摘要

The pre-slinging device for handling a package of billets (6) comprises a cable (1) at each end comprising two Y branches (1a,1b). One of the branches (1a) comprises a lifting loop (2) and the other comprises a coupling (5,7) which engages a coupling of the complementary branch of the other end of the cable. The distance between the junction points (3) of the two branches at each end, as well as the length of the loop branches is determined so that, when placed around the billets in the lifting position, the junction points are under the top edge (8) of the package and the ends of the lifting loops are above the edge.
