Cambridge's GRIPPER Slings are are everything a sling is supposed to be:

The GRIPPER Sling’s all steel metal mesh construction tolerates even the most abrasive loads without fear of sling failure. In addition, its environmental tolerance permits use at temperatures of up to 550 degrees F., and even higher when made of a special alloy.

Safe:

Proof-tested at 200 per cent of its rated work load, every GRIPPER Sling’s wide bearing surface improves load balance and gripping power. And since it won’t kink or tangle in use like wire rope or chain slings, loads won’t shift or slip. What’s more, its woven spiral construction eliminates the danger of sudden failure such as can occur with a rotting core in a synthetic sling or a weak link in a chain sling. All GRIPPER products are manufactured in accordance with OSHA and ANSI B-30.9 requirements.

Gentle

The GRIPPER Sling’s interwoven, smooth spiral wires offer complete flexibility. So the sling conforms to the contours of its load, eliminating the dangers of gouging, marring, crushing or cutting so common with wire rope or chain slings.

The GRIPPER Sling’s ability to outlast wire rope and synthetic slings will cut your costs in the long run. And, of course, you’ll also reduce the costs of damage to your loads. Finally, GRIPPER Slings can be repaired or restored at a fraction of the cost of a new sling.
