15.4.2 Fittings

A range of lower terminal fittings may be used with wire rope slings, the most common are illustrated in Figure 15.4.2-1 .

In the case of multi-leg slings, links are used as the upper terminal fitting. End fittings are attached to the slings during the process of forming the eyes and are therefore not removable, except in the case of some shackles which can be made removable if required.
