Crosby S280 Sling Saver Web Connector - Range from 2950kg to 7700kg
Crosby Sling Saver Web Connectors.
Crosby S-280 / SSWC-2384


With the Crosby Web Connectors, the increased radius of spool gives wider sling bearing surface resulting in an increased area for load distribution, therefore increasing synthetic sling efficiency as compared to standard anchor and chain shackle bows and conventional eye hooks. This allows 100% of the slings rated Working Load Limit to be achieved. This also allows better load distribution on internal fibers.
- All Alloy construction.
- Durable vinyl cover that protects sling at eye and keeps sling positioned correctly on spool.
- Design factor of 5 to 1.
- Connects synthetic web and synthetic round slings to conventional Crosby hardware including 320N Eye Hook, additional Crosby Grade 8 fittings, master links, rings and shackles
- Makes a field assembled bridle quick and easy.
- No cotter pin to snag sling material.
- Replacement kit for spool and web cover available.
- Designed for use with Type III (Eye & Eye), Class 7, 2 ply webbing & synthetic round slings. Also accomodates single ply and endless slings.
