Notch X-Rigging Ring Whoopie Sling 1/2 Inch Tenex 3-5 ft (35798) | High-Strength Tree Rigging

Notch X-Rigging Ring Whoopie Sling: Field-Ready Strength and Flexibility

Derived from marine industry innovation, the Notch X-Rigging Ring Whoopie Sling blends rugged hardware with precision rope work. The assembly uses a hard-coat anodized aluminum ring for durable performance, paired with a 1/2 inch Tenex rope from Samson and a Notch Rigging Thimble #2 Large (28mm x 20mm). Spliced in-house by Rope Logic, this setup is designed to stay reliable under load while remaining easy to handle in the field. The Working Load Limit is 1,750 pounds, reflecting a strong safety margin for common rigging tasks.

Feel and function come together in this rig: the aluminum surface resists the wear of outdoor use, while the Tenex rope provides a stable, low-stretch feel that helps lines sit where you expect them as you adjust lengths. The included thimble protects the ring and rope from rough edges, extending life in demanding environments. This isn’t just a piece of gear; it’s a modular tool you can adapt as your rigging needs evolve from ground operations to canopy work.

Key benefits you’ll notice in the field

• Premium materials: hard-coat anodized aluminum delivers light weight with strong corrosion resistance in variable conditions.
• In-house craftsmanship: the 1/2 inch Tenex rope is professionally spliced with a Notch Thimble to ensure a clean, protected connection.
• Substantial load capacity: a 1,750 lb working load limit provides a reassuring safety margin for common tree work tasks.
• Flexible length: adjustable from 3 to 5 feet to accommodate different rigging configurations without swapping hardware.

Versatile rigging for real-world scenarios

• Redirect lines and vary block angles with the quick, adjustable nature of a Whoopie Sling.
• Support speedline setups and fair leads, reducing setup time on busy job sites.
• Work around a tree’s natural structure to manage rope routing and minimize stress concentrations.
• Pair with a Notch Rigging Thimble #2 Large for edge protection and extended rope life in harsh environments.

In practice, this system enables you to move a rig from the ground to the crown with fewer gear changes, while maintaining control over line angles and load distribution. While it offers strong performance and adaptability, always assess each rigging scenario for site-specific requirements and practices. Regular inspection and proper setup are essential to safe operation.
