Slings can be supplied either manufactured as cable laid slings up to 628 mm (24 3/4″) diameter with Calculated Rope Breaking Loads (CRBL) up to 13.000 metric tons, with hand spliced eyes at each end or as endless cable laid grommet slings up to 304 mm (12″) diameter with breaking loads on double part up to 6.800 metric tons.

All cable laid slings and grommet slings are manufactured in accordance with the current Guidance IMCA M179 from the International Marine Contractors Association.

The Calculated Sling Breaking Load (CSBL) of a cable laid sling, is equal to the sum of the minimum breaking loads of the individual outer and core rope unit ropes, multiplied by a spinning loss coefficient of 0.85 and a splice loss of 0.75 (according to IMCA M179).

The calculated minimum breaking load of a cable laid grommet sling equals 12 times the minimum breaking load of the unit rope, multiplied by a spinning loss coefficient of 0.85 (according to IMCA M179).

All cable laid slings and cable laid grommets supplied by Hendrik Veder are furnished with a separate test certificate for each component rope, showing the actual breaking loads. Also a Consolidation certificate is provided, a certificate of dimensional conformity showing the calculated minimum breaking loads of the cable laid sling and a certificate of examination.
