Steels covers wire rope slings in a range of lengths, from 0.5 m up to 17 m, in 8 mm, 12 mm and 14 mm diameters. Most are colour-coded and marked for quick identification on site, while shorter lengths are also available unmarked or sheathed in plastic for added protection against scuffing on structures or equipment. These steels are used throughout rigging setups to secure trusses, motors, and other loads at height, forming a core part of safe overhead rigging in stage, studio and live event environments.
Selecting the right length and diameter depends on the specific load and rigging geometry required for each installation. The variety of markings and finishes allows technicians to distinguish between different steels quickly during busy build and strike operations, helping maintain organised and efficient rigging practice across touring, broadcast and fixed installation projects.
