The H-Lift Cable Wedge Socket is a versatile, field-installable termination designed for applications requiring on-site adjustment of wire rope length. Unlike permanent resin or swaged fittings, the wedge socket utilizes the tension of the load to tighten the wedge into the socket body, creating a secure grip with 80% termination efficiency. This feature makes it invaluable for mobile cranes, draglines, and construction equipment where ropes may need to be shortened or replaced frequently due to wear.
The WRS-WS Cable Wedge Socket is a field-installable wire rope termination designed for mobile cranes and construction projects. Unlike spelter sockets, it requires no molten zinc or resin, allowing for quick on-site installation and rapid adjustment of cable length.
Designed for easy installation and adjustment on-site. The wedge mechanism acts as a vice, pulling tighter as the load increases for a secure grip.
Provides a termination efficiency of 80% of the wire rope's breaking strength. (Note: For 100% efficiency, use Spelter Sockets).
Essential for crane operations where cable length requirements change frequently. Allows for rapid shortening or replacement of the wire rope.
Available for wire ropes from 9mm (3/8") to 32mm (1-1/4"). Commonly used in cranes, draglines, mining, and excavators.
