Cable Pulling Socks For Array, Export, Umbilical & Subsea Cable Installations

After 12 months of extensive research and development, Slingco are delighted to launch their new range of cable socks. Bringing you peace of mind with high-volume project capacity, quick availability, full testing details, and forty years experience.
