French term

élingage en cravate

French to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Slinging
Hi all,

Hope all's well!

I'm translating a construction site welcome pack from French (France) into English (United Kingdom) and am having trouble with the section relating to safe slinging techniques.

The phrase in question is beneath an image of an item being lifted in the type of loop shown in the bottom left of this image https://www.abc-maconnerie.com/technologie/mise-oeuvre/eling...

Does anyone know the technical term for this please?

Thanks in advance for your help! :)
Proposed translations (English)

Endless Round Sling If you're referring to the yellow sling with the blue label, it's an endless round sling (as opposed to an eye sling). See Suzie's ref and the refs below:

I did a search for "cravate" on that page and nothing came up, though it could be non-searchable text.

There are lots of images on the link you've provided so not sure which one you are referring to.

Does this help?

choke sling

If you look at the picture, you'll see how it gets its French and English names.

CRAVATE
un des 3 modes d’attache d’une estrope (voir Spanset) ou d’une élingue.
{NB : en anglais on dit choke, mot à mot to choke = étrangler}

Type 1 (Polyester Triangle Choke Sling): this type is like a standard type 2 triangle sling because they both have steel triangles that are designed to prevent wear and tears

Choker hitch

I found the following YouTube videos to be really useful:

I am a lot more familiar with lifting and rigging (levage et élingage) in the nuclear power industry where élingue = sling & élingage = rigging. In this particular context, I would go with the term hitch, which would cover the élingage part of the source term.
