Swage Socket

Commonly used in support and anchoring situations, such as pendant lines on cranes. Trinity Sling’s trained employees use large presses to permanently swage sockets onto wire rope. Swaged end fittings are available in open and closed varieties. When ordering swaged terminations, accurate measurements of length and a clear communication of the plane of the ends is critical (see chart below).
