Open Metalling Sockets

Open Metalling Sockets provide a strong and reliable method of terminating wire rope in demanding industrial applications where a permanent, high-strength connection is required. Designed to be used with molten socketing compounds such as white metal or approved resin systems, open sockets deliver excellent load distribution and help maintain the maximum strength of the wire rope assembly. Their open basket design allows for efficient socketing while providing a secure and durable termination for critical lifting and tensioning applications.

Manufactured from high-quality materials and available in a range of sizes to suit various wire rope diameters, Open Metalling Sockets are widely used throughout the mining, construction, offshore, marine, crane and infrastructure industries. Their robust construction, long service life and reliable performance make them the preferred choice for permanent wire rope terminations operating under heavy loads and challenging environmental conditions.

Our international suppliers and partners share our commitment to bringing quality lifting products to industry.
