{"title":"Swage Socket Slings","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWire Rope Swage Socket Slings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wire rope sling handles a wide range of lifting and rigging work, from static support to direct attachment on a crane for moving heavy-duty loads. Adding a swage socket to the end of the wire rope extends what that sling can do, giving you a fitted connection point built specifically for heavy-duty applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Makes a Swage Socket Different\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name comes from how the socket goes on: a swager, essentially a hydraulic machine paired with specialized dies, presses the socket onto the wire rope. That process pays off in two ways. It holds up better against fatigue right where the cable meets the socket, a point that tends to be the weak spot in other termination methods, and when fitted correctly, it preserves 95-100% of the rope's original strength, so you're not sacrificing capacity for the added functionality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSizing and Configuration Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwage sockets fit wire rope slings from ¼\" to 1-1\/2\" in diameter, so you can match the socket to the capacity and working load limit your project actually needs. From there, three end configurations cover different rigging needs:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eOpen \u0026amp; Open\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth ends carry an open socket with a pin, ready to attach directly to another fitting or a hook block for a crane lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eClosed \u0026amp; Closed\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth ends carry a closed socket with a hole sized for a bolt or pin, giving you a fixed connection point at each end of the assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eOpen \u0026amp; Closed\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne end open with a pin, one end closed with a hole.
