing slack in the rigging system. Each Whoopie sling is hand-spliced by Rope Logic's certified splicers.
