Wire Rope Accessories.
Every termination.
Thimbles to IS 2315, spelter sockets, US-type wedge sockets, US-type wire rope clamps and bull-dog grips: every fitting needed to terminate, fix or protect a wire rope.
Five categories.
All in stock.
How each one is built.
Where every part goes.
Five terminations, drawn to spec: pin holes, wedge angles, saddle orientation and the difference between live and dead ends. Useful when picking the right fitting for a job, or when verifying that an assembled termination is right-side-up.

Heart-shape thimble eye
Hot-dipped galvanised steel insert that lines the eye of a wire-rope sling. Protects the rope from chafing where a shackle pin or hook bears on it. Manufactured to IS 2315 dimensions.
Open or closed spelter socket
Conical forged-steel socket. The wire-rope strands are fanned out inside the cone and locked with poured zinc spelter or resin. Maintains 100 % of the rope's breaking strength: the strongest termination available.
Datasheet (PDF, 0.2 MB)US-type wedge socket
Open trapezoidal body with a drop-in wedge. The live end takes the load, the dead end loops back through and is secured. Designed to be re-installed in the field. Common on cranes where the rope needs periodic replacement.
Datasheet (PDF, 70 KB)Forged saddle & U-bolt
Forged steel saddle with a U-bolt straddling both rope sections. Mantra: "Never saddle a dead horse." The saddle sits on the live (loaded) end, the U-bolt grips the dead (loop-back) end. Multiple clamps spaced at 6× rope diameter form a complete eye.
Datasheet (PDF, 1.4 MB)Heavy-duty forged grip
British-pattern grip: single forged saddle with U-bolt and twin hex nuts. Both rope ends pass under the same saddle, with the U-bolt clamping from above. Common on guy ropes, marine rigging and where a heavier-duty grip than the US-type clamp is required.
