WIRE ROPE HARDWARE (GENERAL INFORMATION)

Cut lengths, crane, boom, or hoist cables with plugs, sockets, or specialty fittings.

CLOSED AND OPEN SWAGE SOCKETS

The Forged Swage Sockets are tooled from special, fine grained forging steel to meet the industry standards for performance while delivering superior reliability. Hardness and yield strength are balanced for optimum swageablility.

HEAVY DUTY WIRE ROPE THIMBLES

Heavy Duty Wire Rope Thimbles are made from heavy gauge steel and have deep score. They are heavier and stronger than regular wire rope thimbles, and are designed to withstand the crushing strains imposed by severe loads. They are recommended for use with all grades and constructions of wire rope.

DROP FORGED WIRE ROPE CLIPS

The term “drop forged” is derived from the fact that the bases or saddles are forged from special-bar-quality steel in closed impression dies. Drop Forged Wire Rope Clips are heavier and stronger than regular clips. They are used for heavy duty application, or where load conditions are severe.

STEEL BUTTON STOPS (PLUGS)

Steel Button Stops are fittings used to form a holding point on a piece of wire rope. Stops are also called plugs, buttons, knobs, end fittings or ferrules. Stops are designed to fit the end of cuts of wire rope and are applied by swaging.

SLIDING CHOKER HOOKS

Sliding Choker Hooks afford faster handling of pipe, logging, machinery and are also used in stevedoring. Its free movement permits rapid adjustment of the sling to varying sized loads. The saddle is rounded to minimize wear and the hook opening is large enough to take a heavy duty thimble of the same size.

EYE & SWIVEL HOIST HOOKS

Eye Hoist Hooks and Swivel Hoist Hooks provide a larger eye opening to accommodate such items as heavy duty thimbles, shackles and hammerlocks. Each hook is properly designed, carefully forged and precisely quenched and tempered giving maximum strength and fatigue resistance without excessive weight and bulk. Additionally, each hook permanently shows the rated capacity and offers a pre-drilled cam for an optional safety latch. Even years after purchase of the original hook, latch assemblies can be added. Caution: do not engage a load on the tip of a hook – the maximum working loads do not apply under such conditions.
