Dead-Eye Ring Sling with Beast Ring

This dead-eye ring sling comes with a Beast ring, a large rigging ring, for a smooth, heavy-duty rigging point. Choke the sling on the stem through its eye and run the rigging line through the ring or clip a block.

A big ring for heavy work

A large ring gives the rigging line a broad radius to run over, which is kinder to the rope than a small ring and builds useful friction at the top. Hung on a dead-eye sling, it makes a rigging point that is light, strong and quick to set.

Check the listing for the sling diameter and length so it matches your rigging line. See our heavy-duty slings for other options.

Inspection and limits

Before each job, run the sling through your hands. Look for cut or pulled strands, glazed or melted fibers, flat or stiff spots, and heavy UV fading, and check that the splices and buries are intact. Retire it if you find damage you can't explain or after a shock load bigger than you planned for. Check the ring for gouges, sharp edges and deep wear grooves, and retire it if the rope surface is no longer smooth.

Rigging gear is for moving wood, not for life support. Match every component to the load with a working margin, follow the manufacturer's ratings and ANSI Z133, and make sure the crew is trained in rigging before relying on it. Note when each piece went into service, so worn gear gets retired on time instead of living on the truck for years.
