These lightweight round slings are ideal for easy and inconspicuous suspension of stage sound and lighting equipment. Black sleeve material helps the sling blend into its surroundings. The load-bearing member of our Steel-Tex round sling is made of galvanized steel aircraft cable wound in an endless configuration. The wire core is encased in a heavy black polyester cover. A unique inspection window with a velcro closure is located beside the capacity tag. This wide window allows for easy inspection of the core for broken wires or corrosion.

Steel-Tex round slings (commonly known as a GAC [Galvanized Aircraft Cable] slings) can be found at every entertainment venue and event where rigging is hung.

There are a number of ways to sling a truss in a correct manner, however it is always important to remember these few things:

Correct Rigging Methods:

• Where possible, use the lower cords of the truss as the connecting point
• Always sling in a compression configuration rather than a tension configuration
• Where possible, it is good practice to rig at the ‘Node’ point

Things to remember:

• All rigging of trusses should be done by licensed persons
• You must never exceed the system's W.L.L for operations - Including any dynamic loadings that may applied
  
• Where possible, you should sling at a ‘Node’ point
• A deformed truss is not a safe truss
