Adjustable Whoopie and Loopie Slings
Loopie Slings are adjustable continuous loop slings made from Samson Tenex rope that makes knotless rigging possible. One of the most popular uses of this sling is to attach a block at the top of the tree without having to tie a knot. Available in multiple lengths, this is a great item for rigging secondary pulleys, redirects, and multiple anchors to help loading on the main pulley.
Whoopie Slings are made from 12-strand polyester Tenex rope & designed for knotless rigging. One eye is fixed and the other is adjustable, with one end of the spliced rope passing through the center of the hollow core. Set the choker and shorten the eye to adjust length. When weight is applied to the sling, the outer core tightens on the rope.

Whoopie Slings
Quickly set hardware without tying knots! Each Whoopie sling has a fixed eye and an adjustable eye. Set the choker and shorten the eye to adjust length. This sling is often used to attach blocks or Port-a-Wraps to the tree, because the adjustability minimizes slack in the system. Professionally hand-spliced from Samson Tenex 12-strand polyester.
Our WLL rating is very conservative & calculated with the sling in the weakest configuration, the choker.
WLL: 1/2” = 880 lb • 5/8” = 1,280 lb • 3/4” = 1,690 lb • 1” = 3,025 lb
Loopie Slings
Adjustable Tenex round sling makes it possible to rig without tying knots. Forms a loop which can be adjusted to the right size and girth hitched around the tree. Can be used for blocks, friction devices, etc. Professionally hand-spliced from Samson Tenex 12-strand polyester.
Our WLL rating is very conservative & calculated with the sling in the weakest configuration, the choker.
WLL: 1/2” = 1,760 lb • 5/8” = 2,560 lb • 3/4” = 3,360 lb • 1” = 5,800 lb
Loblolly Sling New in 2012!
Travis Morales in FL asked us to build one of these. He uses it as a satellite pulley and also to negative-block small material with great success. We liked it so much, we made them up for this year's catalog! Pinto Rig pulley with spacer spliced onto 3/8" Tenex in a Loopie configuration that adjusts out to 3.5'. Working Load Limit in choker: 450 lb.
Omni Block Loopie New in 2012!
After building several of these slings for customers, we decided to feature them in our catalog. 1/2" Loopie spliced onto the Omni Block 1.5 makes for a slick rigging setup. Omni Block has a manufacturer WLL of 900 lb. Sling has a WLL of 1,760 lb and adjusts out to 4' max length.
