Adjustable tREX sling (Loopie)

An adjustable sling, also known as a Loopie sling, is an essential tool for tree dismantling operations.

An adjustable sling (Loopie sling) is a fully adjustable continuous loop, made from a hollow braided rope. It can be adjusted by passing a part of the rope through itself, allowing it to fit a wide range of diameters for different types of loads or anchor points.

The design of the loopie is ideal for creating a choker hitch around a load or branch. Since it forms a closed loop, it can tighten securely around an object.

It is generally easier to adjust to various anchor points due to its continuous loop structure.

What rope does Hexarope use to make its adjustable slings with an eye?

Hexarope uses tREX from Teufelberger, which is ideal for use as a rigging line, soft eye sling, loopie, and whoopie. tREX is a low-stretch hollow braid rope made up of 12 strands.

This high-visibility rigging rope is easy to splice while maintaining a soft feel and excellent abrasion resistance. The distinctive features of tREX include its color design: each high-visibility strand is solution-dyed to prevent color loss over time. Additionally, tREX is wax-coated, which prevents the rope from becoming rough quickly, avoids the snagging typically encountered with such ropes, and significantly extends the rope's service life. tREX is available in diameters ranging from 9.5 mm to 22.2 mm, as well as in various colors.

What are the differences between a Loopie and a Whoopi ?

• Loopie sling: Continuous loop, fully adjustable, used for creating choker hitches.
• Whoopie sling: Adjustable only at one end, with one fixed eye and one adjustable eye, used for varying sling length and attaching to fixed points.
