What material is the 10K Apex Fitting made of?

The 10K Apex Fitting is made of aluminum due to its desirable properties for application in aviation and slinging operations. Aluminum is lightweight yet strong, offering an excellent strength-to-weight ratio that is crucial for aviation-related equipment. This characteristic allows for easier handling and reduces the overall weight of the slung load without compromising structural integrity.

Additionally, aluminum has good resistance to corrosion, which is important in various environmental conditions. This durability ensures that the fittings can withstand the wear and tear associated with repeated use and exposure to different elements. The choice of aluminum for the 10K Apex Fitting aligns with the operational requirements for safety, efficiency, and performance in sling load operations.
