A cargo sling, tow-rope or the like comprises two cables embedded in a continuous elastomeric sheath of generally elliptical cross-section, these cables being disposed substantially in the longitudinal plane containing the major axis of the ellipse and in a substantially symmetrical relationship with the longitudinal centerline of the sheath; the cables extend beyond the sheath on at least one end, their projecting extremities being interconnected to form a loop or to engage an attachment such as an extension cable or a coupling member. The cables may be provided with deformations inside the sheath, such as undulations or shoulders, to prevent relative longitudinal slippage. The sheath can be produced by extrusion about the juxtaposed cables. |
