Swage Socket Sling
A swage socket sling is a type of wire rope sling that features swaged (compressed) sockets at the ends for a strong, permanent termination. These slings are widely used in heavy lifting, rigging, and structural applications where high strength, reliability, and minimal elongation are required.
Key Features and Benefits:
High Strength & Load Capacity – Swaging increases the rope’s tensile strength.
Permanent & Secure Connection – Provides a reliable and tamper-resistant termination.
Minimal Stretch & Flexibility – Ideal for applications requiring rigid and precise load handling.
Abrasion & Corrosion Resistant – Can be galvanized or stainless steel for added durability.
Available in Different Socket Types – Open or closed swage sockets to suit various applications.
Common Applications:
Cranes & Hoisting – Used for lifting heavy loads in construction and industrial settings.
Bridges & Structural Support – Provides stability in suspension bridge cables and tensioning systems.
Oil & Gas Industry – Applied in offshore rigging and drilling equipment.
Marine & Shipping – Used in mooring, towing, and ship rigging operations.
Swage socket slings are an excellent choice when high strength, permanent terminations, and low elongation are required.
